Happy Post Chanukah and Happy New Year 2009!

For those of you getting this newsletter for this first time, Welcome! Its great to have you with us. A friend of yours may have recommended you to this list. This is the email newsletter/blog of Natural Light Photography Studio in Flatbush. We send out a newsletter once a month with photos from that month’s shoots –( so you can scroll down and see if you recognize some faces!) and we chat a little bit. If you want more information or to see more photos, please visit the website at http://www.avivarandphotography.com/ and if you don’t want to receive this email, its no problem at all- just replay with a quick message to unsubscribe and it’ll be taken care of right away.

I Hope you all had a nice Chanukah - good parties, good food, good company, (good presents). Myself, I look forward to the Chanukah parties- with the kids on the floor tangled up in wrapping paper and the adults getting a chance to mingle… we had a really beautiful family party this year.

A lot of my customers blew up portraits of the grandkids and gave them as gifts to their parents and in laws. Great idea, imho. I can't post all of them here, but I choose a few for you to see. I think you’ll agree that there are some very special families. One lovely family invited me to come down to their party to photograph their entire extended family. They asked to keep their photos private, but I had a fantastic time getting to know them and their adorable kids (from 3 months to 4 years).

The website has been updated – new photos added to the galleries and.. the Designer Collection is up! Well, partially. This collection features luxurious velvet backdrops in a variety of designs and they’re absolutely stunning. I print them on gorgeous canvas, and mount them on sturdy masonite for easy framing. They're available in all wall portrait sizes 11x14 and up. I have new designer backdrops coming in monthly so if you're looking for something truly unique… look no further. I posted a few samples below as well.

I’m also doing wall collections now. Just let me know the dimensions of your wall and I will design a collage of photos in various sizes to fit. I included one idea below for you to see…

Thank you all again for your comments, I read every one of them and appreciate it. Special thanks to Y.L.for the helpful advice, especially on the BCC.

Happy viewing!



This gorgeous 3 month old came to us for her first baby portraits. Can you figure out who her big sister is?
Yes, if I was wearing this outfit, I'd want to play with it too! It's that beautiful!

Can't figure it out? Her "big" sister is the baby with her feet up in ballet slippers on the opening page of my website. Mazal Tov Galls!


This little princess came along after 5 boys, can you believe that? What a long-awaited bracha!



Did you ever? I could eat this face up!




Kayla was definitely my only 3 week old that smiled for her portrait.


We did a gorgeous gallery wrap of this for over the baby's crib. Mazal Tov Levitans!



Adorable Shmuli is having his first haircut this month - and he's the first to try out my new black armchair!


Mommy and Tatty, make sure you keep a lock of this hair - its incredible!


Shmulie's thinking..Okay, so should I go for the winkies now or the ices later?



Mazal Tov Edelsteins! You should have only nachas from Shmulie and your other children!




I had a blast with these girls! Their little brother came two years ago for his upsherin pictures. For this shoot, the girls dressed in authentic ballerina costumes and we did magnificent ballet poses with the two girls to hang in the girls' room. I can't post them here, but at least you can see the outdoor ones...



...which are going to hang right next to little Avromie's portrait. I had a great time, girls!



Here are a couple of samples from the Designer Collection. (This one's the green - my personal favorite).





And Designer Black...







And finally, my favorite, fabulous five! These guys have honored me with taking their portrait more than a few times already and its only a joy.



Avi's the big boy, my helper. He's a great piano player, too. :)



Sruli's a natural - photographs like a dream. I never have to tell him what to do.


Can't this face speak for itself? Rachelli's my star.


Ahh.. the angelic one... so well-behaved, so cooperative.. Oh, I actually meant someone else. But we love Moshe.



And finally, baby Tzvi. (Not my baby Tzvi- this one's walking). Tzvi wasn't so thrilled with the whole sitting still, not moving thing, but we managed to capture a few winners.



This is the wall collection I told you about. In this one, the 20x30 is the center, with the vertical 8x10's completing one side, and the three horizontal 8x10's completing the other. You buy matching frames for all of them - and you have a wall collection!
