Demarest Mother Aims To Inspire Others In Quest For Better Health
DEMAREST, N.J. — A 2012 transition from corporate life to parenthood is what Demarest mother Xiomara Gallego Bernard said set her on the path to getting back in shape. Bernard quit her full-time job to be home with her son but sank deeper into a depression each day.

LOS ANGELES, C.A. — It's been Marina Pellicciari's dream to see a Los Angeles Lakers game.

RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — Christie Adams described falling in love with photographing young children in her E. Ridgewood Avenue studio the way parents do with their newborn babies: naturally, quickly and easily. Adams, of Wyckoff, worked as a graphic designer in New York City at several art and design studios in the early 2000s, reserving photography as a hobby.
