One hot mama!
Beth said, oh not me, just Eden.
Really? Because I do a mother daughter shoot that is so incredible. Let’s get some portraits of you together, and I can get some gorgeous shots of you, too.
So we did!
Mother’s day present for yourself
One of the best gifts you could offer yourself is a photoshoot with your children or with your mother. The portraits hanging on your wall will be one of the few things in your home that increase in value, as time goes by.
A Portrait of a Dancer
Every once in awhile I do a shoot when I just can’t stop taking pictures. This was one of them. The combination of Emily’s beauty, the elegance of her lines, and then bringing it all outdoors, it was so much fun!
My daughter Anna – growing up in front of a camera lens
My daughter growing up in front of my camera lens over the past sixteen years. Blooming like a flower!
A Millennial Couple
My handsome stepson brought his gorgeous girlfriend for a visit and I got them into studio for a magazine style photoshoot!
Senior Portraits – i love doing these shoots!
I love to photograph high school seniors! They are no longer little girls, and not yet women. Here are some of the brilliant beauties I’ve recently photographed for their senior portraits.
Of Flesh and Stone
New York City museums are filled with sculpture that fill me with awe, many of them are hundreds of years old. The celebration of the human body inspires me and informs my work.
Personal Branding – good photos are a must!
Photographing beauties in faraway lands, what a fantasy job! Although it would have been a treat to travel abroad, we stayed local and I am grateful for having met these two incredible women.
A Champagne Party for Women
A fantastic group of women came to the studio last night to celebrate friendship, fun, and being a WOMAN!

I created this image was created with a piece of chiffon, a fan and an assistant. When I showed it to a friend who is a dancer, she said through a gasp, THIS is how I want to be photographed.
To makeup or not to makeup, that is not the question
The great Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh says, “Be Beautiful, Be Yourself”. and a little bit of makeup can do wonders in a photograph! (that part is mine).
THANKFUL FOR THE JOURNEY
Relocating to a suburb of NYC last year and starting my portrait business over again has been an amazing journey. Here are some of the wonderful people I met and photographed .
Photoplus Conference and creativeLive party in NYC
Looking at the beauties in these photos, you’d think I was hanging out models! The wonderful thing is, they are all photographers who specialize in making other women look gorgeous in photos.
Fifty and Fabulous – a photoshoot fit for a goddess
In her book Goddesses Never Age, Dr. Christiane Northrup says that aging is optional and has a lot to do with mindset. Her advice is to treat yourself like the goddess you are, and even describes how her glamour photoshoot was a transformational experience. I’d have to agree!

This blog entry describes my creative process, how I am inspired by painters like John Singer Sargent, and by the legendary portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz.
