merry merry minis, a recap in photos | summit, nj lifestyle photographer

Last week we had another fun-filled two days of mini sessions at Murray & Finn in Summit.  As usual the girls from M&F killed it with the holiday decorations and backdrops.  I was so happy to meet all the new little girls and boys who came out for it.  I'm already looking forward to the next group of Minis we will be doing at the end of January.  Without giving anything away --  your children will love them!  Stayed tuned for the special theme or make sure you sign up for my newsletter.

In additional, if you would like to learn how to make this beautiful wreath below, be sure to sign up for Murrary & Finn's Wreath Workshop with Flores Del Sol on Thursday, December 11th.  For more information check it out here.

The Long Table was an amazing evening filled with 60 guests who all came and took a seat at the "very" Long Table.  It was held in Bonny Neiman Antiques and Artisan's space in Summit, NJ. The floral decor, which I was obsessed with, was designed by Parkers Petals and the delicious artisan dinner was by Panetica.  The Scout Guide NNJ was also part of this lovely affair.   It was a beautiful August evening filled with friends, laughter, wine and good food.  Keep your eyes and ears open because I'm sure there will be more Long Table dinners to come!

I'm super excited about my new collaboration with the ladies from Murray & Finn, a brand new and gorgeously designed store (I might add) in Summit, NJ that just opened up on Maple Street.   This concept store focuses on little ones and maternity wear.  Their children's clothing ranges from 0 - 7 years and as you can see includes an amazing curated selection of toys and accessories for all of those uber-cool kids in our lives.  Their handpicked maternity wear can be worn before, during and after pregnancy.  Next time you're in Summit make sure to stop by and say hello to Amanda and Erica.

*Look out in the next day or two as we announce our in-store Mother's Day Mini Sessions, May 9th and 10th.

sunday suppers | brooklyn, ny

I've been following Sunday Suppers for a few years now and once I saw that Chris Ozer was holding a workshop in the space, I quickly signed up. The gorgeous loft in Williamsburg is the creation of Karen Mordechai who is a photographer and stylist. She started Sunday Suppers which she describes as a class-cooking-dining experience, pairing friends and food. The space and food that she serves is gorgeous as well as delicious. Stay tuned for the the actual photos that I took from the workshop ..

It's no secret that I love design and all things interiors. Imagine my joy when I walked into this beautiful loft in Brooklyn filled to the brim with vintage antiques, furniture, props and gorgeous light. It was love at first sight. I was there for a video workshop and what a day it was. Love the feeling of walking out at the end of a long day knowing it was money and time well spent. Thank you Bri and Angela for a fantastic workshop! Look out for some videos in the future. Can't wait to expand the offerings at Jennifer Lavelle Photography. *Side note: If you have any interiors or a special project you are wanting photographed, please .. let's talk!
