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. […]

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 […]

Pet Portraits on the Beach

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 […]

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 […]

Madison Square Park and the Flat Iron Building Family Photos

I particularly love Madison Square Park because, well, the Flat Iron Building becomes a backdrop.  That’s pretty […]

Fun Mini Session at Local Park

This family. I can’t get enough of them. I love them so much, and appreciate that they are one of my legacy families. We worked together for the first time three years ago, when their little one was just a baby, and it was love at first sight. This young family is so warm and […]

Rockville Centre Lifestyle Family Photos

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is getting to hear people’s stories. Being allowed to be in their home with them is an extra-special thing and a true gift. As you see this family of three and they are happy and full of love, you would never know that they have been through […]

Fancy Beach Photos

My goodness. Another family’s plans for a bat mitzvah was cancelled due to COVID. When will it end?! As Ross on F.R.I.E.N.D.S reminded us, we “piv-ot!” This was not the original plan, but mom sure did her thing, and after all the many months she spent planning were cancelled last minute, she planned a brand […]
