A great man and an amazing spirit

OK... In my defense, they said "Hey let's do the Thumbs Up thing"... I fell for it


An AMAZING Bar Mitzvah

February 18, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

Unbelievable Bar Mitzvah Saturday night at Cafe Brauer with Reva Nathan and Tom Kehoe.  Some surprise guests added to the great evening.  I'm so sad that Ean is the last of their 5 sons to be Bar Mitzvah.  Such a great family!

I have been working incredibly hard for the last 6 months on new ways to help my clients and to offer some exciting new items in order to enhance their experience with Photo Images.  We appreciate all our beta testers and the input and feedback that they have provided.

As the new year begins, our phone has been ringing with new couples checking their wedding dates with us and I am loving it!  Many are referrals from previous clients and I feel I should really thank all of you.  If you did not receive this on your mobile device... I would like to share it here.

It is very interesting to hear how you are perceived by people when viewing your website.

March 09, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

  A couple of weeks ago, I had a perspective client come to meet me.  At the end of the consultation, she told me that she was "very happy that she decided to come in to meet me" because she almost did not, based on her perception of what I would be like based on the feel of my website.  She knew my photographic skills and that I could capture the moments exquisitely, but what would I be like  to work with?

   She explained that she had expected me to be very aggressive and an "in your face" photographer and perhaps even a little "arrogant".  Anybody who knows me knows...  that is definitely not my personality.  My personality is much more gentle and my style of photography is to blend in and capture the day and definitely not take it over.  She did not get the feeling that I am a "romanticist", caring  and "soft" person, which is the feeling she had after meeting me. 

  After asking more perspective clients about the impression they had received from my website, I had several similar responses.

NOW  I wonder, how many people did not call me because of this false impression???? 

  Well... it was obvious it was time to work on my website.  It is now live online and almost finished. 

                                                       Please leave any comments and suggestions.

This was posted today on WeddingWire/ MarthaStewart.com.  Thank you sooooooooo much! 

 
 
Phil Farber is truly amazing!!! He was so much fun to work with, he's easy going, and produces the best photos I have ever seen. He knows exactly how to capture moments without being a distraction to anything going on during the entire wedding day. You can never take back your day and repeat it so you want to make sure your photographer is someone you trust to capture these memories and Phil Farber is exactly this person. He exceeded all of our expectations and my husband and I in addition to our family are all in love with all of our photos.

On the 3rd Anniversary of my Granddaughter's Murder

September 17, 2011  •  Leave a Comment
 On the 3rd anniversary of one of the most horrific days of my life, I wanted to repost some of the amazing tributes that were made in memory of Savannah.  Never forgotten... until we meet again.
 
Thank you to the talented musicians who recorded this song  and to Bob Young for writting this breathtaking song in memory of our little angel -  Brand New Angel - When Savannah Smiles - 
 
 
 
 

And Malysa Stone for posting his beautiful video.

And thank you to Shari Solheim for posting her amazing words!

Crumpled Up Piece of Paper

(I wrote this about a week after Savannah passed away, so it was inspired by her.)

So maybe someday you'll

understand

a crumpled up piece of

paper I am.

The story of a girl is written on

me.

But I'm crumpled up

and no one has read

me.

No one has cared to listen to

the thoughts of one

lonely

girl.

A girl that was told

she was always wrong.

A crumpled up piece

of paper I am.

Someday someone will

find me and unfold

me and try to lay

me flat,

iron out my back.

But the scars will remain,

the wrinkles on my page.
