Stacey and I finally had the pleasure of meeting the lovely ladies of Bergen Mama in person – Jenn & Robyn. They are just as sweet in person as they are on email and the phone. This month, Jenn & Robyn put together their “Mama’s Just Wanna Have Fun” Mother’s Day event at Whole Foods in Paramus and invited Stacey to be a vendor and event photographer. We had a blast. A lot of moms came with families and we even saw a few familiar faces – the family of one of our brides and a couple I went to lamaze class with a year ago! Such a small world. Here are some photos we wanted to share with the fab event. Thanks to Robyn & Jenn for inviting us to participate in this event. ^_^

In light of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, we wanted to put together our inspiration board of hope. Although there’s really only one image circulating on the web that says it all on it’s own, we wanted to at least try to find more to spread the message of hope. While of the images may be the disaster in the background, we hope you’ll see the image portrayed in the foreground of those that are out there helping.

Do you have your own inspiration boards to share about hope? They do not need to be directly related to the disaster. If so, leave our link in our comments section to share a link to an image that brings you hope.

We encourage everyone to find a way to help whether it be monetary or volunteering your time in the relief efforts for Japan:

American Red Cross texting info
American Red Cross online donation info
Facebook Causes page
Jump onto twitter, log into your account and follow the hastag by typing #PrayforJapan into the search box and you might find info or ways you can help

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to all those that are affected by this terrible disaster. We hope you will feel the love from all those who are reaching out to help.

Hi! This is Rita posting here. I’m so excited to be putting up my first blog message for you! Some of you have probably received an email (or two) and our newsletter from me already, but for those of you that haven’t, I’m Stacey’s Studio Manager and I wanted to introduce myself. As Studio Manager, I manage a variety of studio activities such as marketing and customer relations. You might even see me during a photo session in the future. =) My background includes advertising, marketing, communications, project management, photography and event planning. Outside of the Studio, I’m a new mom of my lil man, Reilly, and I also volunteer my time at Shelter Our Sisters, a shelter for women and children affected by domestic violence.

Stacey took some photos of Reilly and me and we had so much fun doing them I wanted to share a few of them with you. Hope you enjoy the photos! Looking forward to meeting all of you in the near future. Happy thanksgiving!

Morgan and I went to NOLA last week so that I could attend the PartnerCon Photography conference. It was an awesome time.. I decided that I would take all my “touristy” shots via my new samsung phone! ENJOY! Feel free to click on any of the images to see a larger version!

Hi Everyone!

Not sure how many of my readers know it, but McMorg and I moved this past March into a place of our very own!

We bought a condo in E. Rutherford NJ (its where the Meadowlands are) and have been spending A LOT of time working on making it our own rather then the cookie cutter place it could be if we didnt put our own personal touches on it! Sooooo below are a few photos from some of the rooms for you all to see and enjoy! There are still things we need to do but it is almost there! Wedding season has forced me to put a hold on finish decorating the bathrooms and tiling the kitchen backsplash, but that’s ok! ENJOY!!!

Jenny & Emily ~ B’nai Mitzvah

Hi All.. so sorry for the lag in posts.. these last 2 months have been a bit crazy! Anyways, this is a special post, it is really more personal for me then it is anything special photographically. Anyways.. here is the back story on my B’nai Mitzvah entry.

As many young ladies do, I spent most of my HS and almost ALL of college career making money babysitting. In particular I spent it BBsitting for 2 families. The Kleins and The Moores. Jenny and Emily (who are twins) are 2 of the 3 children that make up the Klein family… followed by their wonderful parent Joy and Andy and their brother, Zach. I have spent the last 13 years (ALL of the girls lives) knowing and helping to care for this family. This family holds a VERY large part of my heart and I love them SO much! Jen and Em were even part of my senior thesis project!

This past year, Joy told me she was sick ~ w/stage 4 cancer that had spread… and a few months back the doctors told her she only had 2 mns. left… and the next week Jenny and Emily performed their B’nai Mitzvah’s at home so that Joy could see it

Well… THANKFULLY.. she was there to be part of their super fun dance party and was looking AMAZING!!!!! The party took place 2 weekends ago at this great venue in NJ called Chakra. As I like to call them, “my babies” had so much fun and I was so honored that Morgan and I were one of the “adults” that were invited! Below are some photos I took ~ I did not have a flash.. oh well! I just wanted to share with you all a few people that have touched my lives in a way that I can not express. Thank you Klein family for touching my heart and letting me also be a big part of your lives! LOVE YOU!

My Girls!

Joy and her father. Howie

MERRY HANUKA-MIS!!!

So I couldnt sleep…decided instead of laying in bed and over thinking I would go online..While online I stumbled across what will now become my new everyday camera bag! I have been looking and looking for something like this! It is called the Kelly Moore Bag and I have yet to decide if I want it in grey, black or brown leather… It looks like a purse, but is actually a camera bag! woot woot! Check out the link I posted above and also the photo below… so sweet!Â Well, hope you all had a better, more sound nights sleep then I did! Enjoy the day and keep an eye out for my next blog post on Kim and Charles Liberty House Wedding!
