What a charming 3 year old - those warm brown eyes and that quick smile. His parents are in love with him and I can easily see why.













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!
Dumbo is filled with cobblestone streets and converted Brooklyn warehouse buildings. It is the backdrop for independent boutiques, high-end restaurants and trendy cafes as well as being the heart of a thriving performance and gallery scene. The north end of Brooklyn Bridge Park features historic Jane’s Carousel as well as picturesque views of the Manhattan skyline. Amongst all of that….there are families who are raising children here in a very unique way. Like this wonderful family who walks past these great NYC vistas every day on the way to their local playground. They work, they play but they always call Dumbo home. What a way to live!
When a former client of mine from DC found herself pod-ing up with her family for a number of weeks in East Hampton - she thought of me to capture not only this unique time in their lives when all their extended family were living together under one roof but also to celebrate her 3rd pregnancy (she has since now given birth!) and the birth of her sister-in-law's first child. I was more than happy to drive out for the day to capture all the smiles, laughter and the boys running on the grounds of this most beautiful home that has been part of their family for multiple generations.
I’m so glad the timing worked out so great! This session put a big smile on my face!
Cobble Hill is a wonderful neighborhood to photograph in. Its full of character - the gorgeous brownstones, iron gates, blooming flowers, greenery and countless families. This family, in particular, is an integral part of my Brooklyn life and community. I met them over 8 years ago when I moved into their apartment building. My children has grown up with their child - our families, with others, getting together for special occasions, BBQs and Superbowl parties. They are kind, caring and loving. Its a better world with them in it.
Its a funny thing when you have known someone since high school and then 25 years later - their oldest child is a freshman at that same high school. That’s the situation I found myself to much amusement. Are we that old already? Really? Thankfully we are that much wiser and with a whole lot of character and life experienced. For this fantastic woman and mom, she has a wonderful marriage to a true partner and 3 children to be proud of. She is living the fabulous life filled with love, connection and adventure. She has so much to be thankful for.
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.
