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 […]

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

5 What to Wear Outfits for Mom for Fall

When guiding my amazing clients through what to wear for their portrait sessions, I tell mom to start with herself.  I encourage her to find something that she can move and pick up babies in, she can sit on the ground in, bend over in, and over all move around comfortably in.  I also want […]

Cheerleader Senior Portraits

This stunning high school graduate asked me to take some photos of her in her cheer uniform, and I couldn’t have been more excited! Right after this session, she was going to be turning in her uniform, for the very last time. So, she wanted special portraits to commemorate the four years and many milestones […]

Fine Art Teen Portraits by Long Island Photographer

Kids, kids, kids! They bring my soul such immense joy! Not just because I got to bust out the flower wall (my favorite!), but because they’re just so full of life and excitement and fun. Of course, this beauty made it pretty easy on me, because she is a natural in front of the camera. […]
