I had the joy of photographing one of my favorite families for the second time at their beautiful home in Hampton Bays, NY.
Cecile and Frederick, along with their daughters Lisa and Alex, welcomed me with the same warmth and laughter that made our first session so memorable.
What I love most about photographing this family is the abundance of love and fun that fills every moment. There’s something truly special about families who let their personalities shine and simply enjoy being together during a photo session. When laughter and genuine smiles light up every face, it’s easy to capture images that radiate connection and happiness.
Family photos are so much more than just pictures—they’re memories preserved, stories told, and legacies created for future generations. When families like Cecile, Frederick, Lisa, and Alex come together in front of the camera, they’re not just making beautiful portraits—they’re celebrating their unique bond and creating joyful memories that will last a lifetime.
Sessions like these are a reminder that the best family photos happen when there’s lots of love and plenty of fun. I’m already looking forward to our next session together!
I had the pleasure of photographing Amanda, Nick, Charlie, and Genevieve at an amazing location near their home in Bridgehampton, NY. Nova's Ark was the perfect backdrop for a family who loves to laugh and have fun together! This place was extra special too because it's where Amanda and Nick had their wedding. Bonus!
The spirit that they brought to the playful sculptures made this session one of my favorites. When families are relaxed and having fun, their true personalities shine through. These are the memories they will cherish and I am so happy I was fortunate to be a part of it. Focusing on enjoyment, rather than perfection, takes the pressure off and lets everyone feel comfortable and be themselves.
You know how much I love great lighting during a session but, I have to say, I love the laughter and playfulness even more!
I had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful family - Sabina, Adnan, Azra, Omar, and Tarik - near their home in Long Island City. Their neighborhood, along the East River, had the most incredible views of the Manhattan skyline, making it the perfect backdrop for our session.
I had never been in this area before and was thrilled when they picked it for their session. We walked all over and they gave me such a great tour. They pointed out the restored gantries, the historic structures, once used for loading rail car floats and barges. There were bike paths, playgrounds, and picnic areas. We covered a lot of ground and I was able to see how much this area means to them. It was wonderful to see it through their eyes.
I love when a family chooses a sentimental location for their session. It makes it so extra special!
