Celebrating A Special Graduation - NYC Portrait Photographer

A graduation is such a major accomplishment. And having graduation portraits is a lovely way to record this momentous event and to celebrate! That’s what this accomplished law school graduate gifted to herself….visual memories that she can look back on forever with such pride. I can’t wait to see her blossom in her future law career and life. The best is yet to come for her!

Bar Mitzvah Celebration Oh My! - Brooklyn Event Photographer

In the Jewish faith, the age of 13 is a milestone. Its a time of transition from childhood to adolescence and adulthood. For this family, turning 13 is a time to celebrate their son in the most special way…surrounded by family and joy. Congratulations Max! You made everyone proud.

Brooklyn Heights + Family Fun - Brooklyn Family Photographer

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!

A Special Courthouse Wedding - Brooklyn Portrait Photographer

When a friend decides to have an impromptu wedding, you show up! That’s what I did when I photographed this great couple on their special wedding day. No better way to celebrate Brooklyn then to have a downtown Brooklyn wedding! Love ya Kelly + Sean!

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.

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.

Embrace your 40s ladies! - NYC Portrait Photographer

I can't get enough of this fabulous session! This is just some of the fantastic highlights but there are so many more portraits that I adore! This session was SO very special to me....particularly because I just turned 43. The 40s is a decade to embrace...its when you are truly learning who you are, its when you have some important life experiences under your belt and its when your life seems pretty full. This absolutely stunning woman exemplifies the beauty of who she is both inside and out. She is an amazing woman, friend, lawyer and wife. She is an especially fantastic role model for her twins - 6 year old son and daughter.

Embrace your 40s ladies! It will be a fabulous decade for all of us! Our natural beauty and character deepen. I'm ready for it with open arms!

Love & Family at the Brooklyn Bridge - Brooklyn Family Photographer

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.
