Easy and Fun Family Photos in the Front Yard

Location When you have four kids and a dog, easy and fun family photos may just be a must. It turns out, the front yard can be the perfect location. First of all, it was pretty. Green and nicely manicured is always a winner. This was a morning session so the sun was coming up […]

Great Neck Family of Three Portraits on the Beach

I have been so lucky to be the family photographer for this sweet, lovable family for an amazing seven years. Let me say that again; seven years! That’s what made this special, among other things. I met this beautiful young lady when she was just three years old, and it’s become so meaningful to me […]

Headshots for Teenagers with Dreams

I have a few solid color backdrops that I use in my studio here in Oceanside for headshots.  I let the client choose, but what usually happens is that we choose together based what clothes they bring.  Sometime people will show up in what they want to wear and not bring anything else (these people […]

Fine Art Emotive Mom Daughter Portraits

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 […]

Mom, Mom and baby boy Family Photos

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 Kid Headshots Oceanside

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 […]

Howard Beach Couples Engagement Session

Here’s a secret: I don’t chase after wedding jobs. That’s honestly been the thing that’s served me well, because the brides and grooms that do find me are special and unique and they’ve crossed my path on purpose. And this cool couple is exactly that.  First of all, they looked amazing  Have I ever told […]

My Little Cousins are Seniors

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 […]

Sweet and Fun Family Photos in Long Beach NY

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 […]

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. […]
