Bag full of tricks | brooklyn family photographer

Have you been to the Zucker Exploration Area in Prospect Park? Go.

Two shoots in one | new york newborn photographer

What do I do during a newborn shoot when the baby is being fed, changed or is otherwise occupied? If there are siblings around, there's opportunity to focus the camera on them. No siblings? Stuffed animals do in a pinch. When you're not looking, I might also raid your kitchen for Oreos. Heh, heh, you know you have some hidden somewhere.

The Send Off | brooklyn family photographer

Before their move out of the country, we took in a bit of classic brownstone Brooklyn.  A year ago we were doing this. And about a year before that, this. Best wishes for an exciting new adventure!

So have you tried Hay Rosie yet? Oh, and please schedule your next family photo shoot outside an ice cream parlor.

How about Downtown? | brooklyn family photographer

I wouldn't have thought of it. But when this family suggested their downtown Brooklyn neighborhood as the location for our session, I became crazy excited. Some really fun street art and interesting corners to discover. Highly recommend if you're looking for something urban and off the beaten path.
