Ashley and Brian got married at the beautiful Maple Shade Farm in upstate New York. Their focus was on family, friends, togetherness. The result was a wedding that exuded warmth and joy.

Natalie & Maxime got married on one of those perfect summer evenings in the Catskills. They were surrounded by friends and family in a cottage and later barn setting, which fulfilled their dreams beautifully. It was quite dreamy.

Sometimes love can’t help but seep through the pores and spread all over. If that’s the case, these two are soaked. It’s such a pleasure to witness a couple early on in their engagement- ready for all of the adventures ahead.

I have documented this family from baby bump to baby bump, toddler to Kindergarten. The joys (and tongues) just keep coming. It’s beautiful to watch this family evolve and the chaos only makes it all the more fun.

Kate & Trevor had to pivot their wedding plans, as many have, but decided to have a (Halloween!) ceremony prior to their postponed reception. So, at dusk on chilly Halloween day, these two shared their handwritten vows of love to one another. It was quite touching, to say the least.

The passage of time has brought giggles and discovery for this family of three.

Emily and Jeff adore their pup, Louie, but knew their family required more. What a surprise to learn that they would get not one, but TWO additional family members to love and pour over.

Exuberance, love, and New York City. Carrie and Danny had it all. They took a stroll in the neighborhood they call home, hopped an Uber, and wed in a flurry of excitement and butterflies - but their faces tell it all.

When I met L&W I immediately caught on to their playful attitudes towards one another and all the fun they created. Their wedding day was no different. Truly a joy to watch these two whoop it up at the Kimpton Eventi Hotel.

Lisa and Ben welcomed their second baby girl to their Brooklyn family. Looks like these sisters are going to have quite the fun time.

Ashley and Marcus always loved the water, having gotten engaged on the beach, so a boat cruise wedding was most fitting.

A first “bump” can be such a quiet, beautiful, and intimate time for a couple. Having the opportunity to capture these two, soon before they become parents to a baby girl, is just priceless. It’s exciting that one day their little one will get to peak into this time in her parents lives and witness the anticipation of her arrival.

I’ve had the fortune to watch this family welcome their second daughter, to then a year later return to their home to watch her turn one. Theirs is a joyous home, filled with all the energy you can picture.

As always, an in-home shoot is one of my favorites. There’s not a lot better than depicting exactly what life looks like RIGHT NOW. In a few years those little faces will have grown and changed just a bit, but this family will always have these images of when their locks of hair became intertwined and the light hit their cheeks, just so.

Here’s what the family had to say, “Thank you so much for the incredible photos. We looked at them yesterday, and we really really love them. They feel very authentic, candid, visually interesting and fun. It's such a nice range of shots for us to use. We're so glad we decided to do this, and glad we chose you!

The session itself was really easy; and your calm and welcoming approach put us all at ease and you were able to capture our family in a very authentic way.”

Caroline and Trey are a joyful couple that always embrace each other's silly.  It takes special people to seize a moment and run, unabandoned, through life's spraying fountains.

Melanie (an identical twin, herself) and Michael were shocked and then elated to learn that their family would not be growing by one, but two. Their daughter, Vivi, took on the protective role of Big Sister soon after.

I had the pleasure of spending a little time in the world of Taleea & Anita with their beautiful son, Ike. Hailing from Australia, these two have made a loving, warm home in Brooklyn, NY. Both are self-proclaimed “shy to the camera,” but can’t help but light up in their son’s presence.

Who doesn’t love another chubby baby to cuddle? This duo will certainly cause some mischief in days to come but for now it’s all sweetness.

Growing a family in Brooklyn was always a dream for Chamin & Brian and they knew their family was complete upon the arrival of their daughter, poignantly named Brooklyn, and later their son, Kingston.  

When someone contacts me to photograph their "wild little family," I say: Bring.It.On. In truth, family photo shoots are hard and each child you add the harder it gets. That said, I always look for the mini-moments going on within the larger chaos. People don't hire me because they want air-brushed, hair-perfect, controlled photographs. They hire me because, although exhausting, they appreciate the frenzy that is a young family and they want a photographer who appreciates it just the same.

Time surely does fly as I’ve watched this couple grow from marriage to a budding family of four. Nothing is more challenging (and fun!) then wrangling a 3 year old, but sometimes the chaos is the best part.

These happy parents welcomed their little Adrian into their cozy Brooklyn lives. Likes include: shaking his booty (with mom’s assistance) and well deserved naps.

Lindsay & Michael knew their daughter, Molly, would make the best big sister. So, they added an Olivia and a Violet to their family. These three are definitely going to cause a raucous- in the best possible way.

The chemistry between this lovely band is evident and was oh so enjoyable to document.

Eric & Moriah were moving the very next day to a new home in a new city. But, they had their priorities in order and knew they couldn’t miss the opportunity to document this overwhelmingly joyful time in their lives.

Reid and Leah were overjoyed to welcome their daughter, Riva, in late June.  

I had the opportunity to visit India where I was able to meet these beautiful people and faces.  It is a country of color and aroma with so much to offer its travelers.

Rebecca and Jonathan got engaged in the most NY way- after boating in Central Park. They couldn't wait to be married in the city they call home.

I had the privilege to travel to Guatemala in summer's past.  I came to know Guatemala as a country with deep spirit where the people truly understand what it means to be happy with what you have and place utmost value on family and community. They also have giant horrific bugs that will haunt me for life.

Lindsay and Brian could wait no longer to be married and chose a court house wedding for their nuptials.  This was followed by a feast of a dinner at their favorite restaurant in the West Village accompanied by close friends and family to celebrate their union.

Lindsay and Brian were elated to learn they would be having a baby girl. They named her Sloane and couldn't wait to introduce her to their world.

China has a rich and varied landscape.  In the south, I was able to visit the Lonji Rice Terraces, which is land worked by the Yao women, as well as meet a Cormorant Fisherman whose family has a long history in the profession.
