Right after rain, the sky clears in a way that the blue is brilliant. The day was crisp but this three month old had her first glimpse of the spring sun and the awakening buds.

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 lovely maternity couples [...]

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. This photo sequence, a [...]

Women’s Expressive Theater has an ongoing series to help teen age girls accept who they are and not try to match peer expectations. It is called the Risk Taker’s Series. About once a month during the school year a group of about 150 teen agers gather to watch a film that relates to their experiences [...]

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 for [...]

Recently I was reminded how clearly babies perceive and how intensely they feel. I was spending time with a friend and her 8-month-old baby girl who is happy and always ready to play. Talking to her is a lot of fun as she listens and responds as if she could already speak. While her mom [...]

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 frequented with him. [...]

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. Most people [...]

In a recent conversation with Amy Abrams, one of the founders of In Good Company Workplaces, she stated, “My children are over documented but there is no storyline to the photos–just a mishmash.” She went on to say that her children aged 4 and 2, love looking at her wedding album with its organized prints.
