I walked into the cavernous Javits Center and found one of my portraits hanging giganta-size at the opening registration at the Photo Plus Expo. It truly was an honor to see it – and of […]

The request was to photograph their youngest child, the youngest of four, before his first haircut – before these striking, Botticelli curls went away. I was able to get quite a lot of portraits of this dapper young boy, and of the rest of their family, but just a quick preview for now… * […]

Animoto and Tamara’s New Series I had the chance to team up with the video creation company Animoto recently. I met up with them in New York, and we made a series of videos about … well, making a series of videos. Like a box in a box. They are entitled The Busy Parents’ Guide […]

I had a beautiful morning photographing this family of four, visiting the United States from Hanover, Germany. This was our second family photography session – the last one was actually four years ago, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, when they were merely a gorgeous family of three.
