I photographed Christine and John’s wedding in 1997 at Hammersmith Farm in Newport Rhode Island …

and now they have 2 beautiful sons …  we went to a favorite spot of John’s in Narragansett RI.

When I am photographing children, I love to just hang out with them to get a feel for who they are

These small natural actions are, in my mind, the most beautiful … unselfconscious and graceful.

It was a sunny 76  degrees in NYC, which was a nice break from the cold New England weather!

Coney Island  has not quite opened yet … that didn’t stop us from having a ball!!

Lauren + David at Colt State Park

Friday, May 6th, 2011

We were fortunate to have gorgeous weather for this engagement portrait

at Colt State Park in Bristol Rhode Island.

Lauren and David kept telling me how un-photogenic they were before we started …

I was very happy to prove them wrong!! Such a sweet lovely couple.

I came across one of  the first images i ever made.

I was staying at the Plaza hotel in NYC with my friend Buddy who was a filmmaker.

It was then that i fell in love with photography ….

How lucky to find a profession that fit me so well

that allowed me to live the kind of adventurous life that i needed to live.

This is another very early photograph of my sister at the beach …

With all that is happening in the world i often stop  and just rest within myself.

In these moments i am overcome by a sense of well being , a deep gratitude rises in me

and i know that i am so blessed … we are all so blessed.
