Yearly tradition for dad- after swinging each daughter one by one, he holds all three at once. Admits this may possibly be the last year since they are getting too big !
This by far is the ulitmate dress for twirling! And what a twirl! Clearly a future athlete! Photographing in the fall out in the Hamptons is a treat, its calmer and not as hot.
Parks aren't always the best when it comes to holiday portraits, apartments are way to go when its freezing outside! Of the five plus years I have photographed this family, the two apartment sessions were the best! No trees to climb, no expansive places to run and best of all, controlled lighting!
Unseasonably warm, why not? Its never the wrong time to have beach portraits! This day was extremely cloudy, a photographer's dream! No shadows and the ability to shoot from any direction without squints!
There was a small mouse running around behind me until a seagull swept down and captured it! I don't know who screamed the loudest, the mom, the kids or me!
This past Saturday was not warm enough to swim, especially in a huge lake! When we went to the dock to take pictures, the dad put the boys on a swing above the lake. Needless to say the boys stayed dry holding on tight and I was able to make amazing images with "natural" smiles! A win win situation.

When indoor portraits are finished and there happens to be the rare balcony available...Yes, it was me outside with the camera freezing, but well worth it for this beautiful mom and her daughters!
It was "Family Night" at the Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club. I was lucky to photograph a bunch of families on the beach in gorgeous warm light
...these were cousins
I came to this gorgeous family, four children in all. The mom wanted a headshot for her clothing website. Beautiful!
I had a special request to meet and photograph a family in Tribeca as they were moving to the suburbs and wanted to document their family in the neighborhood they had lived for many years. We walked to a street where, apparently, many photographers use for all kinds of photo shoots. It was incredible! There was a man with an easel there painting, very European AND very New York in every way... I asked them to set the baby down on the dirty hard concrete, they willingly agreed- and out came these images! In one of the images, the baby's expression seems to be saying, "W
hat? My parents just put me down alone on this hard dirty floor???!"
Violet, a perfect name for this beautiful baby! Her first photo shoot, her proud grandmother had bid on my photography at a local church auction before she was even born! How fun- her range of expressions were phenomenal! Such a cutie! This is probably the last days of these wonderful spring cherry blossoms, we lucked out.
During the holidays families fly in from all over to celebrate. This family came together for Passover, all 17 
of them and I got a call from the proud grandmother to document. Cousins, aunts and uncles who haven't seen each other for many months were thrilled to see each other! During some of these images I captured, I wondered what was going on behind my to provoke such laughter! Rumor has it some of the uncles were making silly faces and bunny ears above my head....
This winter is ridiculous! I am so tired of wearing my big black down coat , I just want the weather warmer so I can go outdoors and photograph. This photo shoot indoors at my studio is the perfect solution and these girls who I have photographed since they were babies were amazing to work with. Two great outfits per girl and lots of enthusiasm, makes for great images. 
Summer is almost here! This wonderful boy and his canine best friend, Duke ,were fun to photograph! It was early October yet the weather was warm enough to be outside without coats. I am excited to photograph all summer long in the Hamptons where the beaches and homes make for perfect backdrops to the beautiful families.
I had the pleasure of photographing a very alert newborn baby! He is just 2 weeks old and after my initial sleeping images , around 7 in total, he woke up! We tried a wonderful stuffed cuddly toy which had a sound machine built in, a wonderful invention I wish I had when my son was a baby!
It worked for a few minutes, then he was up the rest of the time so I was able to capture his big beautiful eyes!
