Family Photos at the LIU Post Arboretum

Capturing a family session has many aspects. I always want to allow each member to shine, and also want to collectively capture the family unit and the way they are bonded together. This sweet family was wonderful to work with, and had plenty of smiles to go around. They chose some really great outfits for […]

Bridal Shower at Revel in Garden City

Oprah Winfrey once said, “The more you celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate”.  Well, that is an idea I can get behind! Celebrations are one of my favorite things to photograph here at LRP, and I am always up for a great party! I was asked to document this beautiful […]

And I have to hand it to this hockey-loving family for celebrating gorgeous Miss C with a Sweet Sixteen she will never forget. We did this […]

Boho Cake Smash | New York and Long Island Photographer

The vision was hers, but […]

Because I seek so highly to give […]

Studio Family Portraits | NY and Long Island Photographer

Last year on Black Friday, I ran a special offer where I let people “name their price” for a studio session in January. I got a few takers, including this very smart family that took me up on my offer (I bet you’re regretting not claiming the offer yourself, so stay tuned for more special […]

Classic Long Island Family Photos

I like creating portraits in a few different lighting situations.  Sometimes, I have control over the light but often I don’t.  This is why when you call to book your session, I am very deliberate about what time of day we meet, in order to maximize our time together.  This session for instance, was scheduled […]
