Vinnie - are you listening?


Where's your ball Vinnie? This is the face he makes when you ask him this exact question. LOL. Oh Vincenzo!

Highpoint NJ - While on a visit at Matt's


Here is a photo I took while at High Point, NJ. The highest point in NJ! Duh!

Game night out -

Out at "Gameworks" : A combination club, restaurant and arcade. Had old-fashioned fun!



Ridgewood Apt. Coming together very slowly







The Matrix. Finally a fracking CAR!



The MODELS! Remember: Click to ENLARGE.

Not everyone is camera shy. And it's a good thing because it gives me more and more opportunity to brush up on my hobbiest-portrait skills as well as my directing skills and also gives me a chance to try new things with the poses. These wonderful models are each incredible people to talk to and get to know. I love them all!








What can I say about JULIE that I haven't already said one thousand times. So much emotion and kindness is packed into this 11 year old. I feel incredibly close to Julie and I always miss her when I'm not around her! I know she is going to grow into an incredible young woman soon and I can't wait to have more and more photos as time goes on. Love you, Julie!







Gabriel is way into chatting online so he likes to have updated pics for his profile. Trouble! Gabriel is now 18 and is getting used to all the responsibilty that comes with growing into a young man. He is also a kind-hearted very sweet natured guy that I know I will continue to be proud to call him a friend as the years go by. Gabriel comes from a very nice family with wonderful parents. He also has a fast-growing 11 year old sister - Gabriella!

Christmas Visit at Momma Rosa's place

I know it's a bit late to be looking at Christmas photos..but here are some from around the table at Momma Rosa's place and also from her relaxing patio.






Pics from Matt's Library project

The near-finished room in these photos shows all the hard work Matt put in overseeing the renovation of this room! Great JOB MATT! woo-hoo... makes you want to just STUDY and STUDY.

Luis Abel LOVES to clean.


We're not sure what it is about a mop or a broom, but Luis Abel loves to get ahold of one. We did a test and spilled some water on the floor and right away he wanted to mop it up. Hilarious to watch in person.

Ben on the Phone




Whether it's calling us a car - or setting up the next meeting, here are a few pics of Ben on the phone in the DR.
