You get two of everything with twins - two cribs, two sets of clothes, a stroller that fits two. Somehow this doubling up doesn't carry over to mom and dad. The adding quickly becomes subtracting when it comes to things parents need, like - a free moment, time to shower, an hour or so of sleep. To all parents of newborns, I salute you. It's not easy. But to parents of twins, I stand humbled. You are super human.
Welcome home | brooklyn newborn photographer
One of the things I love about photographing the youngest of babies is witnessing the early days of a new family. After living one way for years, how do we add this new person with all their new stuff (literal and figurative) into our lives? It's a whirlwind - full of emotions - and I feel very lucky to be able to play a small part in making this time memorable.
Just shy of three weeks | brooklyn newborn photographer
What's the best age for a newborn session? I get that question a lot and it's a tough one to answer. So much changes in those early days. But if I was hard pressed, I'd probably say around 3 weeks. At this age, babies are still tiny but they tend to be more awake and make eye contact. Some of my favorite shots included babies gazing up at their parents or if I'm lucky - me. But every kiddo is different and unpredictable - and this is what I really love about this work. Each experience is beautifully unique.

I'm still not 100% clear on the dividing lines between Williamsburg and Greenpoint, but one thing I'm certain of, is how much I love to photograph in that neck of the woods. So yes, let's go outside with the baby! Let's go find some street scenes, let's remember the first block, the front stoop, the restaurant down the street. And then let's go inside and cuddle.
A new classic | brooklyn newborn photographer
A newborn session outside? When your first home is in Dumbo, heck yeah! In addition to small hands and early days, capturing the streets, bridges, and cobblestones of this scenic neighborhood were a big part of the wish-list. When bedtime is all the time, newborns are happy to comply with late summer evening strolls - some of the most beautiful light to be found. Hoping to get outside with more wee ones this year.
