I used to believe that headshots for little kids or young teens would be harder than with adults. Headshots rely primarily on small posing adjustments, and sometimes young children are not known for their ability to sit still (nor should they have to). But what I have pleasantly found out is that kids can’t help […]
How did this happen?! My cousins are somehow seniors in high school, and time is a thief. I grew up in a town called Valparaiso Indiana. I moved away from my home town and all my family in 1998! I have now lived in NY for as long as I lived in Indiana. That’s crazy to […]
Little boys are so fun! A boy mom once told me that when you add boys to the equation, it’s not addition, it’s exponential. They feed off of each other and rile each other up in the best way. Boys playing is a frenetic experience, with lots of movement. So what does that mean for […]
That summer after high school and before the college experience starts may be one of the most exciting times of a young person’s life. I mean, the potential and possibilities of what your life is going to be is endlessly vast! It’s also the perfect time to document who you are as a person with […]
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. […]
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 just love meeting new people through this work, and especially love meeting the young people in these shoots. It’s rejuvenating and reminds me of all the potential in the world. I am also reminded how society can have such a bright future because these young people are the next generation of grown ups. I […]
This was such a fun session for me. First of all, I am an absolute dog person. Love me some puppies – I have two myself and definitely see myself in the future with more space, more time, and many more dogs. I come by it naturally, since at one point my mom had 5 […]
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 […]
