This beautiful boy is my nephew, my godchild, my sister's first born. His birth was my introduction to the enormity of love you can feel for a sibling's child. I did these pictures a few months ago, so the boy has been wondering when he'll see himself on "Mijola", a little dose of celebrity for which I think he's waited long enough.....so to him I send...love, love, love, big hugs and tons of kisses... : )

This baby is beautiful. Just the sweetest, gentlest creature imaginable. She charmed me from the first frame. We shot at the Museum of Natural History, a location that I hold very dear because I lived nearby and spent untold hours with my son playing there in his first 18 months of life before I got pregnant again and left Manhattan. Since then, they've added and updated quite a lot. We began outside at the sprinklers which were deserted because of the wind. It eventually proved too much for us, too, so we ducked inside for a wardrobe change and more shooting. What I really wish in retrospect was to have her in the buff because she has the most incredible porcelain skin- the few I got with her just in her diaper while her mom was changing her are some of my favorites. What a pleasure!!!

Oh, my goodness, this was the most amazing shoot. Three brothers, and how can I describe it? Do you think these guys wanted to be in dress-up clothes, in church, showing each other love and affection and posing for the camera? I think NOT. We had one guy who was the ultimate Tasmanian devil, I am telling you he did not STOP for more than 30 seconds at a time. I was thinking "I'm going to get Z-I-P" here!!!" But, somehow, we pulled it off. And these boys have some of the most amazing eyes! Just jet-black and twinkling with impish delight. Boyhood itself, in my view. Totally frogs and snails and puppy dogs tails. I am in LOVE with these boys. And my little devil? I got him: yes, he's laying on the floor of the church. More on these guys later, for SURE.

These are three of the most precious little girls on the planet. They are very close in age to my own three and it amazed me how different the dynamics were between them being all girls. It was all giggles! I hit it off with them right away and we had SO much fun. The two shots where they are standing at the brick wall are some of my all time faves. How sweet they look in the straight shot, but how cute and real is the next one? What beauties they are...and I can only imagine what their house will be like about 10 years from now!!! 

Brooklyn Photographer Price Information

Price Information*

I am currently offering rights-released image packages. This means you hire me to shoot for a specific time frame, and then I provide you with "digital proofs" (low resolution images unsuitable for printing) on a flash drive that you provide me with. You choose your images based on your package, that I will color correct, do basic retouching on, and generally enhance to be print ready. I will then send them to you via email, with permission for unlimited personal use. 

You can use any photo service you wish, from Costco to your neighborhood photo finisher or one of the online services like Shutterfly.  Print them any size, make collages,  photo books, canvases. give as gifts, make digital frames, whatever you want.....forever!!! Or, for best quality control.... I can get your prints done with my own custom printer on the highest quality papers at very reasonable rates with outstanding, artful results.  

Depending on my shooting volume, I can usually get you your proofs in 10 days or less from the day of our shoot. If you need help or advice- don't hesitate- I have lots of resources and ideas to get you exactly what you want from our shoot. "Like" me on Facebook to be in the loop on my current specials.
