Bob and Maxine are parents of our good friend Marissa. They hosted a fabulously fun anniversary party at their home in Alpine, NJ complete with a Saturday Night Fever cake and rockin’ oldies band. 

Guests mingled, and later danced by the pool.


With great friends they made while on their Honeymoon!

As always, so heartwarming to see long-lasting love.

A photograph is a physical representation of a fleeting moment, and often shapes our memory of that time. For someone like Michael Jackson, a superstar, his every move- the good, bad and the ugly, were photographed and documented. It has been years and years since the world viewed him in a positive light. Now that he is gone, I want to remember him at his best- before all the allegations, odd behavior, and plastic surgery. I want to remember him as the incredibly talented entertainer that we was.
