This can be tough, right? Making sure your photos look different from past years. Especially if you share your images in your yearly holiday card. You don’t want to keep sending out the same shot with a similar background. Personally, when I shoot my own family I try to do the opposite look from t

For each home session I do, I try to get a sense of what my clients want to capture and then simply go with the flow. I mean, going with the flow but with some direction when needed! For this shoot, we wanted to capture real-life moments but also some nice “casually-formal” portraits too. I’m not su

I like to try out new things when I am shooting communion portraits. I grew up during the time when there was only one “look” to a communion portrait. But who says thats the way it has to be? Normally the communion shoots happen in the spring but for this lucky lady we did the pictures in August (th

Here’s a twist on a beach shoot. We’ve all seen the usual “summery beach photoshoots.” Trust me, I love a summery beach photoshoot. I also love a fall, winter and spring photoshoot on the beach. The Jersey shore is ideal for all the beachy photoshoots with the neutral tones of the sand, surf and

When my client contacted me for this shoot, she said “I love my home in the fall, there’s such a warm and inviting feeling I get at this time of year. Can we set up a shoot sometime in late October?” Yes! Yes I will be there. When I showed up and saw her doorstep with all of its Thansksgiving-

In between the posed family portraits that we all want (and that I am hired to capture)… are those unplanned moments. And I know that you want them both. Honestly, I LOVE when they happen and I can surprise you with them. We need them both. We need those traditional portraits where we all look

If you know me, you know I love to shoot with horses. They are so majestic. Its like watching a piece of art move across the land. So obviously, this was basically one of my favorite days everrrrr . To make sure I achieved my vision (honestly, I didn’t have a set vision other than the lighting)

Photoshoots done in the comfort of your own backyard adds a level of comfort and ease. I realize not everyone has acres of land to shoot in, or a park-like setting just outside their own door. But honestly, you don’t need that much space. The most important aspect is lighting. Ask your client to vie

Sharing two of my favorite images from this farm session I did at the end of the summer. We did all the traditional family portraits in all the beautiful spots but it was these two images I captured at the end that really speak to me. The corn moon (yes that’s a thing people. I googled it!) was risi

A few years back we had a massive snowfall in early December. Once the snow stopped and the sun came out, it was pure magic. I had already purchased my kids holiday pajamas, and decided to do a fun snowy shoot in the new pajamas (I mean, I might as well get my money’s worth!). Here is a little inspo

Here’s a fun idea for a holiday photoshoot, my friends….a black tie inspired “end of the night” look. That end of the night vibe comes across thanks to the styling of the big brother with his undone bowtie and unbuttoned collar. A shoot like this can take place virtually anywhere; your dining room

It goes without saying that a strong vendor team always takes a wedding day from good to great! And a well-organized and detail-oriented planner is a

Tell us a little bit about your background and how you got involved in photography. I have always had an interest in art, crafts, and photography – taking snapshots of family and on vacations back in the day. I also have a graphic design/typesetting background (pre-desktop publishing!). I purchased my first SLR in 1979 – […]

Here is a little “city street” NYC family portrait session to inspire you. We chose to shoot just outside of Central Park because I had previously done family portraits for these guys in the park. We wanted natural portraits that were unique and captured the spirit of the city. For me, that means we
