People often think that family photos are just for young families with little kids. Every once in awhile, however, I get a call from some grown-up kids who want to gift portraits to their parents. I absolutely love when this happens, because it gives me all the warm and fuzzy feelings about being a parent. […]
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 […]
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 […]

I have had a few families recently welcome beautiful new additions! One is this little guy, who has the most adorable cheeks for days!
