FAMILY

F-A-M-I-L-Y

A 6 lettered word that has so many different meanings.

You love them.

You can’t spend too much time with them; yet you can’t stay away for too long either.

But it’s the in between moments that make it all worth it.

Everyone is doing their own thing while pleasantly enjoying the company of three generations.

 This has to be a very special way to spend your Thanksgiving morning.

The Body Guards

Nothing says “built-in-body-guard” like two older brothers who simply adore their little sister. Yup, she’s got it good; mommy’s little angel and she’s got two big, excited brothers.

It’s easy to see why they’re so eager to welcome her into the family.

Oh, Sandy!

Lovely girls surrounded by nature’s lovely fall colors.

Luckily, I took advantage of these cozy pom-pom hat and knit sweater clad girls playing in little bits of Autumn heaven before Sandy came and swept it all away.

That’s not the only thing she took; anyone else trying to carry on with out power?

But that seems to be the least of the Sandy’s devastation, she managed to leave thousands without homes and cars.

It feels like this could be something like the apocalypse.

But not really, there is a silver lining in this mess, it gives us some time to connect with our families and communities.

When else do we get ask our neighbors for an extension cord and have to spend time connecting it and testing if it works?

It surely allows for more bonding than the usual cup of sugar.

Hope everyone managed to stay dry and warm, and that we see the end of this soon!

I’m so excited to share a new way to enjoy, remember and cherish your photo session.

Taking the portrait session to a whole new level.

Family Photographer – Monsey, NY

I love summer portraits.

There is nothing like the gorgeous outdoors as a background for the family portraits.

There are some terrific locations that I love to use and I’m always looking for new exciting places.

Here we are at a train station.

Tamar & Daniel are ready to see the world.

Petite Sessions for 2011 – New York Family Photographer

Hey Everyone!

Pesach was amazing, great company, great food and finally at the end of the Yom Tov, great weather.  Hope it was great for you as well.

I can’t believe the school year is almost over.  I have 2 of my children graduating, my daughter is graduating High School and my son is graduating Elementary School.  So many milestones to celebrate.  I myself celebrated a special birthday this past March.  Over the Yom Tov, my family spent time looking back at our family albums and remembering the way we were and all the good times we’ve had.  That is what photos do for us, they bring us back to a time that is gone.  Families are living organisms.  My Father-in-law is IY”H going to be celebrating his 80th birthday this year and the family is putting together an album that includes all the kids, grandkids and great-grandkids.  Even as we work on it, a couple more are on the way and it will be outdated by the time its presented.  But still, as we are now, it’s important to document and celebrate.

This is where the Petite Sessions come in.  Every year should be documented and should mark the way you are NOW.  A full regular sessions offers opportunity to explore your family’s personality and individuality artistically, where as the Petite Session captures you NOW.

So if you booked a Petite Session last year, call me again this year.  I look forward to seeing you all again!

If you’ve never booked a Petite Session, try it!

I’m using new locations for a fresh look and I included one Brooklyn date.
