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.
One of the greatest joys of being a family photographer is getting to witness new beginnings — and this session with Eric, Lisa, and their beautiful baby girl Mia was exactly that.
They’re new to my neighborhood and wanted to begin Mia’s story here, capturing her first chapter in their new home and along the beach nearby. I loved that intention so much — starting a family history not just with photos, but with meaningful ones, rooted in place and memory.
Mia was nine months old at the time of our session and truly the easiest, happiest little soul. All smiles, curious eyes, and that wonderful go-with-the-flow energy that makes photographing babies such a dream. Whether we were at their home or out by the water, she was completely content just being with her parents.
These are the kinds of sessions I treasure most — simple, relaxed, and full of love. No pressure, no posing perfection, just a family being exactly who they are in a moment they’ll want to remember forever.
Welcome to the neighborhood, Eric, Lisa, and Mia. Your story here is already off to a beautiful start!
