New Baby

In late March I did a maternity session for a wonderful couple. We went to the lake in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, one of their favorite haunts. A month and a half later, we repeated our session with their new baby. Here is a sampling of our photos.

Natural Light for Photographs

When I can, I use natural light to photograph. Indoors the light can come from a window. Outdoors, of course, the light is always there whether it is a sunny or a cloudy day. I think it will be easy to see how the natural daylight has allowed these photographs of three […]

Children Indoors On A Rainy Day

The weather has finally shifted and there are lots of signs of spring. I have just heard the weather forecast for a weekend of rain. This doesn’t stop the opportunity for capturing wonderful photos of children. Children enjoy playing both indoors and outdoors. Here are photos from a rainy day weekend.

On Safari In Brooklyn

Using the word ’safari’ might seem strange for a walk in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY. However there are three families of swans along with many varieties of ducks, geese, and gulls in the lake in Prospect Park.

Wikipedia has a good description of swans and their habitats. Swans usually do not battle each other […]

From Mishmash to Lasting Memories: Part 2

Telling the stories of our lives is best done with photographs that inspire our memories and bring back cherished times. Recently, I did many photos of a simple afternoon of an 8 month old. We chose outdoors–the Brooklyn Promenade and a nearby playground. These were everyday sites that his mom and nanny […]

Doing Business Portraits For You and Your Profession

I like to think that a portrait, for use in conjunction with your business, should say more about you than a “head shot”. Recently when the colors of fall were at their most brilliant, I worked with Joyce of NYC School Help. The oranges, reds, and golden yellow were perfect for her business. […]

In Addition

In addition to working with so many wonderful clients in 2009, I am pleased that recent artworks have been exhibited in two New York galleries. Earlier this fall one of my platinum palladium diptychs was exhibited as part of a juried show at Soho Photo Gallery in Manhattan. This work was part of my […]

Choosing Natural Childbirth

I am writing this post to let everyone know about an organization, Choices in Childbirth, a not for profit organization whose mission is to help women make informed maternity care decisions.
I recently photographed Milon, a writer and editor of the Guide to a Healthy Birth, who is planning to give birth in her own home […]

Eat, Pray, Love: The Movie

Recently, June Bateman, an art dealer who represents some of my work, phoned me. She told me that four of my pieces were selected for the movie version of the book “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert.
My prints were selected by the set designer for scenes filmed in New York City, perhaps even in […]

The End of Summer Glow Photography Sessions

With Labor Day weekend approaching, some wonderful couples signed up for the End of Summer Glow sessions at Bump Brooklyn. I photographed both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors we toured the Brooklyn neighborhood where Bump is located on Bergen St. near Flatbush Ave. Here are some of our photographs from that day. Outdoors […]
