Long Island Family Photographer

Family photo session mother and son Roslyn, Long Island

Professional Family Photography & Long Island Professional Portrait Services Since 2011

As an experienced Long Island family photographer, I provide professional, heartfelt family photography for clients throughout Nassau County, Suffolk County and New York City.  Since 2011, my work has focused on creating meaningful, heirloom-quality portraits that reflect real relationships, genuine emotion, and the unique story of each family I photograph.

Families choose Long Island professional portrait services not just for beautiful images, but to preserve moments that cannot be recreated. Childhood moves quickly, family dynamics evolve, and time passes whether we document it or not. Professional family photography ensures that these moments are remembered and honored long after they’ve passed.

Award-Winning Long Island Professional Portrait Services

With over a decade of experience, I bring a high level of artistry and professionalism to every session. I am an award-winning Long Island family photographer and hold the Master of Photography credentials from Professional Photographers of America, a distinction earned through years of education and image excellence.

More importantly to clients though, is the ability to connect with people. As a mother and someone who spent many years working in a school environment, I have extensive experience working with children of all ages and temperaments. This background allows me to approach family photography with patience, understanding, and flexibility—qualities that are essential for creating relaxed, successful sessions.

Relaxed, Fun, and Authentic Family Photography

My approach to family portrait services is intentionally relaxed and enjoyable. Family photography should never feel rushed or stressful. Instead, sessions are guided gently while allowing space for authentic interaction and natural emotion.

 

During your family photography session, you can expect:

~ a calm and welcoming environment where children feel comfortable

~ encouragement rather than rigid posing

~ real laughter, movement, and connection

~ portraits that feel honest and emotionally meaningful

The result is a collection of images that reflect who you truly are as a family, rather than stiff or overly posed portraits.

Family Photography for Every Stage of Life

Family photographs are just as important—if not more so—as children grow older. While early childhood portraits are often prioritized, the teenage years, young adulthood, and multigenerational stages deserve equal attention. These seasons pass quickly and often go undocumented.

As a Long Island family photographer, I regularly work with families who recognize the long-term value of maintaining updated portraits. Many of my clients return year after year, documenting their children as they grow and preserving a visual timeline of their family’s story.

I offer extended family photography throughout Nassau County and Suffolk County, ideal for:
~ grandparents with grandchildren
~ large or blended families
~ milestone birthdays and anniversaries
~ generational family portraits

Trusted by Families Across Nassau County , Suffolk County and New York City

Much of my business comes from word-of-mouth referrals and 5-star reviews from families who value both the experience and the final artwork. Clients often share how much they appreciate the relaxed nature of their sessions, the patience shown with their children, and the care taken in creating images they are proud to display in their homes.

Many families return year after year because they appreciate working with a family photographer who understands not only how to create beautiful images, but how to manage family dynamics with patience and care.  The recognize the value of professional Long Island portraits services.  These families invest in photographs as an important part of their family history.
