Central Park Family Portraits | The Cimmiyottis

When I moved here nearly a decade ago, Alex was one of my only college friends living in the City, with a year under her belt. The world was ours and I'm certain neither of us imagined being where we are today --- all grown up, adults, if you will. Back then, we were just two California girls living it up in the Big Apple. 


Alex and Jason have been supporters of my business since the very beginning when I took the leap three years ago. It goes without saying, they are close friends who will be truly missed with their upcoming move to the Bay Area. 


The proud parents wanted a shoot to commemorate their years spent on the Upper Westside and of course, when the tide changed for good and Pablito entered their lives. Pablo is simply perfect! Congratulations to Alex, Jason and Pablo on their move "home."

Central Park Family Portraits | The Dennes Family

I've worked with Meridith, the matriarch of the Dennes Family, on a few occasions now. First, for a shoot on the only snow day we had all winter! Then, for a shoot for her network for women, Project Eve


Addison and Morgan are darling and both very photo friendly. We began our shoot at Paul Mole, one of the last standing barbershops in the City. Meridith used to have her hair cut here as a child too, so it has special meaning for their family. After a short romp on their scooters, we made our way to the park for some fun in the sun. Enjoy!

Brooklyn Bridge Family Portraits | The Corderos

You might remember Elise from out shoot in August when she was just about a month old. To have the privilege to document children during their first year of life is so exciting. Elise is now 8 months and full of giggles. And with those little teeth in the front? C'mon! She is totally squeezable and I think her parents, TJ and Kristina, would agree. We had a fun time in Brooklyn Bridge Park, which is quickly becoming a go - to for my Brookln clients.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Portraits | The Meer Family

Spring in the City is a beautiful time, second only to the northeast Fall. After months of freezing temps, the sun {finally} comes out and begins to slowly warm our toes, inviting us out to nearby parks to enjoy the blooming trees. I enjoyed a beautiful Sunday with the Meers in Central Park, followed by a visit to the Met. Remi, just 2, is a regular here and knew more about the museum's highlights than I did! What a cutie!
