Ten from a recent classic winter wedding at the Metropolitan Building—and many more now featured on my portfolio site blog here!

I’ve emerged from my editing cave to share ten snaps from this morning’s family session in Cobble Hill Park—the perfect way to start a Friday and kick off a weekend! 

I’m going to try my darndest to be better about bringing my fancy camera out and about on family occasions. Tonight was my first step in my quest to do so—happy Halloween to you and yours!

I first met Ana last fall as a client—we took family photos in Brooklyn shortly after they moved to NYC, and to make a short story short, we became fast friends and the last year has felt like a decade (in the best way possible). Her magnetic spirit and creative energy are undeniable, and her family is one of the most darling I’ve ever met. Our daughters have had countless adventures together (my little one quotes her eldest, Edie, on a daily basis), and we continue to collaborate regularly on everything from styled shoots to late-night texts debating new tatts. It’s one of those friendships that’s carefree and easy—so needless to say her recent morning family session on the Highline was just that, and I treasure these images just like I treasure this family in my life. 

(Many more images on my portfolio site here.)

Ten from a recent newborn/family session with the sweetest big brother I’ve ever photographed. 

This morning at Bakeri in Greenpoint. 

When it comes to sweet and mellow newborns, baby Raya takes the cake! Having just entered this chaotic world merely days ago, she possessed a sense of calm that was almost otherworldly—and needless to say my baby fever is that much more pronounced after spending the morning photographing her and her darling family. It’s trios like this one that make me think I can effortlessly handle a whole brood—I not only snapped pics, but I took mental parenting notes as well!  

Can’t get enough of this gal? Feel free to visit my portfolio site for more images! 

Took an obligatory autumn trip to an apple orchard yesterday, and I broke out my fancy camera for the occasion!

Ten favorites from a recent Soho/West Village wedding—and many more on my website here!

After a full spring filled with newness (of the tiny human variety), my calendar shifted to ceremonies and celebrations (of the marital variety) for a good portion of the summer, but sweet George arrived a few short weeks ago and gave me that baby fix I had been craving! After a maternity session with this incredible couple in Brooklyn Bridge Park, I eagerly anticipated meeting the little one that I had come to know only as a beautiful bump—and he was more delicious than I ever imagined. Upon arriving at their home, I was greeted with two amazingly calm new parents and an offer to hold George for a bit before we started photographing, and needless to say I accepted with (quite literally) open arms. The rest of the morning was just as blissful, and I can’t wait to watch this handsome guy grow and flourish (and capture all the milestones along the way).
