Alexis | Sweet 16

You may recall the photo session we did a few weeks back with this beautiful young lady.  She had a celebratory bash over at Hotel Indigo, where we happen to be house photographers.  Her family and friends were a delight, and helped her have the Sweet 16 party of her dreams.  Happy Birthday Alexis!!

Alexis | Portraits

Yet again, we had a brave soul enduring the cold in the name of creativity!  Alexis is having her Sweet 16 party later this month and wanted some portraits taken prior to the event.  She was AMAZING in front of the camera (and is a photographer herself), had tons of poses that we didn't even have to suggest to her, plus is a beautiful woman.  Ahhh...to be 16 again, what a wonderful moment in life!

Dayna | Sweet 16

We are always amazed when we shoot a Sweet 16 party - compared to how we celebrated ours back in the day, it's an awesome party for these very lucky teenagers!  Dayna's was no exception, everyone dressed to the nines, fantastic food, thanking loved ones with a candle ceremony, dancing, breakdancers...in other words TONS of fun.  Dayna looked gorgeous, as did her family and friends, many happy memories were created and we wish her a wonderful life ahead!!

Extreme Makeover, Photography Edition: Alexis Stein Photography

Recently in our personal and professional lives, there have been a lot of wonderful changes for us - establishing an already successful business in a new location (Long Island, NY), getting engaged and planning our wedding (basically seeing the wedding world from the OTHER side for a change!), and further solidifying how we work together and what we do.  One of the ways we are joined as a team is by being photographers together - so in essence, this past week we were married - CREATIVELY!

We are very excited to announce the launch of our newly redesigned website.  The first site was wonderful for several years, but it was time for revamping.  We feel that the new site really encompasses what Alexis Stein Photography is all about: beautiful naturally artistic photographs!  People that know us know that we embrace the world around us and the design and direction of the new site reflects that with its earthy appeal.  We wanted something very natural and easy to navigate for our friends, family and clients.  A HUGE thank you goes out to Glenn at FlareFX for his design (and zombie fighting expertise) and really understanding all of our ideas.

We hope that you all enjoy the new site, click on the photo below and let us know what you think:

Sweet Sophia's 1st birthday

Here are some photos and two versions of heartwarming video slideshows from a 1st birthday party we photographed at the end of last year.  Sophia was such a sweetheart - Happy Birthday!

Taylor's Sweet 16

Every girl should be so lucky as to have an amazing party like Taylor's.  We had an wonderful time at Giorgio's - wonderful food, staff, setting...despite the cold, snowy weather.  Taylor's family and friends were all fun and sweet...and she was the perfect subject - beautiful, fun and photogenic!

Also check out the overnight edit video (did he sleep??) that AJ made.

Happy Sweet 16 Taylor!
