13 and a celebration to remember!






















































































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.
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.
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.
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.
When you are a family photographer, its wonderful to grow alongside your clients. When I first started to photograph this family, the youngest son was a newborn. Now, 7 years later - this family is high energy and is willing to try anything. One of my super fun families that I am lucky to photograph!
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!
