There are few places as beautiful as the Hudson Valley of NY in the autumn. It’s the perfect time to step outside and enjoy hiking the grounds of Mohonk Mountain House. You can come for the day, or go all out and spend a week. I guarantee you’ll want to return again and again once […]
We’ve been close with Rebecca + Ed for a long time now and have kept in touch during the years since their wedding. That’s why we were especially excited to receive a call from them about doing an Autumn photo shoot for them and both sides of their family! We already knew their parents and […]
You know everything is just perfect when you get together with your couple and feel as if you’ve already known them for years. That’s exactly the way it is with Alexandria + Anthony. They drove quite a distance to meet us for engagement photos, so we wanted it to be a particularly fun experience for […]
We’ve known Bernie + Bill for quite some time now, having photographed several members of the family. And now it was THEIR turn in front of our eyes and cameras! We were truly pumped about their engagement shoot, so when we met up at one of the region’s most beautiful locations, we couldn’t help but show […]
We couldn’t wait to find out for ourselves how much Liam had grown since we last saw him. With Autumn now here, everyone agreed that the best place to enjoy an afternoon of sun & fun would be in an orchard at a local farm. Liam loved it, and his little legs couldn’t move fast enough to […]
If ever you want to imagine what the world looks like from aone-year-old’s perspective, then look no farther than the bright eyes of Elena. She’s gotten even more adorable since we last saw her several months ago. We love her curious and inquisitive mind. Her expression was filled with joy and wonder as she explored […]
We usually remember the vast majority of the faces of wedding guests even years after the event has passed. When wedding guests remember us, however, and then excitedly talk with us about photographing their own wedding — that’s when we know we have something special. Julia + Josh are absolutely something special to us. It doesn’t surprise us […]
Although we’re always excited when a couple contacts us for photography, it means that much more when it’s someone we’ve known for a long time and have been hoping to work with. We were first introduced to Maryellen as Richard’s sister at Rich + Aleeta‘s wedding. Even then, we knew there was something really unique and […]
Maureen was actually the first of Megan’s two sisters that we met on Megan’s wedding day. So when we were asked to photograph them and their boys for an Autumn family day together, we were already primed to enjoy ourselves and show them how much fun these sessions can be. Their oldest was the perfect helper when […]
We initially got to know Eileen + Tim at the wedding of Eileen’s sister, Megan. Of course we should have expected it, but somehow we had even more fun than anticipated with the two of them and their three adorable kids during their own Autumn portrait session. Their children were full of giggles, and they loved the wide-open spaces […]
We couldn’t hide our excitement over seeing Maddie and her parents again even if we’d wanted to!! Our plans over the past several months to join them at a beautiful family home on the North Fork of Long Island were so worth it! Maddie’s bright eyes and playful personality had us completely infatuated with her. Seriously, have you ever seen more […]
It didn’t take long at all for Mikayla and her little sister, Nia, to break out of their initial shyness in front of us. These two beauties are natural stars, and we loved our time with them and their parents. Their sense for micro-fashion and fun-loving nature were perfect not only for photos, but also for […]
Nothing could be more enjoyable on this Autumn day than a warm afternoon with Baby Eloise. And have you ever seen a baby with her very own Metrocard? This sweet little girl was highly anticipated by her parents, and she pulled out all the stops for her very first portrait session. We’re thrilled to have her parents […]
If her parents could bottle all the smiles they get to see on Baby Mackenzie’s face, we’re sure they would be millionaires! We can’t believe how Mackenzie has grown since we last saw her. But spending time with this happy one-year-old felt like spending the day with a tiny long-time friend. We’re really enjoying the chance […]
When we gel with a couple the way we did with Rose + Mike, great things are bound to happen! We love their spontaneity, their spirit of adventure, their easy affection for one another, AND their tree-climbing skills! Spending a day in a town that brought back good memories for each of them made photographing them that much […]
Let us state it plainly and simply: We love photographing Rebekah + Harry! Shortly after their wedding, they moved out west and began adding to their family. We’ve kept in touch during that time and were thrilled when they told us they were visiting New York again and asked us about photos with their little girls. […]
We first started getting to know Danielle by way of her sister, Mallory, whose wedding to Greg we photographed. Referrals like these are thrilling because it’s more of a continued relationship than anything else. We joined them at the incredibly scenic Mohonk Mountain House, which was still in full bloom although we were now well […]
Megan + Joshua came to us full of affection for one another and with lots of love for our style of photography. So when they asked for an extended session for their engagement photos, we were primed to blow them away with the experience. They were every bit as thrilled as we are with the results […]
It truly doesn’t get any better than days like this — a family outing on one of the last days of Summer at the stunning Mohonk Mountain House. The location had much meaning for Mark + Melissa, but for their little man, Mason, it was a place of adventure and wonder. His mouth dropped open at seeing the huge […]
We get warm & fuzzy feelings when we receive love notes like the polka dotted card we received from Jamee + Jeff after their fun family lifestyle session with us: Dear Jenni & Ulysses, Thank you so much for all your generosity of time, talent, spirit, and Home Goods! Much as we couldn’t imagine starting our […]
