Every August, I find myself back on Nantucket photographing one of my all-time favorite families — Amy, Brett, and Tate. We’ve done this session for so many years now that it feels like a beautiful tradition, one I look forward to all season long.
Each time I’m there, I get to discover a new corner of the island — a hidden beach path, a quiet dock, a new ice cream shop (I had to throw that in :). This family has truly introduced me to Nantucket’s magic, and I’m so grateful for how our sessions have grown and changed along with them.
It’s one of those sessions that reminds me why I love this work — connection, tradition, and the joy of revisiting a place that feels a little more special each year. |
There’s nothing better than photographing a family that truly knows how to have fun—and that’s exactly what happened with Jackie and Brian’s crew in Scarsdale. With Juliette, Daniel, and William racing around full of energy and laughter, I definitely got my steps in and had so much fun doing it!
Jackie and Brian kept right up with the kids. There was some whiffle ball, swing sets, slides, and a whole lot of laughing!
That’s the secret to the best family photos—when everyone relaxes, has fun, and simply is themselves, the genuine smiles and warm connections shine through in every frame.
Thank you all for being so genuinely fun to be with and photograph! |

Four generations, one family — all together by the Branford shore.
I loved photographing this crew. It’s not every day you have great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, and little ones all in one frame, sharing precious time by the water. Watching them interact — the hugs, the laughs, the way everyone naturally came together — reminded me just how special these moments are.
Life moves fast, but having photos that capture every generation side by side means those connections are never lost. It’s exactly what makes family photos worth taking.
Thank you all for being so warm, welcoming, and fun to photograph. Until the next time!

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. |
