Summer in the Hamptons is all about gardens and farm stands, beaches and boats. And speaking of boats I am excited to announce that this year we have acquired an 18’ Marshall Catboat to use for portrait sessions on the water. This beautiful classic sailboat is named Eastern Star and follows an original design from the mid-19th century. It has a very roomy cockpit and gorgeous sloping teak sides. Plus, its beamy size ensures that it is comfortable and safe.

Going on a relaxing sail, stopping at a remote beach, and even riding in the identical sailing dingy are all wonderful opportunities for me to capture images of parents, children, couples, and even grandparents interacting and having fun. Eastern Star promises a uniquely enjoyable photography session. And the finished portraits really evoke the feeling of the Hamptons in the Summer. Here are some samples:

I am very fortunate to not only be a Hamptons photographer, but a Palm Beach photographer as well. This past winter I while I was working in Palm Beach, the Mezoff family scheduled a portrait session for their beautiful 1-year old daughter. This child is a uniquely cheerful, happy baby. I say uniquely because so many children at that age can be grumpy, often due to the pain and discomfort of teething.

I noticed that the baby was wearing a very lovely necklace. Her mother, an acupuncturist, told me that it was an “amber necklace” and it’s used to help teething babies. Her daughter had worn it from an early age and never once did she fuss about teething. The photo session went very well, the baby was happy the entire time, and the photos are delightful. Here’s one of my favorites:

I did some research and discovered the website, Amber Artisans. Apparently, amber is being used to relieve the symptoms of  many kinds of things, including having happy babies for portrait sessions! Check it out!

During the first year of a baby’s life there’s something new to celebrate nearly every day. Whether it’s the first smile, the first word, or the first step, every stage provides delightful memories. To make it easy for parents to capture each of these wonderful stages, I started offering baby portrait packages a few years ago.

It works like this: we schedule 2 to 4 separate baby photo sessions during the first year at these milestones:
