Award Winners, 2022 and 2023

I am so proud to share these images that I photographed and earned accolades on this past year! Yes, I am a portrait photographer, but I have been enjoying dabbling in nature and landscape photography as well. Three of these photographs are from trips I took to...
New York City Family Photography: Baby Julian

New York City Family Photography: Baby Julian

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing an adorable family on Roosevelt Island. Julian is six months old, and full of joy! Look at him–he had just woken from a nap with nary a peep, and  within a minute was smiling all over the place!...
NYC Portrait Photographer: Felicity-style

NYC Portrait Photographer: Felicity-style

Last week, I met up with Catherine, a young stage performer. She’s putting on a one-woman show next month, and was looking for publicity photos in the style of the Felicity credits–black and white, very New York, personal and pensive. We wandered around...

In Remembrance

9/11 (2010 Tribute Lights.) It’s been ten years, and the events of September 11 still seem surreal. I heard about it on the radio while driving to work (at a coffee shop). We kept the radio on in the back room and listened in snippets. The stream of customers...
Personal Series: ColorStory

Personal Series: ColorStory

Utata is a photography group. It was the first one I joined on flickr, back in 2005 or so. They host projects constantly–Iron Photographer, Thursday Walk, Weekend Project. A few years ago, they started a Big Project. I was too intimidated to attempt any previous...
Lightning!

Lightning!

When the weather goes wild, my instinct is to grab a camera. On Friday night, I resisted the urge for awhile and avoided looking outside. But when I saw the flashes lighting up over the city, I couldn’t help it. I brought my camera and tripod up to the roof,...
NYC Author Photographer: Bob

NYC Author Photographer: Bob

Bob was referred to me by Keith. Bob is also a former teacher and filmmaker–he’s finishing up his vampire flick, which he wrote, directed and produced! He wanted author photos for his website, and specifically wanted very serious, almost intimidating...
NYC Engagement Photographer: Sam and Erik

NYC Engagement Photographer: Sam and Erik

I met Sam last year when I joined a book club. She and her boyfriend Erik got engaged last fall and this spring I offered them an engagement session. We roamed around the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens one Saturday last month. Unfortunately the cherry blossoms hadn’t...
NYC Portrait Photographer: Keith

NYC Portrait Photographer: Keith

A few weeks ago, I met up with Keith. He’s a former teacher, like me, and a budding filmmaker. He wanted some headshots/portraits, so we explored Soho on a beautiful Friday afternoon.          
NYC Portrait Photographer: Beata

NYC Portrait Photographer: Beata

Meet Beata. She’s a lovely young New Yorker who wanted some portraits taken to start getting into modeling.  So we met up in the Meatpacking District, and had a great time exploring all the unique colors and textures in the area, including the...
NYC Model Portrait Photographer: Chantal

NYC Model Portrait Photographer: Chantal

This weekend I had a second photo shoot, this time with a young model named Chantal. We met in Prospect Park as the sun was going down (which is painfully early nowadays!). Though we didn’t have a lot of time as we raced the light, we got some beautiful...
NYC Model Photographer: Yanni

NYC Model Photographer: Yanni

Since I enjoyed shooting with Joanne, a model, this week I joined Model Mayhem. I’m hoping to build relationships with models and photographers in New York, and more so, to keep taking photos! I’ve got several shoots scheduled for this weekend. First up is...
NYC Portrait/Headshot/Model Photographer: Joanne

NYC Portrait/Headshot/Model Photographer: Joanne

Today I met with Joanne for a photo shoot. She’s a young model who just moved to New York City and is getting ready to celebrate her 21st birthday this weekend! We wandered around the South Street Seaport area–the brickwork around there is gorgeous!...
New York Portrait Photographer: Ed

New York Portrait Photographer: Ed

Ed is a filmmaker who needed some portraits for his website. We started in his home office. From there we moved outside, to his neighborhood of Roosevelt Island, which is a small, lovely community. Plenty of interesting backgrounds, too!
New York City Portraits: Liz V

New York City Portraits: Liz V

My friend Liz needed some portraits done. She’s an amazing food photographer (check out her blog and portfolio) and is contributing to several different sites, but without a bio photo. So we spent a few hours walking around Brooklyn taking some beautiful...
Julie & Andrew, Part Two

Julie & Andrew, Part Two

After Union Square (see Part One here!), we headed to Dumbo for its industrial beauty and scenic views. This bunch of photos is my favorite. Enjoy. 🙂
Julie and Andrew’s NYC Engagement Photos

Julie and Andrew’s NYC Engagement Photos

This was my first e-session, and holy wow! I had SUCH a blast. These two young people are gorgeous, fun, and happy to listen to my strange requests. I took a ton of photos and am still processing, but I know they’re dying to see some shots, and I must admit...
