Oceanside NY Senior Photos

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 […]

Grown-Up Kids and Parents Family Photos in Central Park

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. […]

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 […]

Family Photos at Planting Fields Arboretum

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 […]

Teen Guy Headshots Long Island

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 […]

Pet Portraits on the Beach

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 […]

Teen Headshots in the Long Island and NYC area

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 […]

Dance Competition Headshots

Kids these days are somethin’ else. I mean, they are freaking amazing. The love of dedication that this generation has is truly above and beyond. When they find something they love, they give their whole selves to it. I see this often in clients who play soccer, Lacrosse, or piano, or who are pursuing their […]

Kids Headshots with Personality | Long Island and NYC

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 […]

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 […]
