As a mother and a photographer, I understand how every moment with your baby is precious and fleeting. That’s why I’m here to help you preserve those memories for a lifetime. From the soft, sleepy moments to their first playful giggle, I believe in capturing those tiny details that make each baby’s early days so special.
As a mom of three—ages 18, 17, and 13—I know how fast time passes. It feels like just yesterday my children were babies, and I find myself constantly looking back at photos that bring the warmth of those moments rushing back. This understanding fuels my passion for capturing memories through photography, so you, too, can relive those precious moments as if they happened just yesterday.
With over 9 years of experience as a professional NYC photographer, specializing in newborn and baby photography, I have the expertise to capture those fleeting first moments in a way that’s both artistic and timeless. Parents often refer to me as a “Baby Whisperer” for my ability to gently pose, soothe, and wrap even the fussiest little ones. This expertise comes from over 20 years of experience working with children, allowing me to create a calm, enjoyable, and stress-free experience for both parents and babies.
Every session with me is thoughtfully curated to reflect your baby’s uniqueness. I carefully select props, adjust lighting, and focus on details that will make your photos as timeless as the memories they represent. Your session will be tailored to your style and preferences, ensuring that the photos we create together will become cherished family heirlooms.
Creativity is at the core of my work. I approach each session with an artistic eye, finding inspiration in the smallest details, colors, and compositions. I believe that every moment—no matter how small—can be transformed into something truly beautiful and meaningful.
From your first inquiry to the delivery of your photos, I prioritize making the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. My goal is to ensure that every moment of your photography experience is as enjoyable and memorable as the photos we capture.
When I’m not behind the lens, I’m enjoying animals, sipping coffee, and always seeking out my next adventure.
I’m truly honored to be part of your family’s journey and look forward to capturing the memories you’ll treasure forever.
