Moms are our tireless and selfless champions. They are the emotional backbones of our families and communities. Their love is unconditional. They are our 1st teachers…they give us guidance, hope and a sense of safety. A mother’s place is irreplaceable in every stage of our lives.
Mothers deserve to be celebrated. Frame-worthy family portraits is the perfect way to honor our mothers…a gift the gives back.
Sometimes its nice to take family portraits right in your own “backyard”. That’s what this family did when they suggested Brooklyn Heights as their special location. We photographed on their quaint brownstone-filled street and walked a block away to capture the beauty of the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Brooklyn is the BEST!
I love photographing the same families year after year. It’s like we grow up together….my business matures and so do my clients’ kids. And when they move from Manhattan or Brooklyn to the suburbs - I hope that our relationship continues on. Luckily that is what happened with this awesome family. I have photographed them for almost 10 years. So when they moved from Brooklyn to a charming NJ suburb - they did not hesitate to call me for their next family portrait session. And I did not hesitate to make a visit to their new home. These are my people and I am forever grateful!
When my client reached out to me to book a special portrait session as a gift to herself….I was SO excited. This session was all about love of FASHION with a capital F. And, of course, celebrating a very special birthday - 50 years young. Wow, wow, wow! I love portrait sessions like these!

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 always love photographing in my hometown of DC. And to photograph in the famous Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral - it is always memorable. And with this fantastic family, the experience was a total home run! Sweetness, sister love, fun and memories made. You can’t ask for anything better!
When I lived in Washington, DC in the late 2000s, I discovered and learned to adore Huntley Meadows Park located in Alexandria, VA. When this Northern Virginia family told me that they wanted to meet me there for their family session, I jumped at the chance. It has boardwalks, meadows, lush greenery and low-key hiking trails. And with this crew, we had an absolute blast!
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.
There’s nothing like brothers. One moment they are jumping on each other…wrestling each other to the ground. The next moment they are hugging on each other, laughing and smiling…and maybe threatening each other with wedgies. If they get in a fight, they surely get over it quickly. I have photographed this brother duo for over 5 years and they have always been consistent with how they show their love for one another. I hope they hold onto this intense relationship into adulthood. It makes me smile for sure.
This past 18 months have been tough on all of us. But when I see a couple transitioning into their next phase of life - when they decide to grow a family - I know there is hope and love for all of us in the future. That's what happened when I met this wonderful couple. They can't wait to meet their sweet bundle of joy in a few weeks. And I know that there will be much more love and happiness in the world because of him and the lovely life they will create as a family!
In most parts of the country, seniors celebrate this graduation milestone by having their Senior Portraits taken. It is a tradition year after year with each passing graduating class. Its a perfect way to memorialize this transition from high school teenager into young adult.
More than ever, it is important because in such an isolating year dominated by all things Covid, Senior Portraits are the best way to document a graduating senior’s journey so far and to celebrate it. It is the best time of their life to capture their youthful innocence and their unique personality. This portrait session also gives the senior dedicated time to feel special while the photo experience and portraits will increase their self-esteem and confidence.
The senior and their family will be able to look back on these important portraits with pride as they see visual evidence of how significant they were at this pivotal moment in their lives.
