February 2022: What to Wear for your Portrait Session

One of my goals for 2022 is to become more involved in the what to wear process.  It’s an important part of the success of the final product. From how you feel to the use of color, the clothes have a massive impact on your confidence and first impressions. First and foremost you must feel […]

Hempstead Lake State Park Family Photos

I cannot with this family.  Mom is gorgeous, dad is handsome, and the boys are little models!  I barely even deserve any credit for making these photos so great, because they just ooze charm and glam.  Those young men are such charmers.  They always have fun ideas for us.  I love it when kids want […]

Madison Square Park and the Flat Iron Building Family Photos

Do I ever get tired of shooting photos in the city? Nope. I am always fully reminded that I am a mid-west girl from Indiana when I work in the city.  The wonder of it all never wears off! 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 […]

Long Beach Family Photos

This shoot was so much fun, and one of the easiest ones I have ever done. That’s because Mom and Dad brought along a secret weapon…this very special and secret weapon was the best tool any parents has ever used during a shoot to keep a toddler happy! It worked every time I even pointed […]

Nassau County Fall Family Photos

I have had a few families recently welcome beautiful new additions! One is this little guy, who has the most adorable cheeks for days! Damn you, COVID, for keeping me away from kissing and squeezing those little cheeks 😉 (I am just kidding, I promise I don’t squeeze and kiss the babies I work with!) […]

Big Sister’s Third Birthday

This is the second time this cute little gal and I have gotten to celebrate her birthday with gorgeous photos. But this year was extra special and important, because it was the year she became a big sister to twin little brothers. As you can imagine, twins occupy quite a lot of mom’s time, so […]

Morning Family Photos | Long Beach

There are rarely any takers on the early morning sessions, but when there are, it is the families with little ones. On one hand, it makes sense, because toddlers and babies are early risers! Up until age 12, mine would jump out of bed at 6:30am, because they were ready to go for the day! […]

Family Photos on Lido Beach

As a mother of one boy and one girl, I am always intrigued by the family dynamics of those with other combinations of kiddos. Especially the families with all boys…it is a bundle of energy and fun. I know that my boy is much more active and energetic than my girl, so I always imagine […]
