Fun Mini Session at Local Park

This family. I can’t get enough of them. I love them so much, and appreciate that they are one of my legacy families. We worked together for the first time three years ago, when their little one was just a baby, and it was love at first sight. This young family is so warm and […]

Long Beach Family Photos

This shoot was so much fun, and one of the easiest ones I have ever done. That’s because Mom and Dad brought along a secret weapon…this very special and secret weapon was the best tool any parents has ever used during a shoot to keep a toddler happy! It worked every time I even pointed […]

Nassau County Fall Family Photos

I have had a few families recently welcome beautiful new additions! One is this little guy, who has the most adorable cheeks for days! Damn you, COVID, for keeping me away from kissing and squeezing those little cheeks 😉 (I am just kidding, I promise I don’t squeeze and kiss the babies I work with!) […]

Big Sister’s Third Birthday

This is the second time this cute little gal and I have gotten to celebrate her birthday with gorgeous photos. But this year was extra special and important, because it was the year she became a big sister to twin little brothers. As you can imagine, twins occupy quite a lot of mom’s time, so […]

Rockville Centre Lifestyle Family Photos

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is getting to hear people’s stories. Being allowed to be in their home with them is an extra-special thing and a true gift. As you see this family of three and they are happy and full of love, you would never know that they have been through […]

Morning Family Photos | Long Beach

There are rarely any takers on the early morning sessions, but when there are, it is the families with little ones. On one hand, it makes sense, because toddlers and babies are early risers! Up until age 12, mine would jump out of bed at 6:30am, because they were ready to go for the day! […]

Family Photos on Lido Beach

As a mother of one boy and one girl, I am always intrigued by the family dynamics of those with other combinations of kiddos. Especially the families with all boys…it is a bundle of energy and fun. I know that my boy is much more active and energetic than my girl, so I always imagine […]

Saying Goodbye to Beach Season, For Now

My favorite season is coming to a close, and we went out with a bang. The gorgeous day of mini sessions at The Ocean Club was just what we needed.  The families were so warm and friendly and it was such a successful day.  In addition to meeting so many lovely people, I got to spend […]

Bucket List Brooklyn Bridge Engagement Photos

Sometimes things come together so well, that it was so clearly meant to be.  I was craving a just-for-me session and had always wanted to photograph a couple on the Brooklyn Bridge.  Yes it’s been done a time or two before, but it’s iconic and I wanted to do it for fun. Really, it never […]

Nassau County Family Photos

You’ve already had photos at a park or two, you are not really beach people, or maybe you just want something a little different?  I got you!  How about a random parking lot under the LIRR in Lynbrook? That is what we did for this adorable and fun family.  Let me mention that this family, […]
