In 2018, I started tinkering with how I took photos. I experimented with different lenses and ways to manipulate an image while shooting. I wanted to try this during a family session with a toddler to see just how that might go. In this session, I primarily used a 24mm and an 85mm lens. I explored things like double exposures, shooting with prisms, twinkle lights and plastic bags. I also played with motion blur and focus. These three were troopers as they patiently waited for me to try, screw up and try again. I wish I had more time. I hope to do more of this in 2020.

I have a secret crush on Greenpoint, and the families I get to work with there.
Greenpoint, I'm a fan | brooklyn family photographer
After living in NYC for 10 years I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I've never been to this part of the city. One of the benefits I've come to appreciate about taking photos of New York families is that I find myself in neighborhoods I might never have seen otherwise. This is a cool little section of Greenpoint. Transmitter Park has piers that take you out over the river for some expansive Manhattan views. The blocks surrounding are filled with street art and textural, industrial scapes. And there's a great bookstore with good finds for little ones. I might want to move here.
