FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY IN NEW YORK + NORTHERN VIRGINIA

Photographs of the people you love, in the years that move too quickly.

The big smiles, but also the in-between.
Capturing light, colors and love.

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Portraits of the people, moments, and stories you never want to forget.

Couples

Engagements, anniversaries, grandparents, teenage best friends — any two people with history, connection, and lots of love between them.

Little Personalities

Portraits that capture who they are right now — the missing teeth, the favorite dinosaur, the tutu they won't take off, the shy smile, the wild energy, and all those faces you know and love.

Families

A little direction, plenty of movement, and room for your family to be yourselves. The big smiles, the belly laughs, the snuggles, and all the wonderfully unpredictable moments in between.

Newborn photographed with family

Newborns

Quiet, unhurried photographs of your first days together. Tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, new routines, and the details that already feel impossible to imagine forgetting.

Maternity portrait

Maternity

The quiet last weeks before everything changes — the growing belly, the gentle waiting, and the anticipation of who is about to join your family.

Family celebrating a milestone

Milestones

Birthdays, anniversaries, simchas and the days that gather your favorite people together. Photojournalism-inspired — capturing candid moments, real connection, and a little guidance when it helps.

BEHIND THE CAMERA

A calm presence, a little direction, and plenty of room to be yourselves.

Hi, I’m Alex — a photographer, actor, and mother of two.

I love the big smiles, but I’m always watching for what happens in between: the hand reaching for yours, the full-body laugh, the quiet look, the toddler making a break for it.

I’ll give you enough direction to feel comfortable, then leave room for your family to move, play, connect, and just be together. It may be funny, tender, a little chaotic — but that is usually where the magic is.

Thank you for letting me into your world and trusting me to photograph your family as you are. The big smiles and all.
