A friend of mine, Abbey Fromkin, is an acupuncturist. Her practice is titled Life in Balance Acupuncture. Abbey has a wonderful newsletter that gives advice on all things related to health. She just sent out in her newsletter ways to move into Spring as we break through the ice and snow of winter into windy [...]

As soon as I put up my work at the Textile Arts Center I realized the connection my work has with arts that have quality in their materials and beauty in their design. Whether my work is done in silver gelatin or the painterly methods of platinum or palladium, I work by hand. Platinum and [...]

This summer, which just recently turned to fall, has been incredibly busy for me. A lot of photography–weddings, maternity, very new babies, continuing photographing babies as they grow. Also continuing photographing in Vermont for the inner story of a place. My next few posts will catch up to the present.

Pregnancy is both a rite of passage and a passage of time. To honor both, I have focused on the physical changes that the body experiences. With the use of a single sheet of 4X5 inch film, I make two exposures at different times in a woman’s pregnancy, sometimes waiting until the baby is born [...]

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.

Platinum and palladium printing is one of my favorite mediums. These metals are more precious than gold. I take solutions containing one or both and paint them on cotton or gampi papers. Placing the negatives on the dried surfaces, I expose them to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. A totally “green” way of printing [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
