New York Cake Smash Photographer I met baby James for his 1st birthday shoot for the first time. His mama was a new client and I was excited to welcome them into my studio. He had big beautiful blue eyes and I knew we had to emphasize them. I dressed him in a blue romper...
Manhattan Cake Smash This was my first time working with little Layla. She was apprehensive of my assistant and I at first but eventually warmed up. Her expressions were incredible and I was swooning over her eyelashes. The first two setups were a bit of a challenge because she wasn’t super happy but we played...
Long Island Cake Smash I shoot this family very often and I am so grateful they keep coming back for their portraits. Owen’s mama really values the importance of photographs and I just adore her little boys. Owen was now turning 1 and running faster than his sitter session. It was definitely a challenge to...
Westchester Baby Photographer This was my first encounter with Miss Amelia. I knew her family for awhile and worked with her older brother a couple times.

Long Island Baby Photographer I met this wonderful family about 8 months earlier for this little guys newborn session. Owen was a great newborn once he finally fell asleep. Now as a sitter, he was trying to run before he can crawl. He was on the move and we were sweating in the process. We...
Brooklyn 1st Birthday I always have an assistant for my sessions but for today’s session my assistant was on vacation. So I asked a friend to fill in. This wasn’t her first time on set with me. We actually did a birthday shoot for her fur baby, Talula a couple years ago. I think working...
