senior sessions- now booking!
By senior sessions, I do not mean people of older age- I mean high school and college seniors! We all know how blergh most of the yearbook photos are- totally cookie cutter, no personality at all, boring backdrops (unless of course you opted for the 80’s laser background- is that even a thing anymore? it totally should be!). I mean is that really the way you want to remember your senior year? Selfies and phone shots are so great and totally have their place, but wouldn’t it be so much better to have professional photos at locations that mean something to you, in outfits you choose, looking your best with someone who can pose you in a way to highlight your best attributes and bring out your personality? Yes! And that someone is me! I wish senior sessions were more of a “thing” here in the New York area (they are HUGE in the south and west) but I am on a mission to make it more of a thing here because I LOVE doing them!
Family members? Yes, bring them along. Friends? Absofreakinlutely! A friend group is always super fun! Pets? Please bring your furry besties! Props? (a favorite car, your sport jersey or equipment, your instrument, your art, a book that moved you, your favorite blankie or stuffed animal, your college hoodie for your current or soon to be home for the next 4, etc etc etc)- yes, yes and YES!
For those of you who are rising college freshmen and are planning on rushing, your sorority or frat may require a headshot. Don’t you want to give them something that says “YOU”? Or if you’re graduating college and moving on to the business world, you’ll need a great photo for LinkedIn or for your resume. No selfies or ducklips.
Lastly, parents- your baby is leaving the nest. Don’t make your “big memory” picture of them the yearbook photo. Make it a photo that will make you smile every time you look at while they’re away- because you know that’s your kid and their full on personality in that picture.
Because I have my own senior this year, dates are a bit more limited due to prom, graduation, orientation, and college starting mid August. So don’t delay and book your senior session now!!

virginia’s 85th birthday
As usual, still posting from this past fall, it I definitely couldn’t forget about this birthday! Virginia is just a force. Strong, smart funny, beautiful and just an amazing presence in the world. And there is zero way she’s 85 because she is so young at heart. She was super surprised (which is good cause it was a surprise party!) and her granddaughter namesake flew in from college which was probably her favorite surprise! Happy (extremely) belated birthday to Virginia!

I know we’re pretty far out from Christmas, but I’m still (and always I guess) playing catch up. But the levels of adorableness of the baby and dog are really seasonless. I am consistently making up words, but you know what I mean.
