I adore the six month milestone. Babies have so much personality at this phase and it is such a great time to capture a family’s bond. Some families come back to me after their newborn session to schedule a six month old family session and others schedule this session in lieu of a newborn session.
This session was scheduled on a windy evening in early September. Although I primarily schedule my beach sunset sessions on the south shore of Long Island, I always love venturing to the North Shore for beach sessions. The beaches have such a different vibe to them and I love the aesthetic they provi ..read more

A question I often hear as a family photographer here in Long Island for over a decade now, is how often should I schedule family portraits? I have met many families during this time and I see many of them annually for updated photos, but is it necessary to have photos taken annually? As a mom and photographer, I can tell you the answer is, yes. I schedule photos for my own family every year and plan on doing so annually. I realize that for some, this may not be realistic, so I am going to go through some suggestions about when to schedule photos and why you should continue to do so.

It is no secret that I am a big proponent of taking family photos. This is especially true for newborn photos. With that being said, I have many clients who just want a photo session that is focused on the baby alone. These clients are looking for images to hang on their walls and use for announcements. Most of these clients book a family session wither at six months or a first birthday, when moms are feeling up for family photos.
I totally understand why moms feel this way and that is why I offer a simple newborn session in my studio. The simple newborn studio session is focused on the baby a ..read more

It has been a long and cold Winter here on Long Island, New York. Now that we are just a few weeks away from the Spring, I am pining for the warm weather, beach days and of fun filled nights on the beach with my clients for sunset beach family photos. My beach sunset family sessions always book up fast, so if you are considering one this upcoming Summer, now is the time to start planning for it.
Why you should book early
1) Sunset spots book up fast. I don’t overbook my calendar with sunset sessions. This is because I need to leave room on my calendar to account for rain dates. I typically onl ..read more

Today is a mild Winter day here in Long Beach, NY. We are just a few short weeks away from the Spring season and I am ready for it. Spring is a busy time of year in the photography industry. Clients are looking for a portrait photographer for a wide array of occasions ranging from Communion portraits to Mommy and Me photos. I love this season because I capture a diverse range of clients and each session is unique.
I usually only offer mini sessions in the Fall for the holiday season, but decided that I would offer a Spring mini session this season in my Long Beach studio. I love the minimalist ..read more

I have been a newborn, children’s and family photographer for ten years now. In that decade, I have had the honor of photographing countless families with their newborn babies. Although I have a beautiful studio located in Long Beach, NY, most of these newborn sessions have been scheduled right in the comfort of my client’s homes.
When I first speak to prospective clients, the first thing they say is they worry that their home is not a good choice for a location for newborn photos. I get it. As moms, we all worry that our homes are not perfect. I am here to tell you that a perfect home is not ..read more

Most people book newborn sessions and a first birthday sessions, but so much happens between those two milestones. Baby’s develop so quickly in the first year and though each phase should be documented, the six month milestone is such a perfect time to schedule a photoshoot.
