Birthday Studio Portraits Long Island
Listen, sometimes you just need to put on a pink fairy dress and lay in a bed of flowers, ok? A girl after my own heart! She and I are on the same wavelength. It was her birthday, and mom wanted to do something fun to celebrate her as well as document who she is […]
Studio Portraits for Sixteenth Birthday
It’s so very important to take time to acknowledge and celebrate life as it happens. I have a very distinct memory of being somewhere when I was 16 and an “older” lady ( she was probably younger then than I am now) going on about enjoying your youth and being happy because time passes and then […]
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 […]
Birthday Photoshoot: Happy 30th!
You know what I love? When strong, empowered women celebrate themselves, for any reason! It’s so easy to forget to high five ourselves and give ourselves a shout out for any little or big thing. Girls, please remember how great you are outside of being a daughter, a mom, a friend, a wife, an employee, a […]
Little Family Trio at the Park
There is something happy and content about a bustling young family. They have energy and joy, and are excited about the future. I get such joy watching mom and dad dote on their little girl, and I remember well that feeling of purpose and wonder that comes with loving a sweet baby that changes your […]
Sweet Sixteen Session
I have a very vivid memory of when I turned sixteen, and a random lady I met told me to, “Enjoy being sixteen, because you’ll be forty before you know it”. I remember thinking that was such a cheesy, cliche thing to say. Cheesy or not, now I know that the well-meaning lady was totally […]
40th Birthday? No problem!
Turning 40 is something a lot of people joke about. They call it going “over the hill”, and act like it is something terrible. But this gorgeous lady wanted to turn it into a POSITIVE, and show off some serious self-love. This amazing lady is hitting that big 4-0 milestone, and she is thrilled! This […]
Peter Pan First Birthday at The Loft at Bridgeview
“When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.” ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan My kids first birthday parties consisted of a home-made cake by me, and some family members coming over to our house! […]
Sweet Sixteen at Madison Square Garden
The venue certainly isn’t the most important aspect to a great party (it’s really about the guests and the reason you’re there!), but damn, a great one doesn’t hurt! And I have to hand it to this hockey-loving family for celebrating gorgeous Miss C with a Sweet Sixteen she will never forget. We did this […]
