Today She Is A College Graduate - Brooklyn Portrait Photographer

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.

A Star of the Family - Brooklyn Family Photographer

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.

Family Fun in Huntley Meadows Park - NYC Family Photographer

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!

A milestone birthday - Brooklyn Event Photographer

When a Jewish boy turns 13, a loving community comes together to celebrate the child becoming a bar mitzvah. It was so nice to see the smiles and laughs of this accomplished young man as he celebrated accomplishing this milestone amongst his proud parents, adoring relatives and close friends.

Family Love in Washington Heights - NYC Family Photographer

It’s so nice to connect with a family and grow along with them. I have been photographing these two precious boys since they were born. Every year, our photography session captures their newest stage in their childhood. Years from now, their parents will have so many beautiful visual memories of these special time in their lives.

Brotherly love in Brooklyn Park - Brooklyn Family Photographer

As a mom to two boys, I love witnessing the love and play between brothers! This duo love each other dearly and are thick as thieves. Their parents wouldn’t have it any other way.

When a Brooklyn family moves to Westchester - NYC Family Photographer

Even if a family moves out of their NYC neighborhood….doesn’t mean they need to find a new family photographer. I have photographed this fun family for every Fall for YEARS and just over last summer, they decided to make the jump and move to an adorable river town in Westchester. It was so much fun to travel up to them and to photograph all their happiness in their new version of family life. Can’t wait to what next year brings!

Family Smiles + Love in the North Fork, Long Island - NYC Family Photographer

I love when my Brooklyn Families travel and I meet up with them in a new location. That’s what happened with these long-term family clients of mine. So much to discover the North Fork more through my camera lens. And from the results…they had some fun with me too!

Family Fun in St. Nicholas Park, Harlem - NYC Family Photographer

I have photographed this lovely + fun family in the Fall every year. It is so nice to see the growth and development of these spunky kids year to year. What a joy to be a witness to it all. And its an extra bonus that I’ve known their dad since high school!

To Brooklyn With Love - Brooklyn Family Photographer

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.

Let's Dance in Celebration - NYC Event Photographer

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.

Brothers - Family Portrait Photographer

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.
