The Foscos
My best friend is getting married! It's going to be like a movie. Maybe we should make a movie out of it.
Katie and Doug have been friends forever and dating for 3 years and I'm proud to have Doug as a best friend in law. Doug asked Katie at Montrose beach at a sunrise they were watching, so of course we had to go back to Montrose for their engagement photos.

You be my glass of wine, I’ll be your shot of whiskey”

WHY HAVE I NOT ATTENEDED EVERY YEAR?
My friend Katherine Recommended me for this gig and I am so thankful she did because I would have never known about this wonderful event. Germanfest was held in Lincoln Square from Friday to Sunday. On Friday they had a keg tapping, Saturday a parade and lots of food and on Sunday they had all kinds of Folk dancing. Everyone was so kinds and the food.....THE FOOD was so good! Even Mancow showed up in his pilot shirt.
Grand Opening of The Cotton Duck, an art gallery as well as a BYOB restaurant. Renee McGuiness was the first to exhibit her art work while Chef Zumpano cooked up a storm.
Guess what? Chop will soon be offering a Lunch menu! Finally the only restaurant at the Shops at Roosevelt Collection will be open for Lunch, so I can meet all my old co workers for a Friday Lunch or grab a dinner and a movie with the hubby. As a famous guy used to say "Winning!"
One of my favorite subjects, of course cars, but recently it has to be motorcycles. I have had a high request of those and I'm in Love. They are beautiful and fun to shoot. I wish I could ride one around town in this weather. I have learned many things from my encounters with gentlemen and their toys. 1. they take extreme good care of their toys and this motorcycle was no diffrent, 2. It is literally their baby and they can talk for hours about it. It amazes me the difference between women and men. My husband for one, will not go to one of those automatic car washes. Our babies only get hand car washes. I think the cars come before me ;).
Here is a recent shoot I did for the owner of New York City Bagel Deli , of his Harley Davidson. If you are ever around town. Give their bagel sandwiches a try. They are the best! Plus the crew at the Deli is super friendly and they will most likely have a really cool t shirt on. Enjoy!
C Louise Public Relations does it again. They know how to host an event. The event was held in the garden of a private home at 1442 North Astor street. In a prime location and with the lake right outside the door. We were free to roam around the house and explore all the rooms. Not going to lie, I got some styling tips from this house. Already purchased some of the rugs used in there.
Chef Charles Webb was the man of the hour. Always amazing my taste buds with his creations. Not only does everything he cooks taste delightful it is pleasing to the eye. Nathaniel Glossen and Amber James were the sous chefs helping Chef Charles, always answering questions and making sure we tasted everything. DJ Madrid rocked the night away with his music and energy. Once again it's a pleasure to be surrounded by such great people.
It was a hot and beautiful day for for the inagural Arranmore Polo Classic. Congratulations to the Sophisticated Living Magazine team on a great match and win. I have never attended a Polo match before, but I am officially obsessed. I can't wait to visit again.
An Engagement. These two are such a charming couple and I'm so happy they brought their new addition with them. Tegan is such a doll and I can't wait to see her grow up. I wish them the very best for their future because they deserve it. Check back in September for their wedding shots.
