brooklyn flea food market | smorgasburg | williamsburg | nyc

spring has finally arrived in new york and smorgasburg, an awesome food market featuring over 70 food vendors, is back outdoors at the east river state park in williamsburg on saturdays & brooklyn bridge park pier 5 on sundays. opening day on april 5th still felt like winter with the wind and cold but the following weekend was a perfect 70 degrees and everyone was out to enjoy the warm weather and delicious food. bep, a vietnamese eatery in williamsburg, and a veteran of smorgasburg, let me spend a fun day with them capturing the food, people, and a few other vendors.

if you’re visiting new york city, come out to brooklyn and check out smorgasburg! (fyi – all vendors are cash only.) and while you’re in nyc, i have a special for couples, families, etc., who are interested in capturing a session in nyc. contact me for more details!

i will be doing a short series featuring other food vendors (ramen burgers, anyone?) as well…stay tuned!

alek’s farm theme birthday | zoomars | san juan capistrano

** this session has been featured on on to baby **

For many of us, trips to a farm can be few and far between. As someone who is extremely fond of long walks in the English countryside I often find myself coming across farmland that offers a wealth of photographic opportunities. So with an awful lot of topics to cover, here are some tips on how to make the most of your next agricultural trip to the farm!

Zoomars in san juan capistrano is one of the coolest petting zoos in orange county, you can get a lot of pet portraits if you are in to photography. they also rent out areas to have birthday parties, which include train rides, petting zoo, pony rides, etc. i would have loved to have my birthday party here when i was younger…or now…haha! i have been so fortunate to see this little fella, who grow up through the years. i have been photographing him since he was in his mama’s belly! it’s such an honor to capture his special moments and his mama amazing! melita, alek’s mom, should be an event designer/coordinator because her parties have such awesome details and decor. check it out for yourself…
