Come to me, my love . . . Sevgilim, bana dön. | Prallsville Mills, Stockton, NJ

The Turkish language is, in my humble opinion, a beautifully spoken and romantic sound. Before Alp and Aydan's wedding I had not really been exposed to it much, however, that day certainly made up for lost time!

The day was steamy, dripping with water droplets that seemed to float in midair, probably the hottest of the year and yet that seemed to barely effect anyone because the beauty of Aydan in her wedding gown took everyone's breath away. With a rustic feel and vintage backdrop of an old water mill, they wed at Prallsville Mills in Stockton, NJ which sits alongside the Delaware River. Here are but a few of our favorite images captured that lovely day.

Portrait of a Lady

A few years ago a sweet young girl walked into my piano studio eager to learn to play piano. Every week I was always touched by her meek and humble countenance and I often thought in the back of my mind how beautiful she was not only on the outside but on the inside . . . a lesson my mother always ingrained in me which was the most important quality anyone could achieve.

Well, eventually Elizabeth had to discontinue her piano lessons and I had on occasion wondered what ever became of her. My answer came in a surprise phone call from her mom who had asked if I could do a portrait session of Elizabeth. She wanted to surprise her daughter for her Sweet 16 and knew Elizabeth would be extra excited once she saw me pull up in my Mini Convertible with camera in hand ready to do a Diva Session :-) And boy was she right! Despite the many mosquitos out that night - Elizabeth was a such a pro and one would never guess that during the session we were getting eaten alive! Oh, what we do for beauty . . . Check out some of the amazing images we captured on that warm, sorta-kinda-humid evening.

Family Portrait Session

This Monday I had the privilege of photographing the most beautiful little 9 month old boy named Tanner along with his mom and dad. It was a perfect sunny day at Point Pleasant, NJ and we walked along the boardwalk randomly catching glimpses of a typical summer day. I hope you all love the images as much as his mom and dad do, and of course me too! :-)
