Joe and Patty are expecting a son to join them this summer. I met at their apartment on the Upper West Side to take some more revealing maternity photos (only one of which you get to see!) and we walked to Central Park for the rest of them. (Near the pond at Bethesda Fountain, Joe put his had on Patty’s belly and she reacted to his cold fingers.)

The Emerald Inn is an old bar that is getting renovated into a Kate Spade retail store, and Joe wanted a few photos of his favorite watering hole while it still existed.

Maternity photos in front of a bar? Hey, why not?

These two are getting married in June, and they’ve hired me as their wedding photographer. I include an engagement photo session in New York City with every wedding longer than 6 hours as a way for me to get to know the couple before hand. Not everyone opts to take advantage of this, but it’s always so helpful when they do. I also think it’s helpful to the couple to get used to being photographed before the big day.

We met in Prospect Park to take advantage of the gorgeous spring weather and flowers. I dubbed Tamarah’s dress “a mullet dress”, and I’m digging their vintage style and tattoos. I think this is going to be a gorgeous wedding!

Stella | Park Slope Family Photographer

Stella (and her parents!) had one of my last mini photo sessions of the season (no worries; I’ll be back to offering them in October.) Stella is 6 month old and has the most epic double chin, a sweet smile that I coaxed out of her with a combination of singing, dancing and silly faces (this photographer is shameless), and a “are YOU talkin’ to ME” face that cracked me up.

When I posted Jay’s photo on my Instagram account, one commenter called him “turbo-handsome”. When he finds a girlfriend I’m going to shamelessly take full credit because of my photography, but really, he’s smart, funny, successful, and, as you can see, he can rock the shit out of a suit. He’s going to get snapped up pretty soon.

I took a series of photos of him inspired by GQ, and he was totally down for the “casually strolling down the street” pose and the “Oh, hello, I just happened to be on this stoop” pose. We had a BLAST taking photos on the streets of Park Slope.

These are my friends Liz and Scott, and they’ve just had baby Ada, who was two weeks old when I took these. I emailed saying, “Hey, if you’re up for me coming over and taking newborn photos…” which was really just an excuse to hold her and smell her new baby head.

She smells WONDERFUL. New babies are so excellent.

I snugged her for a little while, then we took some newborn portraits. My favorites are of her laying on the ground, where she conducted a symphony with her whole body. I flattened myself on the ground next to her and took a photo STRAIGHT up her nose, and got that wonderful shot of her perfect gummy toothlessness.

Isn’t she great?!

If you need photos of your newborn, too, get in touch by using my contact form, and we’ll set up an appointment. You do not have to clean up for me, and I don’t care if you have spit up on your shirt. Promise.

She came beaming through my studio a few weeks ago to get some blogger head shots which, as you know, is my quick, 20 minute photo package that gives you photos perfect for social media and LinkedIn. I try to keep it fun and not-cheesy for my subjects, and Sherry was a delight to work with. I’m excited she also opted for the pink backdrop for some of her shots; it’s a fun color combo with her red hair.

Pam & Ray | New York City Family Photographer

Pam and Ray have been married for two years and decided they needed love-filled photos of themselves. They live in Park Slope, Brooklyn, too, so we met at their apartment, and then I had them walk me the few blocks home, snapping photos along the way. This kind of photo shoot is my favorite. My neighborhood is so amazing, it was one of the first nice days of spring, and Pam and Ray were so kind and fun to hang out with. Their height difference is charming; she was in heels and he still towers over her.

Many people ask me what to wear for photo shoots, and the real answer is that you can wear whatever you’d like, but these guys illustrate a lot of points that I like to cover: bright colors, coordinating outfits with matching levels of formality, a scarf to give a bit of difference, and COMFORTABLE.

A tiny production note: In that first photo I used my flash. It felt like a weird choice on such a sunny day, but I was able to illuminate their faces and the big blue sky behind them (we were on their balcony), and I’m thrilled with the results.

If you and  your sweetie need excellent, fun photos, get in touch by using my contact form and we’ll set up a photo session.

Benjamin and Tarah | New York City Proposal Photographer

Ben teamed up with The Heart Bandits to orchestrate a sweet proposal for his girlfriend Tarah, and they called me to come photograph the whole thing. We met at The Art Studio in the Upper West Side, where there was live music playing and her favorite wine being served. I donned an apron and made up some story about taking photos for their blog (technically true, I suppose!) and captured the whole thing.

In their private art lesson for two, Tarah painted a tree landscape while Ben did a New York City skyline that had “Tarah will you marry me” in the sky. They kept their canvases hidden from each other until it was time for the big reveal; Ben admired hers first, then took her around to see his painting. While she closed her eyes, he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring.

So romantic!

She said yes!
