I heard once...

“The most beautiful things in life are not things;
they're people, places, memories, pictures, 
feelings, moments, smiles and laughter." 
Once you become aware, 
everything potentially is beautiful. 
That for me sums up what I love about 
being wedding photographer.

 Summers are spent 
on LI beaches 
and in the mountains of the Catskills. 
Fall to me is the perfect season and 
Christmas music starts early in my home. 
I adore outdoor weddings, 
inspiring architecture and charming locations.

I believe...
music, books and ice cream have special healing powers and
everyone should own a shoebox full of happy 
memories to re-visit long after the moments have been forgotten.  
 

MY FAVORITE THINGS

my favorite things

a cozy corner, enthusiasm, energy that can shift a room,'bear' hugs, impromptu dancing/sing-alongs, inspiring people, happy dispositions, charcuterie boards, cupcakes, country roads,
witty banter, random acts of kindness, a hygge lifestyle,
the magic of a new moon, conversations with my children,
childhood photographs, falling snow, holding hands, blankets, car trips, my husband's laughter, empty beaches, Thanksgiving. when a dream becomes reality...

"You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again.
You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life."

"Remember the days you prayed for the things you have now."

“Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there.”

"To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place.  I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."

"What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce."
