Summer Milestone Sessions in Southampton, NY

Summer on the East End is pure magic, and there’s no better way to capture that joy than with a milestone session at Cooper’s Beach in Southampton. As a Hamptons and Long Island family photographer, I love documenting families as they grow, creating memories that bring smiles for years. This session was extra special, as I’ve photographed this family from their engagement to their daughter’s playful beach adventures.

Milestone sessions are about celebrating your family’s journey - whether it’s a birthday, a new sibling, or simply documenting your family as they are right now. These sessions let you pause and enjoy the laughter and joy in everyday life. If you’re looking for a Hamptons, Long Island, or New York family photographer, I’d love to help you capture memories you’ll treasure forever. Let’s make this summer one to remember!

Capturing Fall Family Photos in New York City's West Village

There’s something truly magical about documenting family milestones in the heart of New York City. As a New York City Family Photographer, I love blending the unique charm of each neighborhood with the warmth and connection of the families I photograph. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing a sweet milestone session for a local family in the iconic West Village. With their six-month-old daughter and lovable pup in tow, we spent a crisp fall morning exploring cobblestone streets, ivy-covered walls, and scenic riverside views - creating timeless images that celebrate this special chapter of their lives.

The West Village is one of my favorite neighborhoods for family photography in NYC. Its tree-lined streets, historic brownstones, and hidden gardens create a cozy, picturesque backdrop that feels both classic and intimate. During the fall, the neighborhood glows with golden leaves and soft afternoon light, making it a dream setting for capturing natural, effortless family moments. As a NYC Family Photographer, I find that the West Village’s blend of urban energy and small-town charm allows families to relax and be themselves, resulting in photographs that feel genuine and timeless.

Being invited to document this family’s milestone session in the West Village was such an honor. Their love for each other, and for their city, shines through in every photograph. If you’re looking for a New York City Family Photographer to capture your own story, I’d love to help you create beautiful, lasting memories in the places that matter most to you. Whether it’s the West Village, another beloved neighborhood, or even your own home, together we can celebrate your family’s unique journey with timeless, heartfelt images.

Cherry Blossom Family Photos in Central Park, NYC

Each year, we wait for the cherry blossoms to bloom in New York City. The city is engulfed but a sea of pink and white blooms and for about two weeks, it’s absolutely magical. I couldn’t have planned it any more perfectly for this sun-drenched morning family session in Central Park just as the cherry blossomed reached full peak. The glowy golden morning sun was coming over the reservoir and it was as if we had New York City all to ourselves. We captured this little lady who was about to turn one with her adoring parents which is one of my favorite milestones to capture. Here are a few of my favorite film and digital images from their family photo session.
