You are out for the summer in the Hamptons. The days are warm and long, your family is relaxed and enjoying all the summer activities. It’s a great time for a family portrait session. What about choosing a location that feels very much like the Hamptons and isn’t the ocean?

I have four special places that work well for family portraits with children of all ages and sizes. These are “secret spots” that I have located that have everything we need for a great Hamptons family portrait setting: beautiful lush greenery and lovely light. And the best part is that we are usually the only people there!

Here are some portraits taken at some of my “secret” Hamptons locations: A Secret Garden, A Private Horse Farm, A Hidden Farm Stand, A Remote Island:

Wedding proposal photography offers a new dimension to traditional wedding coverage. Each is unique and specific to the couple and offers a new dimension to documenting one of the most significant events in your life.

The most common scenario: The boyfriend calls well in advance with a plan in mind. Usually the plan includes some aspect of how they met or how they like to spend time together. We discuss logistics and how I can remain inconspicuous.

The latest proposal required a map. When the couple arrived, I was already in place pretending to photograph my assistant. As the couple passed, I took some candids of them. I then moved my pretend subject closer to the ocean and the designated “X marks the spot”. The couple returned from their walk and arrived at our imaginary “X”. He dropped to one knee and made his proposal. She was completely surprised and there was much hugging and kissing.
