Best Photographer Gold Win in Best of Essex

There are no words to thank all my amazing supporters who voted and submitted reviews for my boutique photography studio in Montclair, New Jersey!  I was frankly quite shocked and extremely humbled to receive this award for Best Photographer!  As many of you know, I retired my finance career to pursue my photography passion and would have never imagined at that time to achieve all that I’ve gained thus far.  

Thank you also to Suburban Essex Magazine for providing this wonderful platform for not only local businesses to share their stories and services but to highlight and benefit beautiful nonprofits like Casa For Children Of Essex County.

I am planning new projects and collaborations for 2020 and will need to work with many volunteers!  If you’ve taken part or attended one of my prior fundraising exhibits you may recall how empowering and rewarding these experiences can be giving back to our community. If you’re interested in participating, donating or modeling please make sure to keep in touch via social media (Instagram @celestinaando).

I truly LOVE what I do not just photographing but also empowering each client that I work with. I get to produce and create legacy portraits that my clients and their families can proudly display and treasure for years and generations to come. If you have any questions regarding my portrait sessions please don’t hesitate to contact me. I also host and partake in various events, therefore, please ensure to stay in touch either via my email list or again through Instagram.

Thank you again for all your continued support!  Walt Disney once said “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”  Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and wishing you all the best and much courage in 2020!!
