I am once again behind in my blogging but I’d like to think of it as a good thing….I’ve been busy with photo shoots, work, kids and getting orders in before the Christmas break…. I’m so grateful that despite a very busy schedule, my health is still in tact….

I want to share with you my photo shoot with Carsten.  He is preparing for the upcoming iPop Model Competion early next year.  While he already has all the Zed/ comp cards he needs, there is one particular photo that her mom wants me to take for Carsten.  As for me, I am happy to wake up one early morning to work with him and his mom because this guy  is so fun to do a shoot with.  He follows directions well, has patience and does not hesitate to give me the expression I asked for….so cool! He already sounds like a winner to me

I wish you well and good luck on that competition!

This photo session was held a few months back for Saint Rose’s Hospital’s new program: Surgeons-on-Call.  I was  allowed to take photos inside the Operating Room (OR) and it was a unique experience for me.  Well for one, my assistant and I  had to wear gowns and caps while doing the shoot.  I looked like a little messed up kid who woke up from a bad dream.  But looks aside, lighting an OR was a challenging yet fun experience - think bouncing lights all over the tiles surrounding us…

Anyway, here are a few images from that shoot and the esteemed surgeons who were kind enough to spend their evening with us.

Remember the newborn who was lying down on a round plate? ….well..she kinda outgrew that plate and at 7 months,  she is now sitting on the plate with a big sweet smile…in baby years, they change so much and it is nice to see them blossoming and with their own personality.  In Elena’s case, she has the biggest smiles and expressive eyes…
