This was my first time photographing the Iuliano family. Hopefully not to be the last. We met at the American Yacht Club in Rye, snapped a few photos and went for a little boat ride. A gorgeous evening with a family of 6!

Love their names - Mimi and Winston. We enjoyed a little shaved ice, played rock, paper, scissors and walked like an egyptian at the High Line back in September. It’s hard to believe the fall season is nearly over. I have quite a few shoots to share. Have a wonderful weekend and I’ll be back with more next week!

We finally got power back and things are back to “normal” over here.

I have lost count what number shoot this is with this amazing family. I love everything about them. I especially love that at each shoot they show up just as they are. No fluff. No planned outfits. No real plan. Just us, together, doing what we do.

We met at their apartment and decided to go for a little tour of their neighborhood. We got ice cream. We rode scooters. We played in the park. And it was awesome.

by far, my favorites shot from the afternoon

I love this family. Everything about them makes me smile. There is nothing better than a relaxed, fun and casual shoot with a family I adore. Thank you for reminding me why I love what I do.

This was my first shoot with the Haselden family and hopefully it won’t be my last. We met on a warm morning at their beach club only two weeks after their third was born. Life as a family of 5 seems to be treating them well. They were all very excited about their newest addition, a boy! Thank you Haselden family for a wonderful shoot, you were lovely as can be.

For those of you who don’t know of Divalysscious Moms, allow me to introduce you to Lyss Stern, Founder and CEO of New York City’s premier socializing network for fabulous moms (and moms-to-be) and their little ones. Lyss and I met about 8 years ago and still keep in touch. She was one of the first people to partner with and support me when I started this business. I’m forever grateful.

We recently strolled the Upper West Side while catching up and taking a few photos. She too has two boys so there were quite a few notes to compare. A great summer afternoon with one lovely lady.

The Chang family helped me kick things off this season. This was my first Hamptons shoot this summer. It felt good to put my toes in the sand.

Could she be any cuter? Those blue yes and little bottom tooth…yum. We kicked things off at their apartment, went for a walk around the west village and then landed at the Hudson park. Gorgeous day. A big thank you to the Scharff family and to Dena at Cypress Albums for the referral. I was honored.

the lin family

Mom purchased the “First Year” package so I’ve been lucky enough to photograph the Lin family 3 times in the last year. We first met when Jonathan was only a couple months old, he just turned one in March. It’s been nice to see how much the boys have grown since our first shoot. That’s one of the many things I really enjoy about my job. To see how the kids grow and watch families expand and to be a part of that is so rewarding. I also love how by the third shoot we’ve got the routine down. Everyone knows what to do and feels comfortable with each other which makes for a great shoot. Clearly Peter knows the drill…

NYC was their home for many years after they met at and graduated from Cornell.

They now live in Brussels and were here for a few weeks visiting.

Moxie was all smiles until he passed out for a little afternoon snooze.

Mom’s yellow sweater was the perfect touch.

His parents lit up when they looked at each other.

Lots of love.
