Hi, I am Laura! I love taking photos of the human spirit; newborn, engagement & family sessions!

NYC Photographer specializing in Children & Family as well as headshots

I love working with families. 4 years ago I took her sister’s maternity photos and now she is getting ready for her own little one.
We actually grew up in the same town (though different years), and now she is expecting a baby boy with the same name as mine! How wild is that?!
Lately I’ve had so many moms asking for maternity sessions that look just like this, no elaborate gowns, just jeans and your favorite person.
While I absolutely love studio maternity, and creating art with stylized light and dresses, the thing I love most is creating something meaningful to YOU. I want your images to reflect who you are and your style.

Which feels most like you?
-An outdoor relaxed session like this
-A studio session
- Or a little bit of both?

Lifestyle sessions are always going to capture your kids exactly how they are. Flying and all.

How stunning is she? Also her little one is due the day after my birthday! Hooray for Virgo’s.

Do you ever just scroll and scroll and realize you never post anything anymore? Is that just me or is it everyone?

Also, do posts still show up in feeds? Or is it mainly reels? I just can’t get behind making a lot of behind the scenes reels, which is funny as an ex theatre person. But I feel like I want to be present in our sessions, and not worry about content for socials.

Well, those are my scattered thoughts on this Monday. How are you all? Is everyone still on a collective high from the Knicks game?

I know my feed is predominantly my own child lately, but I am still photographing, still capturing memories, just respecting everyone’s wishes to remain offline.

In other news, it’s Bennetts 6 month birthday. A day auspicious as it’s also my mom’s birthday. She would have loved this little guy. And spoiled him rotten. So in her honor, here he is in her garden, surrounded by ground cover from my grandmothers garden.

Life is a pendulum and we have good days and bad, good years and bad years. We experience grief and joy simultaneously. My parents never got to meet Ben, but their spirit is everywhere.

I’ve been so fortunate in this career. I remember in college, majoring in theatre and photography and getting questioned, and jeered with the jokes of “hope you enjoy that cardboard box”. But I made a life and living out of doing both!

Over the years I’ve photographed some pretty remarkable humans! Olympians (like this mom here), prima ballerinas, authors, actors, creatives, doctors, teachers, sports owners, and so many beautiful everyday families.

This isn’t a brag. I truly don’t know how I got here. But I’m thankful, and grateful to you all.

Bennett with his stuffy
(Swipe to meet Riley, our very real, very excited yellow lab who made a photo together, not realistic. A stuffy felt safer, and just as adorable)

This year I’m intentionally leaning into simplicity.
Timeless photography.
Images that let you be the focus.

During my own maternity session, I learned something unexpected about myself, I didn’t need the big dresses, even though I love them and still think they are beautiful. I wanted to see my bump. My skin. My body in that moment. And now with newborn photos, while I still love the styled setups (and my heart prop) the images I’m loving most are the close ups; his expressions, his smiles, all the silly faces. Even these photos I took on the bed (which are still posed, but feel more natural).

I’m still going to offer studio newborn, maternity and birthday milestones, but they might be more pared down. No AI, just you.

My gosh this week has been heavy. I find myself both wanting to turn off my phone but also make sure I’m bearing witness to what’s happening. In this climate we can’t say we are apolitical because everything is political. Parenting is political, photography is political, eating is political.
I find myself getting enraged by Facebook posts in local groups, but also feeling like I’ve built a community of friends and clients who align with my beliefs. So THANK YOU!
Now look at this baby with his enviable eye lashes (seriously the amount of times we think his eyes are open but it’s just his crazy long eyelashes is many). The nurses in the NICU were obsessed with him and everyone commented that grown women pay lots of money to have lashes like his.

It’s hard to believe you are going to be 2 months next week. These last 8 weeks have flown by. You are growing so much (but still fitting in some newborn clothes). Your burps are that of a grown man (and scare the crap out of the animals), you stay awake more than most kids your age (can you try to sleep a little?) and you love talking and dancing all the time, (we adore the little “oy oy oys” that you say). We love you Benny Blue.
