While I’ve been, admittedly, remiss in keeping up with the blog in the past six months, I’m honestly trying to get back on the bandwagon. And, if you’ve followed my studio Facebook or Instagram pages, you’re well aware of my family’s love affair with our dogs. We lost our old guy Maxx last winter and […]

Man’s Best Friend – Nyack Family Photographer

Families

Melanie first called me to take headshots last fall, as she is a local real estate agent (look her up if you’re in the market for a new home!). So, I was enormously excited when she reached out again, but this time to photograph her newborn son. Baby John is the newest super cute addition […]

Last year (or maybe the year before), around this time, I believe I posted about ways in which we can actually display our summer or vacation photos. Oh wait, that post is HERE! I maintain for forever and ever that we should always be printing our photos or making them visible in some fashion. Otherwise, […]

Summer Vacation is over…What to Do with All Those Photos – Candid New York Family Photographer

Family Fun

When Lisa contacted me to photograph her family, I was excited at the prospect of photographing not just her and her boys, but also her parents with them. My kids’ grandparents live on the other side of the country, so any time I get the chance to include grandparents in a family session, it makes […]

When Vanessa called to schedule her family’s session, is it weird to admit that I got a little giddy when she mentioned she had three young children (5, 3 & 6months)?! Seriously, fun is better. And, I don’t know anyone who likes to have fun more than the toddler/preschool set. She didn’t want a session […]

Jenna and Dave are basically my neighbors. Seriously, Nyack is the coolest place and living here, you meet some really awesome people. With REALLY cute babies 🙂 Griffin is a champion sleeper! He could really teach my 6.5 year old insomniac a few things about the importance of catching a few zzzz’s. And, he’s a […]

Moms of boys….unflappable, used to the the energy and independence that comes with their brood. What can I say, it’s how we roll 🙂 Maria was no different. When she first contacted me about photographing her “tweenage” sons (with, of course, herself and her husband) I will admit to being a tad nervous. But, sometimes […]
