Model Portfolio  Birthday Party for Girls!
Pre-Teen and Teens in Rockland, Westchester, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess
Does your child/teen love to be photographed and dream of becoming a model? If so, then DazzleMe Photography has a great idea for you!  Your professional DazzleMe photographer will visit your home or scenic location for a professional on-location model's photo shoot (just like magazines do!) in Rockland, Westchester, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster or Northern NJ for a professional "Model Photo Shoot" for  your Birthday Child and Guests. Locations can be home and yard, park, gardens, catering venue, indoor or outdoor setting.
See samples on their website link below!

Each child/teen gets a dozen photos taken with up to three outfit and hairstyle changes (you decide) and receives a professional quality Model Comp Sheet of photos from their photo shoot and a Group Photo. Birthday child also receives all of her photos as 5x7 prints for free. Each child's parent or guardian will also receive an information sheet containing modeling information and listings of legitimate modeling agencies and their requirements for child and teen models for fashion and print modeling assignments.  Call DazzleMe Photography at 845.445.1449 or

2010 - Perkins Memorial Drive and Tower Now Open for the Season!
After a long and storm-filled winter, the Perkins Memorial Drive and Tower is now open, weather contingent. Daily hours are 8 AM- 4 PM, Monday through Sunday.  Situated 1,305 feet above the Hudson River, the 360 degree panoramic views from Perkins Tower are spectacular. The observation floor has interpretive displays that describe the distant scenery. Four states (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania) are visible, and the NYC skyline is a dominant feature.  From the tower, one can see an unique view that includes the Bear Mountain Bridge, West Point (United States Military Academy), Storm King Mountain, and historic Fort Montgomery, where Patriots stretched an iron chain across the river to hold back the British navy. For more information, please call the Bear Mountain Office at 845 786 2701 x242.
