My second shoot from this weekend was with Ala and Calum. We opted to use the bright flowers from the garden as our main backdrop and then we headed down to the grassy area of the park. It was the perfect combo with everyones outfits and I'm loving the outcome. Enjoy!
I'm super excited to share my first shoot from this past weekend. I've been photographing these adorable twins since they were born- which is such an honor. We had loads of fun exploring the arboretum, it really was a perfect afternoon. I had a hard time picking what to put up here- so there's a lot. Hope you enjoy looking as much as I did photographing!
This weekend I photographed a large family portrait- complete with grandparents, twin brothers, and 3 super cute little ones. Ive been photographing 2 of the littles since they were first born, and it was an extra special treat to meet the rest of the family. Loving the celebration of family in these pictures. Enjoy!
Yesterday I got to see my old pal, Charlie and his momma for their annual portraits. I missed their faces last year because I was super pregnant- so it was an extra special occasion. He's such a chunky monkey!!
My second Central Park shoot this weekend was with this gorgeous family, in celebration of their "soon-to-be" second addition. Talk about a perfect baby bump! I can't wait to meet the little person later this fall. Enjoy....
This morning I met up with Juliette and her family for her 1 year portraits. So much has happened in the past year, and it was wonderful to see all the growth and changes she and her brother have made. We had a wonderful time, the park was empty and this little angel was happy the entire session. Hope you enjoy her pictures!
Today I met up with Ethan and his parents for his very first photo shoot. This little guy was having a hard snooze-fest, let me tell you! I don't think he opened his eyes for more than 30 seconds while I was there. Because of this, we were able to get so many cute, content, peaceful shots and I'm loving everything. Hope you enjoy this little angel!
I officially have a new favorite "genre" to photograph. Its called senior portraits and its way fun. I met up with Carly tonight at the arboretum for her pictures. She was such a sweet heart and so easy to work with. She was my first ever senior to photograph and I must say, she made it utterly amazing. I am beyond excited to share these selections with you. I hope you enjoy!
Today I met up with 1 month old Jacob for his very first photo shoot. This little guy gave us a run for our money today - but in between the rocking, holding and feedings- some magic happened. I'm pretty sure its a day his parents won't forget. Instead they'll look back on it with fond memories of when their adorable son wanted some big time lovin.'
Today I headed in to NYC for a newborn session with this stunning little gal. She truly was an angel to work with and I love looking through all the wonderful images we managed to capture. Here's a little preview....
Today I met up with this handsome devil. Let me tell you, his personality is as adorable as his face!
Tonight was pure magic. I've been working with these 3 cuties for years now, and I look forward to seeing how much they've grown each time we meet. Tonight all of them came running up to me, full of picture-taking excitement (ya gotta love that kind of enthusiasm). As a result, lots of loveliness happened. I think you'll agree....
Yesterday I met up with 7 week old Maeve and her family for her very first portrait session. She was such a sweet, easy little lady to work with. And the interaction with her brother made everything even more special. Simply Precious!
I couldn't have asked for a better evening to take pictures this past weekend. Here are some of my favorites from the family shoot I photographed at sunset. Glorious!
This morning I photographed some friends from Connecticut. They packed the car up with all three kiddos and headed down for a visit to Jerz. Hats off to these guys! We had a busy session, filled with lots of races, bubbles and laughs. Gotta get that energy out after a long car ride, right? Luckily, the arboretum has plenty to explore and play with. Enjoy....
Revised on Friday July 18, at 2:3 pm.
This will be changing on a daily basis, but as of today- here is my availability and locations for the next few months. I can only photograph 3 clients per Saturday. If only 1 time slot is listed for a date shown above, its because the other times are booked.
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my other shooting days.
I photograph a certain amount of clients per month. Once the month books up, I will start a wait list. Its best to book 2-3 months in advance now (my busiest season).

This morning I met up with William and his little sister Julianne for their summer portraits. We were a little worried with the weather, but mother nature was kind and we managed to get some amazing pictures. The simplicity of the color palate mixed with their beautiful faces makes me so excited to share!
LBI portrait day 4.
A gift for the grandparents, who celebrated their wedding anniversary. I can't imagine a better present: everyone hanging out on the beach, making memories and taking pictures of three generation. Complete with champaign, I might add! I may have to copy this idea for my own family next year. What a great moment to look back on. So thankful to have photographed it!
LBI portrait day 3.
This shoot was a little different from what I'm used to, which is always a bit thrilling for me. The idea behind their portrait session was to capture who these boys really are; sports lovin' fools! Their passions are baseball (they're really good at it) and surfing (yep, they're cool). So we did a little of both and in the end, I think we succeeded in completing the goal. Memories made between two brothers, and images they'll cherish when they're older!
LBI Portrait Day 2.
Ryan: a little super hero with a big personality. To say we had fun during this shoot is an understatement. Ryan came running right up to me (cape flowing behind him), and gave me an amazing welcome. The last time I saw him was 3 years ago- for his newborn shoot. So seeing him for this session was kind of a big deal, plus I photographed his parents wedding a few years back. I'm so excited to share this preview with you. It was a magical night!
