Funny story, I took these lovely ladies’ photos last year. But what I didn’t know is that baby boy was already with us! He was snug as a bug in mamma’s belly growing getting ready to be loved like crazy. My goodness, he is adorable. You can tell he is doted on and loved 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 […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
After nearly ten years in business, you may be surprised to know I have never done a session at Massapequa Preserve. I have no idea how, because the location is beautiful, picturesque, and filled with little spots for backdrops that are amazing. It even boasts a little tree tunnel, which was colorful when we were […]
