Summer snapshots



Summer was great-came back with lots of inspiration from unique NYC moms. And my own, Miss Olivia, who spent too much time fabric shopping with me and befriended the famous mascot of Mood, Swatch, as they rolled around on the floor together in front of Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum. That's my girl!

The studio is officially closed until September 7th! I'm lucky and excited to be working in NYC this summer. Stay tuned for some exciting summer blogging!
To book your holiday/newborn sessions, please send me an email and I'll get back to you ASAP. Have a terrific summer!

A fantastic short and sweet...



This brother and sister team were all smiles and giggles as they raced around Mizner Park for this beautiful late afternoon session.

Empire State of Mind..


I had the opportunity to photograph Becky and Seth's Rehearsal Dinner and even better was that I was able to witness this amazing, adorable, and very well-loved couple get toasted the night before their BIG day. So many stories from lifelong friends and family-what a beautiful night. Only an NYC couple could get the party started with some brilliant karaoke that left the guests clamoring over microphones. I wish you guys the best of luck, but I have a feeling you won't need it.

Avery


Ahhh Avery.. Most parents think God has given them "good babies", but let's not forget about their amazing mothers. Keeping them well fed and on a routine from Day 1 is recipe for a very happy baby. Good work Kelli, she is perfect!

Great Photos...


The above photos were taken with a Canon G10 PowerShot in Paris last October..
and yes, that's a point-and-shoot.


I know many of you received one of the latest and greatest cameras this year, and now you’re excited and thinking . . . perfect! Now . . . how do I use this thing? Digital cameras are getting easier to use all the time, but here a few tips to get the most out of your camera.

  • Keep your new camera close by. If you want to catch your kids “in the moment,” the camera can’t be very far away. Find a secure place in your main living space that is easily accessible at a moment’s notice.

  • Get close. If you want to capture the emotion on their faces, get close. If you’re too close, your camera will let you know by not allowing you take the picture.

  • Limit distractions. I can’t tell you how many snapshots I’ve seen in which the subject, a tiny little child in the middle of a room full of distractions, is completely lost in a sea of other “subjects”. Again, get closer . . . can’t say this enough.

  • Don't erase the photos "in camera", a common mistake. There are many reasons why this is a bad idea but mainly, the quality of your in-camera display is not equal to the output you will receive.

  • Buy a memory card with at least 4 GB .

  • And a little bonus tip: Print the photos!! Don't keep your captured memories stuck in the camera card.

  • Finally, if all else fails: Read the manual!!
