Professional Long Island Headshots

I am so excited that Spring is finally here and that the weather is getting warmer. I am looking forward to taking more headshot sessions outdoors. I absolutely love the diversity of backgrounds that you can get for your professional headshots outdoors. This featured session is of a co-worker and friend of mine. Nathalie is a skating coach and an aspiring young actress. She came to me to get her headshots done. We scheduled a date and took them outside the skating rink and captured a variety of looks. Here are some of my favorites from her headshot session.

I love this photo. Sometimes you just get a great natural smile.

As much as I love doing in studio maternity photo sessions, taking maternity photos outdoors can also provide for beautiful pictures. It can also provide a variety of backdrops. This couple contacted me looking for a casual and rustic fall themed shoot. The day of their session arrived and the weather was really unpredictable. There was no rain in the forecast, however, it was raining in certain areas and not raining in others. As I was driving to meet them I was almost about to cancel the shoot. Fortunately the couple agreed to meet me at another location and we were able to still have the session. :o)

I absolutely loved the simplicity of their outfit choices. I loved Mama’s cowboy boots to!

Here are some of my favorites from their session.

NYC Wedding Photography/The Metropolitan Mod Shoot

NYC Wedding Photography/The Metropolitan Mod Shoot

NYC Wedding Photography

Your wedding day is a special day in your life, one in which you have dreamed about for many years and one in which you will look back upon and cherish. Many months of planning go into your wedding day. And there are many details of the wedding day that need to be picked which include the flowers, the cake, the decorations, the jewelry, the invitations and of course most importantly, the wedding dress.

Last month I got to be a part of the ModShoot which allowed me to experiment and get creative photos of the typical wedding day details. The shoot took place at the Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, NYC, an old building dated back to 1909 that has been transformed as a creative venue for events, weddings, shoots and films. This certainly was an amazing venue and made for a wonderful backdrop. I am grateful for the delightful vendors listed below who contributed to this fun, creative and stylized shoot.

I love this beautiful hanger provided by Black Label Decor. Perfect for hanging your bridal gown.

Isn’t this cake topper cute? Another great item provided by Black Label Decor.

These pastries certainly look yummy.

Delicious Persian pastries by Popilee Patisserie.

Pretty drinks and gourmet popcorn to!

Look at this beautiful hair piece by Twigs & Honey.
