I have been celebrating milestones, and the moments in between, with families in and around New York City for almost 20 years!
A mom to two teenagers, I know first hand that life happens way too fast. While we are thrilled with each and every new adventure and achievement, wouldn't it be nice to freeze time and hold onto some of the ages and stages just a little bit longer?
That's where I come in! Sit back, relax and let me tell your story. Together we will create images that will fill your home and your heart with seasons of love.
I look forward to meeting you!

My daughter just graduated from the University of Michigan - Go Blue!
My son is a High School Senior - I am not ready to be an Empty Nester!
Yes! Our Goldendoodle was named after Miley Cyrus. She was the best! Our new rescue puppy is insane. Her name is Bailey.
Because we take so many, we have family selfie positions.
I am proud to say I am from Staten Island.
I still have a schoolgirl crush on Jon Bon Jovi.
Beware! I randomly break into show tunes.
I am a Jets fan living in a Giants world.
I can recite every word of the movie Almost Famous.
Nutella is my kryptonite. I cannot even have it in my apartment.
My biggest pet peeve is when people spell the word stationery wrong.

Not every stage of life is pretty but with Jennifer we have the most beautiful moments of each and every one. She has a relaxing manner that brings out the most beautiful you, even when the kids are pulling each others hair out.
Emily
If I could hit rewind, I would have met Jennifer before my kids were born. then I would have an entire lifetime of beautiful memories instead of just one decade. She captures the beauty, love, energy and mood of everyone she turns her lens towards whether in the chaos of an event or at a posed session.
