First Family Portrait Session | Fall Family Holiday Photos
This recent Fall family session was so special to photograph for a multitude of reasons. One reason is because Alison is a former colleague of mine from my teaching days. It is always a thrill and an honor to be able to spend time with my beloved colleagues, many of whom I worked with for over a decade, and document their family memories for them. Secondly, this was Alison's first family portrait session with her beautiful two month old daughter.
Why You Should Book an In Home Lifestyle Newborn Session
When I launched the newborn segment of my business two years ago, I gravitated towards the lifestyle genre of photography. I wanted to make the process of newborn images stress free for my clients. My goal was to capture images for them that preserve all of those emotions that come along with bringing a baby home.
5 Reasons why you should book an in home newborn session
Making Memories at the Farm
t is no secret that I am a Summer girl, but I also truly love the Fall. One of my favorite Fall traditions is our annual outing to the farms out east. We try to get out there twice in the Fall, once for apple picking and once for pumpkin picking. These outings are especially important during this time of year because it allows me to have uninterrupted time with my girls during the rush of my peak holiday season.
First Birthday Photos and Cake Smash for Miss V in Lynbrook Park
I spent a gorgeous September afternoon at the park with mom, her twin sister, and the absolutely gorgeous birthday girl, Miss V. Mom had selected the most adorable outfits for Miss V, including a gorgeous bohemian style pineapple print dress. She also brought along a beautiful birthday banner that coordinated with the dress. The birthday girl was a pleasure to photograph and never cried...not even after two full outfit changes! My favorite part of the session was when we took her cake smash photos. Miss V loved the cake and had so much fun with it.
Studio Family Newborn Sessions | Timeless and Natural Newborn Photography
Clean Look for Classic Mom and Baby Portraits
Because my goal is to focus on the simple beauty of the newborn baby, as well as the love between family and child, it just makes sense to utilize a neutral color palette. These colors utilized for the background of the newborn sessions' all me to place an emphasis on that beautiful simplicity of those first few moments with baby. The scheme also enhances that gorgeous maternal glow that every new mom seems to radiate. These recent images taken in the studio show exactly why I love the neutral palette so much.
Introducing Newborn Lifestyle Studio Sessions | Simple and Classic Newborn Photography
Introducing the Simple Family Newborn Session! This session is perfect for all of those moms who want the in home look of newborn photos, but prefer to schedule their session in a studio. The second type of studio session is the Simple Family Newborn Session.
So now, Mom can escape and relax in the comfort of my beautiful studio space while I photograph her and her family interacting with baby.
A Very Boho Sixth Birthday Session | Fall Children's Portraits
Brace yourself because you are about to see some images of a mother and daughter who are strikingly gorgeous. Now, I know that you might be thinking that it is not quite fair for one family to possess this much beauty in their gene pool, but they are also amongst the most kind hearted souls I know.
Fifty Years of Love | Extended Family Session
I recently photographed a gorgeous couple celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. From the moment I started the session, it was so abundantly evident to me that they were still very much in love and it completely moved me; like I said, I am a sap. I hope when I am married for fifty years, my husband and I radiate that same love and affection for one another and I also hope that I look as amazing as they do.
2017 Holiday Mini Sessions: Vintage Bed Studio Sessions
The vintage bed session is a great choice for children of all ages. It has a classic and timeless look and features a beautiful authentic antique Jenny Lind bed, Anthropologie style bedding, and rustic holiday decor.
Classic, Natural, and Timeless Studio Newborn Sessions
There is nothing more perfect and beautiful than a newborn baby. So, I like to keep things simple during my studio sessions and focus on that natural beauty of the newborn. To accomplish a natural look, I photograph on neutral backgrounds and instead of forcing babies into awkward or unnatural poses, the baby is guided and positioned into poses that are natural, safe, comfortable and free of props. If the baby does not want to be in a particular pose or position, I do not force the baby. Ultimately, I want to create classic images of your child that will stand the test of time.
Now Booking Connected and Timeless Fall Family Sessions
I absolutely love photographing families in the pretty Autumn foliage. I love to capture connected and cozy images of families and I love the rustic backdrop that the season provides. So, if you have been waiting to update your family photos , now is the perfect time to do so.
Twins Second Birthday & Family Session
What could be better than photographing twins on their second birthday? Well, photographing those twins with their mom and dad for a family sunset session! This family session has everything that we photographers dream of: a gorgeous mamma, a stunning pink sunset, a loving husband, and two beautiful and cuddly twin siblings.
A Sweet Sunset Family Beach Session Filled with Love
I have been busy lately photographing lots of beautiful families on the beach. There is nothing I love more than photographing families, but it is even better when we get to take those family photos on the beach at sunset. As we get into the month of August, the sun begins to set closer to the ocean here in Long Beach, New York. This means it is also the perfect time of year to book a photo session; there is no better backdrop for your pictures than the beach with a spectacular Long Beach sunset.
A Very Special Mother and Daughter Session
There is nothing I love more than photographing mothers and their children, but I love it even more when I get to capture 100% authentic moments, which was the case with this beautiful duo. This mother and daughter required very little directing or posing and when you scroll through the images, you can see how they simply radiate love and connection. I always try to get to know my clients prior to each session and I was so glad that I had the time to confer with mom and plan this special session.
Elephant Themed First Birthday Session
If you aren't smiling already, this baby is sure to bring a smile to your face. I photographed this blue eyed beauty for her first birthday photos this past week in my brand new studio space in Long Beach, NY. Mom brought along the cutest elephant themed accessories, all of which were made by her very talented mother. Miss H is one of the happiest babies I know and I had so much fun photographing her.
Tips to Help you Document your Summer Memories | Long Island Family Photographer
Like most New Yorkers, I eagerly await the arrival of Summer all year long. It is my favorite time of year and because the season is so fleeting, I try my best to enjoy every second of those eight precious weeks of warm weather and care free fun. Like most of you, I am busy building memories with my little ones and as a family photographer, I try my best to document as many of these memories as possible to authentically document the story of our summer vacation together.
A Fun Beach Family Session
There is nothing quite like spending time with an old friend, especially when you get to share that time with your children. My friend Laura recently visited from North Carolina. Laura and I were college friends and lived a town away from each other post college. Laura moved to North Carolina about 15 years ago and this was only the third time we have seen each other in those years. Laura is one of those friends that no matter how much time passes, it feels like it was just yesterday that we were together. I always laugh when I am with her.
Gorgeous Mother and Child Beach Session
I have been busy editing my Mother and Child Sessions. I had so much fun photographing moms and their little ones. Every mother has a different and special relationship with her children and it is such an honor to be able to document that bond for moms. This recent session was an absolute blast. Not only were mom and her daughter beauties, but they were so much fun! Little Miss A has such a sweet and charming personality and was an absolute delight...
A Loving Grandparents Photo Session
My grandparents were an integral part of my childhood and I know that there is nothing quite like the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren. My approach to these sessions is to capture your children interacting with and loving on their grandparents.
It is so important that you document that bond for your children; they will thank you for the photos when they are older.
Siblings Birthday Session | Merrick, NY Children's Birthday Photographer
It has been a very rainy June; however, on the day I photographed these siblings for their birthday photos, it was close to 100 degrees out. These two little ones are amongst the cutest and sweetest children I know. Of course, I am slightly biased because they happen to be my goddaughter and nephew. Regardless, it is always a pleasure to photograph them and to spend extra time with them. Here are a few of my favorites from the session.
