Birthday Weekend in Atlantic City

My High School friends and I went to Atlantic City to celebrate Sammy's 26th birthday. We had a blast and stayed at the beautiful Trump Taj Mahal. We had so much fun that we decided to make this an annual event. More pictures can be found here: Sammy's Bday Pics.

Essex County Jaycees Benefit Dinner

The United States Junior Chamber (Jaycees) gives young people between the ages of 18 and 40 the tools they need to build the bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections. - http://www.usjaycees.org/

I had an amazing opportunity to photograph a Benefit Dinner for the Jaycees of Essex County (Junior Chamber of Commerce). I met a room full of different young professionals varying in different ages, races, and sex. This group was like a family to each other.

Among the members of Jaycees I met OJ Anderson, former NFL for the NY Giants and also MVP of Superbowl XXV, Newly appointed Judge Sybil Elias (who is also Haitian-American by the way! Yay), and last but not least NJ State Jaycees President Mayor Eldridge Hawkins, Jr.

A special thank you for the opportunity goes to Faith Perfecto, Paul Carpio, Tom FitzPatrick, Jason Solowsky. The rest of the pictures may be found here: Jaycees Pictures.

Photoshoot - Melanie & Friends

When my coworker/friend Melanie found out I was doing TFP she jumped at the idea! Here is a shoot I did at her friend's, Carmen, house with their other friend Scooter. This was a fun shoot but it made me realize how much I need an exterior flash. I will be purchasing that shortly! Here are a few photos. You can find the rest on: Mel's Shoot

Slimmazz - BK Bridge

My socialite diva friend Chanel aka Slimmazz allowed me to shoot her on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was freezing that day but she was a trooper! You can find the rest of the pics from the shoot on: Slimmazz BK Bridge
