Over Memorial Day weekend Jessica and Zev married on the hillside of Hildene overlooking the Green Mountains of Vermont. The day was one of those crystal clear blue sky days. The children were enjoying their new dresses and added their brightness as they walked the garden path to the ceremony site. With readings by their [...]

Our city life can feel gritty at times. But we are here, so why not enjoy what it uniquely offers? In Dumbo, Brooklyn artists have made the walls and fences come alive with their paintings and thoughts. This is what one of my clients chose as the backdrop to celebrate her pregnancy with her husband. [...]

Today is International Women’s Day. With this I am drawn back to an event a few weeks ago sponsored by the New Space For Women’s Health. It was a talk with midwife Carol Leonard who read sections of her wonderful book “Lady’s Hands, Lion’s Heart”. For me it emphasized the power of sharing our own [...]

These photographs are from current work. These diptychs are of a mother-to-be. We are already planning to photograph her beloved baby. These maternity photographs have a special look with double exposures using nature. My client comments that the “double exposures soften and add motion.

We have been experiencing cold this winter. Many of us are having trouble dressing for and being outside in it. When I think of snow I am drawn to its beauty and yes, our abilities to experience it. Whether in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, where the swans manage with the snow and ice, or in Vermont [...]

Recently I photographed a bride in her wedding dress designed by Jenny Packham. I wanted these photographs to be about feeling, to be as evocative and sensual as the dress. Like one of the first women photographers, Julia Margaret Cameron, I intentionally softened the focus to evoke dreaminess. The silk tulle of this dress wafts [...]
