A year ago this beautiful boy was born, he was just two days old when his parents asked me to come to photograph him with his family. He was adorable as a newborn and is a very active cute little baby/ toddler! Loves sports and goofing around with his two older brothers. Lucky for auto focus, he's fast! His mom called me to photograph him as a surprise gift for his dad's birthday. I hear Dad was thrilled!
I went to my favorite area in New York City to photography a family. The West Village is such a lively mix of people, food, boutiques and art schools. This family had a lovely apartment with lots of natural window light which is my favorite. To top it off the baby's name was Nina! Photographing in homes is a unique experience.
As a photographer I relish the different surroundings. Children are so at ease at home so this makes it most fun for them, plenty of treats in the kitchen, lots of toys, what can be better?
Im tired of all the snow and cold and excited to get back out to the parks around New York City! This beautiful baby was turning one and really loved when his parents held him high in the air and upside down. He has the most beautiful dimple!

The best part of photographing pregnant moms, is seeing and photographing the beautiful new baby! I love the way this big brother looks at his new sibling, just one week old! Its both a tentative and a incredulous look. This little newborn didn't sleep too long and joins his brother in a chair for more pictures. The next day I photographed his Bris at the Harmonie Club. Not a peep! Needless to say many expecting moms asked the Mohel for his card! Never have I attended or photographed a Bris where the baby doesn't cry! 
I have been photographing this beautiful redhead since she was a baby and even during her mom’s pregnancy. When her mom takes her out, everyone stops to say hi to her, she is the “mayor” of the block! She’s a bundle of personality and light and a true pleasure to photograph. So, when her little brother arrived it was his turn, and what an adorable cutie he is! He is delicious to photograph, to look at and to hold! What lucky parents!!As with all new siblings, the older child wants a piece of the action when I concentrate on the baby,so we took turns, while the baby was getting ready, he had just learned to sit, I spent time following the older one around and giving her tons of attention, needless to say she was the performer and rose to the occasion.
We were so lucky to have a day in Late October that is 60 degrees and as a photographer, my favorite lighting, cloudy. Twin beauties in the incredible quiet gardens of Saint Luke’s . We did a good job disturbing the peace that afternoon as we prompted the girls with songs, snacks, keys, silly sounds, etc. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing them five months before with their absolutely stunning dog! The dog, a pure white show quality Malamute was the most mellow dog I have ever met! The girls sat on him, fed him their own snacks, pulled him around, what a sweetie!
I met these adorable girls and their dog at Washington Square Park. It was very nostalgic as I graduated from New York University for my Bachelors Degree and also my Master’s Degree. The neighborhood and park were wonderfully familiar.When the mom told me she would like to include their dog, Misty, in the photographs as Misty only has a few months to live, I teared up. The shoot became an homage to Misty for me. We included her in tons of images, I chose this to display the girls relationship with her.
Yesterday was freezing! I met these wonderful boys at Carl Schurz Park and they were prepared in these wonderful reto hooded coats! Lots of jokes later, I leave with some amazing colorful fun images. The colors were incredible! Just when I thought perhaps its getting too late in the season to find such vivid colors, there they were! Im so excited!
