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 time to celebrate - Brooklyn Event Photographer

Its always a time to celebrate…especially major milestones like a bar and bat mitzvah. With Covid, I have gotten to photograph some amazing alternative bar/bat mitzvahs. Although they were smaller than originally planned, they were intimate and full of love. And so very memorable.

More Than Your Typical Headshot - Brooklyn Portrait Photographer

This woman is FABULOUS both inside and out. 35 years of friendship and decades of memories to make in our future.

It was such a joy to photograph her during her recent visit. She radiants here.

This is 45 at its finest!

Why are Senior Portraits for High School Graduates So Important - Brooklyn Portrait Photographer

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.

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.

Boys, Boys, Boys - NYC Family Photographer

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.

Fun in Red Hook - Brooklyn Portrait Photographer

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!
