There’s something so special about photographing a family for the second (or third, or fourth!) time. I had the joy of returning to the Berkshires to photograph a wonderful family I first photographed years ago—back when the twins, Gabriella and Olivia, were still little girls doing cart wheels in the yard. This time, they’re both in college and their little sister, Sophia, is not so little anymore. I still can’t quite believe it!
Moments like this remind me just how quickly life moves. It all changes so fast. That’s why I believe it’s so important to take the time to capture these chapters while they’re happening. A professional family session isn’t just about photos for your wall or a cherished album—it’s about pausing time for just a moment and preserving the love, growth, and connection that define your family right now.
Rose, Ron, Gabriella, Olivia, and Sophia, thank you all so much for letting me photograph your beautiful family once again. I love our time together!

There's something timeless about gathering generations together for family portraits. During a session in Riverside, CT, I had the joy of photographing a wonderful family who were all smiles. The highlight? The 18 month old gorgeous little girl who stole the show! She was the heart of the family and had the most amazing smile. I couldn't miss.
Professional family photography preserves more than just smiles though - it captures the connections - the siblings, the grandparents, and the children who really seem to grow right before our eyes. These photos, and the album they have from their session, become cherished keepsakes. Reminders of how precious each stage of family life truly is.
Watching generations interact always reminds me what makes family photography so meaningful. Thank you all for letting me photograph your beautiful family and treasuring family photographs like I do. |

We met on a foggy morning at their home in Old Saybrook, and everything about it felt quiet, soft, and meaningful. Tim and Suzanne had their whole family visiting — their son Doug, his wife Melissa, and their twin baby boys, Luca and Leo - and their daughter Alyse and her husband Mike with their baby girl Addison.
I’ve known this family since Doug and Alyse were kids, and getting to photograph them now as parents themselves is incredibly special. Watching that full circle moment never gets old.
Having grandparents in photos with their grandchildren is something families don’t always realize the value of until years later. These images become part of their story — something their grandkids will grow up seeing, holding, and remembering.
This morning was simple, foggy, and full of love — the kind of session that quietly becomes a family treasure. Thank you Tim and Suzanne for letting me photograph your beautiful family. I love you all! |

There’s something really meaningful about photographing a family for the second time and seeing how much their kids have grown.
I recently met up with Pam and Peter and their three children — Annie, Ellie, and Tommy — for a session at the beach in Southport, CT. It was a relaxed evening with great light and lots of easy moments. The kids have changed so much since the last time I saw them — taller, more confident, and somehow even cuter.
This stage of life moves fast, and it’s easy to forget just how much changes from year to year. Having professional photos is a simple way to pause time for a moment and hold onto what this season looked like for your family.
I’m always grateful when families come back and trust me again with their memories. Thank you Pam, for trusting me to photograph your beautiful family again. I had a great time! |

On a beautiful spring day in New York City, I photographed Sami and Diana with their three children — Safia , Yasmine, and Skander — at the Conservatory Garden in Central Park.
The Conservatory Garden is one of my favorite locations for family sessions. It’s quiet, full of natural light, and offers a gorgeous backdrop that enhances every photograph.
What stood out most during this session was the reminder that time together as a family moves quickly. Children grow up, schedules get busier, and before you realize it, everyone is in a different stage of life. These moments of being together in one place, in one season, are fleeting — and professional photographs give families a way to preserve them.
Family photography isn’t about perfect poses — it’s about documenting a season of life. Having images that show how your family looks right now becomes more meaningful with time. Years from now, these photos won’t just show what everyone looked like, but who they were in this chapter of their story. |
