It’s been over 2 weeks that I’m back and I’ve jumped right back into work, non stop. Before I post some fun photos from some recent sessions I want to share a couple more photo collages from my Israel trip. Bat Ayin is a beautiful oasis just at the edge of Jerusalem, graffiti in and around Jerusalem, Eilat, Jeeping, it was all a dream come true. Of course visiting the Military base was very special, the soldiers were so appreciative of our support.
I scheduled a couple of photo sessions while here in Jerusalem. These adorable kids were visiting from NY. We met in the Old City and used the arches and narrow streets as a backdrop.
We’ve been dreaming this trip for a while – we planned, researched and asked anyone who would give me the time of day for ideas and suggestions. Now that we’ve been here over 2 weeks I can say that the experience has been beyond our wildest dreams. Our apartment was rented via www.myjerusalemapartments.com and we uploaded the Israel map onto our GPS and at this point I can say we have been from tip to tip, from the border of Egypt in the South -Eilat to the border of Lebonon in the north- Galil. Shopping at the shuk, walking the tunnels, dipping our toes into the waters, we are truly living & breathing Israel. At one very scary moment, we drove through the Negev – desert, over one hour up and down the edges of the desert mountains, not a car insight until a group of military jeeps arrive head-on speeding down towards us – the only time our GPS led us wrong, but now we can say we have a new respect for the desert too.
For more photos and updates on my trip, friend me on facebook.
Until next time –
Shalom!
Last time I got together with this troupe I was treated to Iced Coffee. See how they’ve grown and now there is a new addition! This time I was treated to a gorgeous tray filled with cookies, decorated as airplanes and a message of ‘Bon Voyage’ on each of them – not only did they look great – they were also yummy – thank you!!
This was my last session before I leave for a month long vacation with my family. We are leaving to Israel today. This is something we’ve been planning for a long time – it’s hard to believe it’s finally happening.
I am currently booking sessions from July 27th and on. The studio will be operating on vacation schedule. Please email me (above link or dini@dinigroner.com) for best correspondence, I will be returning emails with 72 hours. I will also keep this blog updated with my adventures – stay tuned!
The Petite Session were a great hit. I enjoyed them so much I’m adding an another Petite Session and they are already starting to fill up. Friday, August 27 – RSVP before they fill up! As you can see the Petite Session are not a compromise on creativity.
Here are a just a few of the over one dozen appointments from Friday.
Please note that the studio will be closed from June 27- July 25. I will be answering emails and voice mails during that time. If you are considering booking a session for August, call me ASAP to RSVP. While I’m away I plan to post photos and updates on my travels in Israel with my family, so stay tuned and visit the blog often.
Not wanting to crease his tie Yitzchok put it on at the session. Not bad for a 13 yr old, no mirror in sight he got it straight on!
A couple of fun and beautiful photos from recent sessions.
This troop was comedy central throughout the session. The guys in this posse were protesting a 40×60 canvas that went up 2 years ago of their lil’ sista. Now they are demanding just as big billing from this session. That’ll mean building an extension….
A couple of months ago I posted these images of my son putting on his Tefillin for the first time. Well that was just practice. Yesterday we celebrated his big day. It was an emotional and beautiful affair. Stacey Betsalel, my party planner worked on all the details, making his day perfect. Delicious food from Ave R Cafe, music by Yehuda Piamenta, a candy table, dessert table, ice cream bar, chocolate fountain and a delicious buffet that included sushi, cheese tray, focaccia with armenian string cheese – just delish! Best of all the day was recorded on camera by Chaya Tenenbaum of Los Angeles and video by Detti Siklos of NY.
Here are a couple courtesy of Chaya Tenenbaum.
