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, […]

5 What to Wear Outfits for Mom for Fall

When guiding my amazing clients through what to wear for their portrait sessions, I tell mom to start with herself.  I encourage her to find something that she can move and pick up babies in, she can sit on the ground in, bend over in, and over all move around comfortably in.  I also want […]

High School Senior Beach Photos

She’s finally a senior! What an interesting/challenging year of high school it has been. It’s usually the year that you have the most fun with the best friends and work the hardest planning the following year. This gorgeous young lady is balancing school, a job, her acrobatic cheer team, and applying to the colleges of […]

Fancy Beach Photos

My goodness. Another family’s plans for a bat mitzvah was cancelled due to COVID. When will it end?! As Ross on F.R.I.E.N.D.S reminded us, we “piv-ot!” This was not the original plan, but mom sure did her thing, and after all the many months she spent planning were cancelled last minute, she planned a brand […]

Beach Club Family Photos

If there was a formula for a perfect family session (don’t we all wish!), it would probably go something like this: First, get the perfect morning session on the beach with a picturesque grassy sand dune. Then, add in the most gorgeous light, peeking right over the dune, and lastly, add in an adorable family […]

Breezy Point Family Photos

One of my greatest joys is getting to know my client families, and it is one of my favorite parts of being a photographer. These are people who I provably wouldn’t have crossed paths with if it weren’t for my camera, but I am so glad that I get to hear their stories. The other […]
