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 […]

Saying Goodbye to Beach Season, For Now

My favorite season is coming to a close, and we went out with a bang. The gorgeous day of mini sessions at The Ocean Club was just what we needed.  The families were so warm and friendly and it was such a successful day.  In addition to meeting so many lovely people, I got to spend […]

Bucket List Brooklyn Bridge Engagement Photos

Sometimes things come together so well, that it was so clearly meant to be.  I was craving a just-for-me session and had always wanted to photograph a couple on the Brooklyn Bridge.  Yes it’s been done a time or two before, but it’s iconic and I wanted to do it for fun. Really, it never […]

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 […]

Big Move?

I know that many of you have caught wind that my family and I were trying to move out of state this summer.  Weeellll, things did not go according to plan and I am still here. I was so excited about this move.  My oldest is going off to college in a couple of weeks […]

All White Beach Family Photos

Let me be honest with you for a moment: I usually try to talk people out of everyone wearing white for their family beach session. It brings back memories of 1990’s denim and white photos, that now look dated, and the sun reflects off pure white clothing, which makes it glaring sometimes. I recommend a […]

Special Occasion Family Portraits at the Bailey Arboretum

Well, after months and months of elastic waist pants, old tee-shirts and bedroom slippers, I think we are all ready to get dressed up and feel a little glamorous, right? There is not a better occasion to celebrate with family than a bat mitzvah, and this family has been anticipating this day for many months. […]

Fourteen Year Old Guy Portraits

When you first have children, you assume you will love your own children to pieces, but what no one tells you about becoming a mother or a part of a parenting community, is how much love you will have for the other children in your life as well. I have been so lucky to watch […]
