FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY IN RIVERDALE, THE BRONX + NEW YORK CITY
Warm, artful photographs with gentle direction, real connection, and room for all the beautiful unpredictability in between.
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY CLOSE TO HOME
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.
Engagements, anniversaries, grandparents, teenage best friends — any two people with history, connection, and lots of love between them.
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.
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.
Quiet, unhurried photographs of your first days together. Tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, new routines, and the details that already feel impossible to imagine forgetting.
The quiet last weeks before everything changes — the growing belly, the gentle waiting, and the anticipation of who is about to join your family.
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
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.
KIND WORDS FROM FAMILIES I’VE PHOTOGRAPHED
“Alex made the whole experience feel effortless. She gave us just enough direction without making anything feel posed, and somehow captured every child’s personality—including the moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The photographs feel joyful, honest, and completely like us.”
— The Silver Family

WHERE I WORK
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.
