Teenage Brother and Sister Photos | New York Sibling Photos
Well, they may be hard to get in front of the camera, but getting your teens in the photos is so important. I admit, I struggle with this myself. My eighteen year old won’t let me take her photo unless she has full hair and makeup (insert major eye roll), and my fifteen year old […]
Formal Studio Portraits
This shoot was a bit of a departure for me, but man, I sure love it! It felt good to do something different that stretched me creatively, and make this mom’s dramatic vision come to life. On a technical level, to get the images to be both dramatic but still maintain a softness, I had to […]

It even boasts a little tree tunnel, which was colorful when we were […]

Hempstead Lake State Park Family Photos
I cannot with this family. Mom is gorgeous, dad is handsome, and the boys are little models! I barely even deserve any credit for making these photos so great, because they just ooze charm and glam. Those young men are such charmers. They always have fun ideas for us. I love it when kids want […]
Madison Square Park and the Flat Iron Building Family Photos
Do I ever get tired of shooting photos in the city? Nope. I am always fully reminded that I am a mid-west girl from Indiana when I work in the city. The wonder of it all never wears off! I particularly love Madison Square Park because, well, the Flat Iron Building becomes a backdrop. That’s pretty […]
