Celebrating Mothers - Brooklyn Portrait Photographer

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.

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!

One of My Favorite Families move to NJ - NYC Family Portrait Photographer

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!

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!

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.

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.

A Family Expands - NYC Maternity and Family Photographer

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!

A fond farewell to Brooklyn - NYC Portrait Photographer

When this family decided to relocate back to Europe, they wanted to commemorate their special time in Brooklyn with a memorable family photo session. These portraits capture the neighborhood they grew to love, the memories they created and the unique time in their lives. What a wonderful visual memory to have forever and look at fondly.

Even Photographers Need to Hire a Family Photographer - NYC Family Photographer

I’ve known this woman, a fellow photographer, for years. She’s been photographing portraits professional but, like all busy professionals, she has rarely gotten her own family (with herself included) captured. Now, a mother of 3, she got emotional when she saw her newest family portraits for the first time. Through seeing these portraits, it really hit her that she was a mom (for real!)…and these precious 3 kids’ mom. Now, she can proudly display her family portraits around her home that showcase their entire happy family. For this, she is forever grateful.
