LBCA wanted to do something special for the volunteers that came back year after year. Myself included. I have been photographing this event since 2014. Its a great local charity that does wonderful things for anyone in need. Unfortunatly Johanna (The President of LBCA) is not in here but I will get her next year. These were less than 10 minute sessions inspired by the lighting of Peter Hurley. I also had fun adding all the graphics and they...

Mary is a Long Island professional looking for a more polished studio look. We weren't going to try the red because she was wearing a red shirt but it worked our great and she ended up selecting 2 images on that background. I even got her to take her glasses off and she love the image so much because it reminded her of her mother. So sweet.

Myles is a COO of a vision company and needed some shots for his company website. We worked for friendly but powerful. I tossed in the Black/Whites because I think he looks masculine in those. Although, he liked it the Ladder shot was not one of his final 3 but I loved it so much I had to process it too. I loved the variation of expression and sometimes when you're a COO you need to be bad ass :)

Kelly is a Doula. She was looking for a few images to represent her as the earthy, friendly approachable person she is in real life. We also snuck in a few shots with her adorable 4 year old! What a cutie!

Madeline has an Irish Spring look of innocents. It really lends itself to Black and White Classic photography. However, her eyes are so beautiful that it's hard to move away from color. A true beauty either way!

Krysta is a beautiful young opera singer who came in for personal branding shots. I couldn't help myself when she brought in this fantastic gown. So we did a little Glam the Gown session and then I coupled the gown with a couture headpiece a designer friend of mine (Caroline Berti) made.

I love when I photograph a family and years later they remember their experience and call me up to create new memories. This little family is part of a huge family I photographed in a restaurant in Roslyn a few years back. We did this session right in their own home in Long Island.

Brian local real estate agent interested in professional images for his business cards, social media and company website. This session was done on location at his office and we used a mixture of daylight and flash to get the nice open look he was looking for.

It truly is a gift to have the pleasure of photographing one of my closest friends. I met Agnes 9 years ago when my son Cooper was in kindergarten and we have been friends ever since. Agnes is one of the kindest woman I know. She is a proud Polish woman and a selfless mom. She is always cooking, cleaning and working to care for her family and friends. We literally cried while looking at the photos together. I am privileged to be able to show...

Anthony is an executive chef looking for images for his social media and to replace the look of his corporate listing. He brought a casual outfit, a chef uniform and a casual business look. I told him to bring a fun chef prop as well which is where the knives come in. I always love a prop that is specific to a profession.

Skylar is a Junior at Long Beach Highschool. She came in to check out how it feels to be photographed because she is considering a modeling career. She was clearly a natural.
