Patience… | Newborn Photographer | New York City, NY

16 comments

I’m not gonna lie…this could’ve been my most challenging newborn to date.  He did NOT want to go to sleep or stay asleep.  Could’ve been because he was past the two week mark; could’ve been he was overtired;  could’ve been he was nervous about his debut photo shoot.  Whatever the reason…you’re totally forgiven, buddy!   Good things come to those who wait…and I’d say our patience paid off.  He is an absolute beauty…   Thanks for hanging in there mom and dad!

The Magic of LBI… | Beach Photographer | Long Beach Island, NJ

12 comments

I am so happy and excited to be doing summer beach sessions at LBI again this year!!  It’s one of my favorite places on earth!

On the day of this session, it was beautiful and sunny.  Then all of a sudden, right before our scheduled time, the clouds came rolling in and next thing you know it was POURING.   An hour later, sunshine!  It just goes to show that it pays to roll with the weather…    This family was so sweet and I could tell from talking to mom that LBI is as magical a place for her as it is for me.  We both spent summers here as kids and now we’re creating special memories with our own children.  When she asked me to capture some special beach moments of her family, I knew how much this session meant to her.   I hope I’ve captured some of the magic of LBI for you guys..more to come!

Three Cheers for the Red, White & Blue… | Children’s Photographer | Wyckoff, New Jersey

6 comments

We’re starting to celebrate Memorial Day early with some red, white and blue!   You may remember this little guy from a session I did with him in February when he was just 3 months old.   This time, I had the extreme pleasure of meeting his adorable sister and brother so we could get the three of them together.  And how cute are they???  They were great models, too.  Easy to joke around with and make laugh, although I did have to enlist big sister to get her baby brother to smile for us one last time at the end of the session…I think it worked!

Baby brother… | Children’s Photographer | Ridgewood, New Jersey

My first day back from a week long photography workshop (amazing, btw), and although I could’ve used a rest, I was very inspired and ready to get back to work.  I got a last minute call from this family to photograph their newborn…  He is an absolute beauty as you can see, and so are his brother and sister.

I really love this first one with proud big sister holding him…

Talk about a good looking family…!

Natural beauties… | Children’s Photographer | Bergen County, New Jersey

I just love this first picture!  What a natural beauty this girl is…with the kind of smile to light up a room.  Her little brother, only 4 months old, was also adorable and gave me some great expressions.  Such a happy little guy!   Check out his baby-blues in the last shot…

What a difference a year makes… | New York Children’s Photographer

2 comments

We broke it all out for this one year old…balls, bubbles, planes, even flipping monkeys!  (And I mean monkeys that flip…)  I met this boy for the first time one year ago, when I did his newborn session.  I said he was beautiful then, and he’s only gotten more so…

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… | Children’s Portrait Photographer | Bergen County, NJ

I was so happy to take these holiday photos for this beautiful family!   This little girl just melted my heart. What a beauty she is!  And guess who is the best at making her laugh…her handsome older brother of course!  Here they are playing around the Christmas tree.  I’m definitely getting in the Christmas spirit!

Three brothers… | Children’s Photographer | Morris County, New Jersey

comment here

I had the pleasure of meeting these adorable brothers last week.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m a sucker for a handsome red-head (if you don’t know why, see my “Bear Mountain….” entry) and I got to shoot two!  Now I’m loving these images in black and white, but I just had to include a couple in color so you could see the beautiful coloring on these boys.  Also, I could not have asked for a more gorgeous location.  Their house was picturesque with a pond, colorful reeds and pine trees.  I just love beautiful outdoor locations and although the sun stayed behind the clouds, it was unseasonably warm for December – so we were happy.  Here are the handsome guys…
