A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah at Cedar Hill Country Club in Livingston NJ. Daniel is a snowboarder and the party had that theme- Louisa Testa did a fantastic job with the centerpieces and party design.
Congratulations to Daniel on a great job- here are some photos from the day!

I photographed Casey & Jen’s wedding over 6 years ago at the Nassau Inn in Princeton, NJ. Last month I was thrilled to return to the Nassau Inn to photograph Jen’s sister Amy’s wedding to Geoff. It was a great day and a great last wedding for 2011 for me. They are a super nice (and photogenic!) young couple and I wish them the best of luck. Here are a few photos from the day:

I had a great time with Simone and her family and am so happy they chose me to photograph her Bat Mitzvah. The party was at the Italian Center in Stamford. Simone had a fashion theme and my extremely talented and creative colleague Susan Freed of Blue 9 Design did an amazing job designing the party.

Rye Family Portrait- Rye Beach

Geoff Tischman — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 02:55:58 +0000

I just had the pleasure of meeting and photographing a great family from town. Our kids went to the same pre-school, Rye United Methodist Nursery School, and they won a family session at the schools carnival silent auction over a year ago. It took a while to schedule it, but i’m glad we finally did. It was a lot of fun and it was great to shoot at the beach in Rye- it was a beautiful night and it was the perfect spot.

Here are a few photos from our session:

5 Cats in Chappaqua – Westchester NY Pet Photographer

Geoff Tischman — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 03:24:15 +0000

A few months back I donated a pet portrait to Cat Assistance NY’s silent auction at their annual fundraising gala. I was delighted when I found out that the winners of the portrait session, Brian & Tanya, have 5 cats. I was looking forward to the challenge of getting photos of 5 cats and after having to reschedule several times due to bad weather, we finally did the shoot a few weeks ago. It was great to finally meet Brian and Tanya after having spoken to and emailed with them for almost 2 months! I also really enjoyed meeting all 5 cats, all of whom were rescued from the city shelters (animal care and control of NYC).
Here are just a couple of the photos I picked out for Brian and Tanya:

Walter is the youngest, and newest addition to the family. He is also the most mischievous!

This is Orange- the shyest of the group but I managed to get a few good shots. This is Hilary- she was found on Clinton St. in Brooklyn hence her name.Maley is a sweet cat, he is named after a sculptor who lived on Martha’s Vineyard. Hilary and Walter going at it!

And last but not least, this is M.E. (which stands for missing ears). She was set on fire by a young boy and as a result she is missing both of her ears. Luckily she survived and found a wonderful home. It’s heartbreaking to me how somone could do this to an innocent cat but it happens all too often. It amazes me how sweet and unafraid she was and how she can be trusting of someone she just met after all she went through.

If you are interested in adopting a cat or in donating and/or volunteering your time to cat rescue- plesase visit Cat Assistance of NY’s website HERE . They a great organization and like all pet rescue groups they could really use the help.

Kittens (and Dogs) Available at SPCA of Westchester, Westchester Pet Photographer

Geoff Tischman — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 03:28:33 +0000

I took my daughter with me to the SPCA of Westchester on Thursday to photograph some dogs and she was thrilled to find lots of kittens to play with when we got there! She loves all cats and dogs but more than anything she loves kittens because she can hold them and also because they are so damn cute! Here are the kittens:
This is Somers: Chalupa was a stray who was obviously well cared for so they are hoping his owners will claim him soon and take him home: Kia is a cutey: Tessa- an older girl whose owners surrendered her because she needed medical attention. She is on medication and doing great- this is a very sweet girl: Tonya: Please contact the SPCA of Westchester for more information about any of these animals. There are more kittens that aren’t photographed here but I am sure they will all go quickly so if you are interested in adopting a kitten call soon!

New Dogs Availalbe at Adopt-A-Dog in Armonk, Westchester, NY Pet Photographer

Last week I visited Adopt-A-Dog in Armonk and met some really amazing new dogs who are up for adoption.
This is Peaches- she is a 9-mo. old puppy and I would love to adopt this dog if I could – just the sweetest dog ever!

I rest my case! Cammie is a 4 mo. old English Setter:

Foxy Brown is adorable: Miss Foxy is a Foxy Brown’s buddy and she is some kind of hound/pit mix perhaps. She is a super cute little girl: Bama is a Cairin Terrier Mix: Bill is timid but very sweet: Merlin: Brian with Lulu- Lulu is a Dutch Sheppherd and a GREAT dog: Angie has 4 puppies at the shelter about 4 weeks old: Angies Pups- cute huh? This is Teddy – a very cool cat hanging in the window: Hoping all these guys get new families soon!

Candy Gets Adopted- Westchester Pet Photography

Geoff Tischman — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 01:06:45 +0000

I often wonder why certain dogs are at a shelter sometimes for years and just keep getting passed over for adoption even though they are really great dogs. Candy is one such dog- she was at Adopt-A-Dog in Armonk for 4 years! She is cute, goofy and sweet and I guess it was just a matter of finding a family that she was a perfect fit with. When I went to the shelter last week to take photos and learned that Candy was adopted to say I was over-joyed would be an understatement!
2 weeks ago when I was at the shelter we took new photos of Candy since her website photos hadn’t been updated in quite a while. I captured a photo of her with her paw up in the air and the new photo caught someone’s eye when they saw it on the Adopt-A-Dog website and they came in to meet her and adopted her! Having good photos really helps get pets adopted and it does help to switch the photos up occasionally as you never know what someone will see in a photo that will attract them to a cat or dog.
Here is the photo of Candy- I really hope she is adjusting to life in her new home _after 4 years in a shelter she really deserves to have a wonderful life with a family who will love and adore her!

Misha’s 2nd Birthday- NYC Event Photographer

Geoff Tischman — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 14:10:26 +0000

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Misha’s 2nd Birthday Party. It seems like only yesterday I was shooting her 1st birthday celebration- time really does fly when you have kids! The party was at Kidville in NYC and they did a great job of keeping the kids (and adults) entertained. You might recognize Misha’s dad Gary from his daily wine video blog Daily Grape or from his many tv appearances as both a wine and social media authority. If you are interested in social media and how it is changing the way people do business today then I highly recommend you visit his website or check out his new book The Thank You Economy.
Now on to some photos from the party:
4 Generations- Misha with her mom, grandma and great grandmother: Music and entertainent by Little Maestros - they did a fantastic job! Misha enjoying the show: Misha and her cousin Max enjoying the cake:Misha with her grandfathers:

Happy birthday Misha and thanks for having me photograph your amazing party!

Last Friday I photographed my first pet fashion show and it was a blast! The fashion was a fundraiser for OPIN (Outreach for Pets in Need of Stamford) and it was a real success. In addition to dogs being fostered by OPIN, there were also a few foster dogs from my favorite Pit Bull Rescue Bully Breed as well as some dogs who came with their owners.
