We finally have the dates for our May trip to Cleveland and Boston! Yahoo! I am booking sessions in Cleveland May 15-27 (save for Jonah’s med school graduation May 16 – another yahoo!!), and I’ll be scheduling a few sessions in Boston May 27-30.
Contact me to book a session, and please pass this info on to anyone who might be interested 
(thank you!). Gift certificates are also available.
Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces (and new ones!). 🙂

Yafo is one of my favorite spots in the Tel Aviv area, maybe in Israel. It’s an amazing combination of ancient history new design, art galleries in narrow, steep alleyways and stunning views of the Mediterranean… just gorgeous and fun. There’s also the flea market, packed with people and cafes (as usual around here) and tons of great finds (most of which I had to avoid checking out too closely because there is no way to bring funky patterned chairs and vintage dressers home).
Here are a bunch of photos from our day in Yafo, starting with the flea market:
Where’s Waldo (i.e. E) at the flea market…
More E at the flea market, posing in a chair I really wanted to bring home for future portraits. Oh, and note his adorable Beatles outfit (thanks on his behalf, Molly!) and organic Baby Star jeans:
A super cute children’s/houseware store (photo taken for our friend Erin – I envisioned her accenting their possible future child’s room with this kind of stuff but thought it inappropriate to buy anything in anticipation…)
Gorgeous handmade leather shoe shop:
Random antiques:
I just love the colors in this one:
Loved this tree:
Stav and E:
More colors at the flea market:
And finally some of old Yafo:
Not a shabby view from this restaurant…
And one last shotof Dana and E overlooking Tel Aviv from Yafo:

Strolling by Tel Aviv beach yesterday (on my mom’s birthday), which is two blocks from the apartment, I snapped some shots that reminded me of my parents’ photos from the ’70s.
And our little man:

It’s 2am, and I’m stuffed silly from a really delicious and fun Passover seder…
So just a quick post of E at the Dead Sea – and yes, it looks like it could be one of many bodies of water, but note the floating man in the background of the left-hand shot:

YAY! I can’t believe we are a few hours from being en route to Israel. We haven’t been since 2007, and this time, my sister, brother-in-law, and little E are temporary residents – and we’ll all be staying together in our own apartment in Tel Aviv. I am craving that energy of Israel as well as the 24/7 time spent with my family (yep, that’s right) and the two-week vacation I’m so ready for.
Before I go, I’ve been wanting to post some photos from the Stulberg family session (i.e., my sister’s in-laws, although that sounds like they’re more removed from us than they are). We’ll be seeing them in Israel in a few days!
Warning – it’s a long one…
First, I cannot wait to squish this guy tomorrow:
and these three Tel Aviv-ians:
Grandparents Bubbie and Zadie with grandsons Nathan and E:
And just Zadie with his boys (who appear to be annoyed by each other):
And check out Zadie with the boys at one and two weeks old.
And Bubbie:
And her photo with the newborns.
Ben and Nathan:
Jonah and E (in the I’m happy! Hand – must – go – in mouth pose.)
And E loving Uncle J’s Sox hat (which is coming with us to Israel):
Some love from Uncle Ben (hee – love that E has an Uncle Ben and an Uncle Sam):
A snuggle from Bubbie:
And lastly, because I want in on the love, I’m reposting this shot of me and E:
Next post will be from Tel Aviv!

Not too long ago, I posted a preview of Marcia’s birthday family session. I’ve now gone through and edited all of their images, and I wanted to share some of my favorites of just the kids. I’ll add more family shots soon, but these three – Cadence, her brother JT, and their cousin Brian – were so super cute they needed their own post.
Cadence, the budding model:
Brian, also not so bad at modeling. I’ve photographed this guy a bunch, and this was the first time I think he really got what was happening. He totally posed for this, leaning to the side and putting his hands in his pockets…
Cadence and JT in one of my favorite shots of the session:
“Silly faces now.” Done. (Well, except for Brian, but the poor boy had really bad allergies.)
And the trio being adorable together:
This was a family session meant to be focused more on the larger group and individual families, but when the three little ones got in front of the camera, I couldn’t help it. They were naturals and so much fun. I’d say that I hope I can photograph them again one day, but I know that I will! Brian is a regular. 🙂

I think it’s a combination of the black and white and my subjects that inspired me in working with Alexander’s photos. As I mentioned in the preview, Christina loves black and white photography. I rarely get to use black and white so much in sessions with little ones, but it added a dimension that I love… I feel that their images are a journalistic snapshot of their lives together. Not that color photos don’t document moments beautifully, but black and white just manages to tell a story really well – without any distractions. I had fun with the license Christina gave me to go with it for almost all of their photos. Also, both Christina and Brad had ideas of some shots they wanted – and they were flexible to let me guide them as well. Of course, some smiles from Alexander and parental smooches never hurt a photo session, either.
I thought Alexander had some sweet moments alone with his parents, so I created a collection for each:
Alexander and Christina:
Alexander and Brad:
Some of the family and just the little guy:
And my favorite family shot of the session:
Lastly, I found this shot I took of him with E when they were brand new peanuts. At the time, the 2-week age gap seemed so huge… I think they both look very different from their newborn selves but still, of course, ridiculously edible. (I don’t think E even registered that Alexander was right in front of his face. Now he grabs at Alexander and tries to eat him.) 🙂

Sending love (halfway across the world) to E, who’s 7 months today. 16 days and counting…
(Look at his foot – I can’t handle how cute it is.)
E at 6 months, 5 months, and 4.5 months.

I photographed 4.5-month-old Nolan toward the end of my Cleveland trip. Such an easygoing model! He was so cooperative, and his mom Kari had the cutest outfits ready for him.
Here’s a preview of Nolan’s session.
Check out this amazing hat, his teeth (yes, teeth – he had four of them at 4.5 months!), and that great expression. This is one of my favorites:
Happy, ridiculously blue-eyed boy:
Superman likes his feet:
And lastly, another favorite. Kari suggested this one, and I love it. Sweet (and kind of funny, considering he wants to gnaw on her) moment.

I love repeat clients for a few reasons. Of course, it’s nice to work with people you’re familiar with. I get to know their personalities – as well as what they’re looking for – which generally makes for a laid-back shoot. And, especially when working with little ones, they’re usually more comfortable with me and my camera aimed at them. Although it’s unlikely that Ella remembered me from her 4-month session, I felt like I knew her well, and her mom Laura and I had a relaxed, fun time with her shoot.
I also like to see how the babies change in just a few months. Ella is now sitting on her own, has two little teeth, and is rolling over like she’s been doing it her whole life. 😉
Here’s a preview.
I love Ella’s expression here – and that belly, and those thighs… So cute.
We took a bloomer shot like this before, so we thought we’d take another:
We also took Ella outside for some fall photos in November, and since this session was on a beautiful, snowy day, we tried again… Apparently, she likes snow!
This last preview photo is of little Ella’s first taste of snow (It was also her first snowman… well, his head.):
Looking forward to watching Ella grow! 🙂
