Events are especially beloved by photographers who have a journalism background (like us!), for they keep us on our toes and bring about surprising captures and challenges.

Saying goodbye to a beloved home is always hard, but we love that this family will always have these photos around their beach house in Far Rockaway to smile back on. Looking at these photos, it’s easy to see that their happy place is in their hearts.

Working with families multiple times is one of the best parts of our work. ilir had photographed this toddler when she was a newborn, and he also returned to photograph the family’s second child. This little girl turned out to be an incredibly sweet big sister.
