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.

When a Brooklyn family moves to Westchester - NYC Family Photographer

Even if a family moves out of their NYC neighborhood….doesn’t mean they need to find a new family photographer. I have photographed this fun family for every Fall for YEARS and just over last summer, they decided to make the jump and move to an adorable river town in Westchester. It was so much fun to travel up to them and to photograph all their happiness in their new version of family life. Can’t wait to what next year brings!

Family Smiles + Love in the North Fork, Long Island - NYC Family Photographer

I love when my Brooklyn Families travel and I meet up with them in a new location. That’s what happened with these long-term family clients of mine. So much to discover the North Fork more through my camera lens. And from the results…they had some fun with me too!

Family Fun in St. Nicholas Park, Harlem - NYC Family Photographer

I have photographed this lovely + fun family in the Fall every year. It is so nice to see the growth and development of these spunky kids year to year. What a joy to be a witness to it all. And its an extra bonus that I’ve known their dad since high school!

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.

Brothers - Family Portrait Photographer

There’s nothing like brothers. One moment they are jumping on each other…wrestling each other to the ground. The next moment they are hugging on each other, laughing and smiling…and maybe threatening each other with wedgies. If they get in a fight, they surely get over it quickly. I have photographed this brother duo for over 5 years and they have always been consistent with how they show their love for one another. I hope they hold onto this intense relationship into adulthood. It makes me smile for sure.

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.

Professional Movement even in Covid - NYC Headshot Photographer

Careers do go on even in a global pandemic.

People are getting new jobs, launching new projects, creating new businesses and strengthening their job roles to make this year a success despite the hardships that we have experienced.

What is one of the best marketing essentials that is fantastic for be taken seriously in the professional world? A new professional headshot of course!

Remember - you only have one chance to make a first impression. Having polished professional headshots ARE that important!

A family of 3 becomes 4 - NYC Family Photographer

I love when a family expands by welcoming a new and precious baby into their home. Now with 2 daughters, this mom and dad are so very grateful. They know that they are creating such a fulfilling and fantastic life together as a proud family of 4!  And you really can't beat those smiles!

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!

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!
