I love this out-of-town family who came to the Big City and wanted to schedule a memorable portrait session during their recent NYC visit. With older kids in their 20s, it is still a perfect time for a family session. Not only did they have a great time with me during the shoot…but now they will forever have a visual record of their fun visit to the Big Apple. When traveling - book a portrait session for yourself! Its always worth it!
Congratulations to this amazing, smart, sweet and accomplished young woman who graduates college today. Not only is she graduating early but she played fantastic D1 basketball all throughout college. She's awesome. Her mom and her whole community is so proud of her. And it was such a pleasure to photograph her graduating senior portraits this Spring.
I love when I have quick and authentic connections with my clients. That’s what happened when I met this adorable boy upon first meeting. This was his first ever professional photo session - and he did FANTASTIC! He loved all the attention from me and all the love, cuddles and tickles he received from his parents throughout our time together. And, as an end result, his parents have fantastic portraits to cherish for a lifetime.
When a family decides to move from their beloved Brooklyn home to another city, its so special when they decide to say good-bye by having a farewell family photography session. That’s what this gorgeous family did recently right before they headed west. When you leave…you realize that NYC never leaves you. Its a city that touches your heart deeply. Once a New Yorker always a New Yorker.
If you can’t readily be inside to celebrate a Jewish milestone, as Tim Gunn (of Project Runway fame) famously says “Make It Work”. I love that this family pivoted their bat mitzvah plans and celebrated in a low key but super fun way at a local park….Brooklyn Bridge Park. It was a beautiful day with a gorgeous backdrop. And the most happy bat mitzvah girl celebrating her enormous achievement with dear friends and family. To me, it was perfection.
When you are a single parent, you are rarely photographed with your children. You are absent from your family and children’s own visual history. That’s why it is so important to hire a professional photographer. I, too, have an annual photo session with my children. It is such a gift to have beautiful portraits of my children and I. I cherish all my family portraits and so will you.
Dumbo is filled with cobblestone streets and converted Brooklyn warehouse buildings. It is the backdrop for independent boutiques, high-end restaurants and trendy cafes as well as being the heart of a thriving performance and gallery scene. The north end of Brooklyn Bridge Park features historic Jane’s Carousel as well as picturesque views of the Manhattan skyline. Amongst all of that….there are families who are raising children here in a very unique way. Like this wonderful family who walks past these great NYC vistas every day on the way to their local playground. They work, they play but they always call Dumbo home. What a way to live!
When a family decides to relocate, its a time mixed with so many emotions - excitement for what’s next and tons of nostalgia for all the memories they have created in their family’s early years. This family wanted to say goodbye to Brooklyn with a very sweet and memorable family session beside the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. For years to come, these portraits will give this family big smiles and laughs and remind them of all the love they had for their beloved Brooklyn. And Brooklyn & all their dear Brooklyn friends will be waiting with open arms to have them again. We hope they come back often!
Even fathers & sons need a photo session.
Happy birthday to this dad who wanted to spend his birthday celebrating with his son in front of my camera so that they will have these fun memories to cherish for years to come.
And look what "air" they got!!! You should see the outtakes! What a fun session to photograph and edit!
Whether you are an out-of-town visitor or a local New Yorker, the Brooklyn Bridge is a special landmark that everybody wants to photograph. It is full of character and remains a symbol for both Brooklyn and NYC. This family, too, is full of character - present, active and loving parents, a daughter on the verge of adulthood and a vivacious young daughter who adores everyone in her life. It was an honor to photograph this special family in this very unique lively city that I have called my home for 20 years.
