It’s good to be back! Live at the Gantries 2011 in Long Island City
Wednesday, July 13th, 2011Yesterday was the first show of the series Live at the Gantries and it started with nice hot Latin music from Latin Jazz Coalition.
You guys know my main work is photographing kids but I’m always shooting events for Queens Council on the Arts (QCA) and Live at the Gantries is a very special event for me since it was my first official gig three years ago (in 2008) when I started shooting as a professional photographer. It’s fun to remember my first concerts [link] =) And even more pleasant to see my former clients again =)
… And before I start to get emotional I’m just going to show you my peaks from yesterday’s performance =)
Of course kids always steal the show. I love to see them dancing.
…and running…
…and breakdancing too!..
Well sort of.
I can’t resist cute dogs!
Hope to see you guys next Tuesday for another concert at Live at the Gantries!
Family portraits in Long Island City
Thursday, June 23rd, 2011I love when I get to photograph a child at different stages of their life.
I met Emerson and her mom in December for one of the holidays photo sessions I did at Floresta. I loooved her, she was so little, super cute blowing bubbles and making funny faces! She’s 8 months old now and still super cute with her funny expressions plus she’s super alert, sits by herself and is almost walking!
We did the family photos with Mom and Dad at seven in the morning when the princess was in her best mood and the sun was just perfect.
Enjoy the rest of the week!
First Communion Celebration – Sneak Peek
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011The day after the portrait session, we had Guiseppe’s communion. No pictures allowed at the church so I just documented the amazing party they had at Testaccio Restaurant in Long Island City.
The family enjoyed a delicious meal and had lots of fun, especially with the caricaturist Fred Fassberger. Not just the kids but adults as well got their caricature done.
I have tons of pictures but I’m just going to share a couple here, if you want to see more please go to my Facebook page:

Kids Portraits at the Park Sneak Peek – Long Island City, NY
Saturday, May 14th, 2011I’m so excited about today’s shoot!. I just got home and had to pick my favorite images and share it. For this session we were super worry about the weather, it didn’t look good for a while and almost re-scheduled, but we didn’t give up and made it trough the shoot without a drop!
Even though I like to shoot when it’s cloudy, the only thing is that we didn’t have a nice sunset. Anyway… life goes on and here we are, I’m glad we decided to go on and had the opportunity to play with this family and document a fun time at the park.
Enjoy!

Happy Family! – Long Island City Portrait Photography
Sunday, February 6th, 2011
The first week of December 2010 I had a special portrait week for kids, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with amazing kids and families.
A very fun and high-energy session was with a beautiful girl named Mirabelle, she’s one of the happiest kids I’ve seen and I truly loved working with her and her family.
I had so much fun with her, inmediately after a few seconds warming up to the studio she was laughing and making funny faces =)
I love the wonderful relationship in this family and I’m glad I was able to capture those feelings.
Daddy time!
Enjoy more photos from this family session after the break!

Baby Emily – Kids photography in Long Island City
Saturday, November 20th, 2010
This is Emily. A little angel I took pictures of a while ago at Little Closets (snif!)
I love to capture different expressions in my sessions. Smiles are cute but my true favorite expressions are the ‘serious’, ‘silly’ and ‘curious’ =)
It’s hard to be cute…
