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 […]

Teenage Brother and Sister Photos | New York Sibling Photos

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 […]

Formal Studio Portraits

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 […]

February 2022: What to Wear for your Portrait Session

One of my goals for 2022 is to become more involved in the what to wear process.  It’s an important part of the success of the final product. From how you feel to the use of color, the clothes have a massive impact on your confidence and first impressions. First and foremost you must feel […]

Hempstead Lake State Park Family Photos

I cannot with this family.  Mom is gorgeous, dad is handsome, and the boys are little models!  I barely even deserve any credit for making these photos so great, because they just ooze charm and glam.  Those young men are such charmers.  They always have fun ideas for us.  I love it when kids want […]

Madison Square Park and the Flat Iron Building Family Photos

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 […]
