I live my life in terms of images. Photographs are memories playing through my mind. So, I count myself very fortunate that I’m able to have and maintain gear that allows me to capture my daily life and images in the way I envision them. Whether that’s thru a fisheye lens or my beloved 70-200 […]

Compact Camera Recommendations for Parents – Rockland County Photographer

Families

Natalie is my hero. Can we just get that out of the way? She has three boys and, at the time of our photo session, they were all under the age of 5. Twins Tanner and Tyler, and big brother Tristan are full of gusto, as any little boys worth their salt should be. The […]

TJ & Keira have been clients of mine for a few years now. Their daughters are just drop dead beautiful. So, while this session is long long overdue for its blog post, it’s fun for me to look back on this amazing afternoon. Khloe is the baby sister, and a total ham. She had us […]

The #1 best thing about being a family photographer, is all the families I get to meet. Our family has firmly exited the newborn, toddlerhood, and preschool periods.

In the beginning, there were two people and a boy who decided they wanted someone else to call their own. It’s always tough making the leap from one child to two; I would argue that it’s the toughest transition…but, also one of the most poignant. It’s not just about us parents anymore, but about the […]

Newness is Perfect – Rockland County Newborn Photographer

Newborns

This year, I attempted a 365. One image a day, every day, all year long. The making pictures part isn’t what has proved to be most daunting, however. It’s culling and editing all of the images. As a mom, I find it difficult sometimes to just stop at one. As a working mom, I find […]

A Project 365, the highlights – Westchester NY Family Photographer

Families

Each year I have these grand ideas of capturing something totally spooky or fantasy-filled on Halloween Night. In our village, Halloween is a big deal. Read: A very BIG deal. But, unfailingly each year, my grandiose plans fail. Here’s why. Just as with all things kid-related, the kids are the ones running the show. And, […]
