I love when families want to take portraits because life just flies by and families change so quickly. Additions are made to immediate families, babies turn into kids then teenagers and other family members are unfortunately are no longer with us.

I love where I live because within an hour radius of Westchester County there are so many different places to shoot: New York City, the beach, botanical gardens, golf courses, woods and mountains. I second shot with Mekina Saylor last summer in the “mountains” of New Jersey for this Mineral Resort and Spa wedding.

I’ve shot at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club before in the Fall and now also in the Summer. Fiddler’s Elbow is beautiful in both seasons, but I have to say there was some really beautiful light this time that I second shot for Jessa of Love & Light Photographs.

I have a love for organization. There’s just something about everything having a place that makes me so happy : ) I also really love chalkboard paint because it’s just so much fun and I can change whatever is written on it whenever I want. It’s perfect for reorganization!

Christine + Jonathan are friends of ours from our church, Awaken. They’re expecting their little boy in June and wanted some maternity pictures along the Hudson River. So we went to Rockefeller State Park Preserve for a Rockwood Hall Maternity Session.
