Lena Antaramian is a good friend of mine and has launched her own Photography business: http://livelovelaughphotos.com/.

From her site “For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for photography. On my world travels and adventures I have taken thousands of pictures of landscapes and citiscapes – covering 36 countries on all six continents. But always, my favorite subjects were people. From Buddhist monks in Bhutan, to native Himba of Namibia, to a smiling groom closer to home. After my twin daughters were born, I turned my passion into a career and now I do what I love to do – capture moments of life, love and laughter!”

Lena and Victor have been friends of mine a long time and in 2005 they took a couple of days off, 102 to be exact and circumvented the globe. Phileas Fogg did it in 80 so poor planning on their part I guess. You can checkout their odyssey on their blog:

If you have needs for photography in the tri-state area, I highly recommend Lena’s Live Love and Laugh service.
