Little boys. Need I say more? Whether they are being sweet and cuddly, or running around with wild abandon, little boys kinda-always steal my heart during their sessions. They never fail to bring the energy and fun to a shoot, and when there is more than one? Forget about it, and let’s have some fun! […]
Well, I have been in this game for over a decade now. One of the primary reasons that I still approach it with enthusiasm is because I continue to try to evolve and approach every portrait in a brand new way. I love pushing myself to try new techniques and ideas and bring a freshness […]
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 […]
An online presence is so important for every kind of business these days. Social media is how your potential clientele get to know you before they decide to hire you or purchase your product. It’s an opportunity to connect and start building a relationship before you even meet in person. For instance, Dr. Brenner has […]
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.
