Manhattan Family Photographer | Luca and Nico

I met up with these two handsome fellas at Fort Tyrone for their holiday pictures earlier this week. I love working with them because they're so much fun (coming up with posing ideas and spots to take pictures...can ya stand it?!). The end result meant tons of great choices to pick from...hope you like my selections for the blog!

Manhattan Family Photographer | sister fun

This morning I met up with these 2 adorable little ladies for their holiday pictures. We started with some hang time inside and then finished up with some wintery fun in their neighborhood. I can't decide what I like better, the inside shots or the outside shots. Decisions, decisions!

New Jersey Family Photographer | family reunion shoot

Last weekend I met up with an old high school friend. She wanted to to a portrait session with her entire family. Its so hard to get everyone together because we all have busy lives, but its so worth it in the end. Seeing all of the pictures and how everyone has grown up is pretty fun. I'm sure these guys haven't done a full family shoot in years...sort of like most of us. What a wonderful idea!

New Jersey Family Photographer | holiday shoot

This saturday I met up with some friends for their annual holiday portraits. We were hoping to do the shoot at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, however the park was closed. So we made a spontaneous decision to do the shoot in Hoboken, using building textures and colors as our inspiration. In the end, I think it was meant to be. I am so in love with everything about this shoot. Yay!

New Jersey Newborn Photographer | Julia, 15 days old

Last week I photographed this adorable little newborn baby girl, Julia. We think she may have been having a growth spurt on the day of her shoot because she was way  more interested in eating, than having her newborn pictures taken. However, in between bouts of feasting, we were able to snap these beautiful pictures. Such an angel face baby!

Manhattan Pet Photographer | Charlie's holiday pictures

Its always a fun day when I get to photograph animals, and when the animal looks like a walking stuffed animal its like the best day ever. I met up with Charlie and his mom last year for their holiday pictures and this year we decided to switch it up a little by really showing off their neighborhood and the places Charlie hits along his daily walks. Its doesn't hurt to throw in a fun pair of high heels though, right?!

I rarely blog an entire shoot in black and white, but something inspired me to go this route for these images. There's something so classic about the overall feel I get when I look at the pictures and I was just curious to see how it would look presented monochromatically. I think I'm in love...plus it doesn't hurt to have an adorable group of kids to photograph!

New Jersey Family Photographer | Charlie Keene turns 2!

I got to see Charlie Keene yesterday morning for his 2 year photo shoot. I didn't think it was possible for him to get any cuter than last year, but he managed to blow me away again with his contagious smile and happy attitude. To say he is obsessed with rocks and dirt is an understatement, so trust me when I say Charlie Keene was in heaven at this location. There was tons of stuff for him to explore. We had a great time as always and I'm so happy I got to document another year in the life of this super guy!

Connecticut Family Photographer | Vinci and Gia

Here is the second family I photographed at my Connecticut Fall Portrait Day. I've been working with this family since their oldest was just a baby and its been awesome watching them grow and their personalities emerge. These two camera loving ladies are right up my ally -- they came with a big bag of accesories and a slew of poses. Here's just one "look" from their shoot. If you'd like to have a chuckle, be sure to check out the "out take" I posted to my facebook fanpage with them in their holiday attire. Its totally adorable.
