CAPTURING MOMENTS, NOT CREATING THEM
ABOUT ME
My love for life and art is at the heart of my photography. I’m all about capturing people as they truly are—natural, relaxed, and full of personality. I prefer real moments over staged ones, and I love using natural light to bring out the beauty in every setting.
Working with all kinds of people is one of the best parts of what I do. I know being in front of a camera can feel awkward, so I focus on making my clients feel comfortable and at ease—laughs are always welcome!
I’m not into the typical posed shots. Instead, I aim to capture the real emotions and the unique vibe of your day, your family, this period in your new baby’s life and many others. My goal is for photos to not only convey something that feels natural, but often, with the use of natural light, a little bit magical too.
A photography teacher once told me, “You make a picture, you don’t take a picture” and it stuck with me. Photography isn’t just about snapping photos with a good camera—it’s about seeing the world in your own way and telling a story through every image.
If you’ve found your way here, I hope it’s because something in my work speaks to you. And I’d love to keep sharing my perspective with you!
Frequently Asked Questions:
-
How long will our session last?
Most of our natural light sessions last between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the type of session. This gives us plenty of time to explore different locations and capture a variety of moments. I do allow for more time with newborn sessions, for feedings, changings, etc.
What should I wear for a shoot?
Dress comfortably and in a way that reflects your style! Light, airy fabrics and soft colors tend to work beautifully in natural light. For family sessions, similar consider coordinating colors, not matching.
What if I am not very comfortable having my photo taken?
My top priority is to capture the most authentic and relaxed versions of you and your family. I genuinely enjoy helping people feel at ease, making it feel like you’re chatting with a friend. We keep it fun. I’ll gently point out any stiffness and offer suggestions on poses, hand positions, and other small details that can instantly transform a photo into something more natural and relaxed.
What if my children are being tough?
I always tell parents, BRIBERY! After the session, treat them to something they love, like ice cream. I have regular clients that this has become a tradition, and we all go together! This way your child associates me with fun. Bring along a candy or snack that they’re particularly fond of. I’ve been working with kids for a while now, so I’ve seen it all! I guess you could say I’m a bit of a big kid at heart, which helps me stay positive and relate during tough sessions, or even the not-so-tough ones. Whatever it takes to get a smile on their face, I’m all for it!
Where are the sessions done?
That is your choice! While I am partial to Brooklyn Bridge Park and Dumbo, there is also Cobble Hill Park, Prospect Park, Central Park, or even in your own backyard (if you have one!) I come to you. Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, New Jersey (within one hour via NJT) Long Island (within one hour via LIRR) Connecticut (within one hour via MNR) and beyond! * extra travel fees may apply
Can my pet be part of the session?
Please! I love all animals and completely believe they are family members.
What is natural light lifestyle photography?
Natural light lifestyle photography is all about capturing genuine moments using the beauty of natural light. It showcases real-life interactions in beautiful, outdoor or well-lit indoor settings, allowing the light to enhance the mood and feel of the images. Natural light brings a soft, flattering glow that enhances the overall aesthetic of your photos. It creates a relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to be yourself while I capture those authentic moments.
What types of sessions do you offer?
I specialize in various lifestyle sessions, including family portraits, newborn sessions, couples, weddings, portraits, headshots and even events. (Artificial lights meant to mimic the look of natural light may be requested or required for some sessions, indoor events may require use of flash)
What if the weather doesn’t look like its going to cooperate?
We’ll keep an eye on the forecast! If it looks like rain or clouds on our scheduled day, we’ll work together to find a new date that gives us that perfect natural light. Or alternatively, we can move the session indoors.
Do you travel for shoots?
Absolutely! Just a heads-up—travel fees may apply for longer distances.
How can I reach out if I have more questions?
I’m just a click away! Visit our "Contact" page or shoot me an email. I’m excited to help you capture those unforgettable moments in stunning natural light!
