FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY CLOSE TO HOME

Your family, right here in Riverdale.

I’m based in Riverdale and photograph families throughout the neighborhood, the Bronx, New York City, and nearby Westchester.

Sessions can happen at home, on your block, or somewhere your family loves to spend time. There’s no need for everyone to know exactly what to do in front of the camera. I’ll give you gentle direction when you need it, make room for kids to move and play, and photograph the connection and personality that happen along the way.

BEHIND THE CAMERA

A Riverdale photographer, parent, and calm presence behind the camera.

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

I photograph families here in the neighborhood and throughout the Bronx, New York City, and nearby Westchester, and I love being able to work close to home — in familiar parks, on neighborhood streets, and in the spaces where families actually live.

I’ll give you enough direction to feel comfortable, then leave room for your family to move, play, connect, and just be together. I’m always watching for the things that happen in between: the hand reaching for yours, the full-body laugh, the quiet look, the toddler making a break for it.

The goal is never to make your family look perfect. It’s to make photographs that feel like yours.

WHERE I WORK

Based in Riverdale, photographing families across New York City and nearby Westchester.

Most sessions take place in Riverdale, the Bronx, Manhattan, and nearby Westchester, either at home or in a location that already feels meaningful to your family.

If you have a favorite park, neighborhood, apartment, backyard, or family gathering place, I’m always happy to build the session around it.
