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 […]
Let me tell you, I looked all over Long Island looking for a free-to-the-public place with those beautiful blooming spring trees. No luck. Everything was behind a paywall. So at the last minute we decided to go for Planting Fields Arboretum. And you know what? It was the right decision. That place is stinking gorgeous […]
I never could have imagined how much I would love studio headshot sessions. Now, I LOVE me a pretty backdrop and being right on location. It gives portraits such an easy way about them, but there is something so stunning about a simple and straightforward studio portrait. The nomenclature of headshot really doesn’t do these […]
Uh, can we talk about the jeans, please? Never did I think that I would see the day that the jeans I wore in the 90s would be fashionable again. But here they are! Oversized, stone washed, and torn to shreds. They’re pretty much everywhere, and this girl rocks them. I just love the way […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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!) […]
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 […]
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 […]
