The Eyes Have It - Brooklyn & Catskills Children's Photographer

Eliezer is another repeat visitor to our studio. With his stunning eyes and blond curls, he's a photographer's dream.

Shmueli's Upsherin - Brooklyn & Catskills Children's Photographer

Shmueli came in for his Upsherin portraits last week. He's a real character with tons of personality.

A Studio Veteran - Brooklyn Upsherin Photographer

Aaron has been to the studio a few times before. This time he was in for pre-Upsherin portraits. He still doesn't give a smile up easily, but we managed to trick some out of him. Mazal Tov!

Brothers - Brooklyn and Catskills Children's Photographer

Lipi and Leiby were in for Leiby's upsherin portraits. Lipi is a veteran of our studio. With a little pursuasion and lots of bubbles, we managed to convince Leiby that being photographed is not all bad.

Baby Doll - Brooklyn Children's Photographer

Eight month old Gitty is a living, breathing baby doll. An absolutely beautiful baby!

Curls, Curls, Curls - Brooklyn and Catskills Children's Photographer

I'm totally in love with Yossi's curls. I can't imagine cutting those off. Yossi is a great big brother to little Shmuli. Mazel Tov!

Adorable Baby Girl - Brooklyn and Catskills Children's Photographer

Despite our best efforts (Mr. R., if you're looking for a day job...) we couldn't really get too many smiles out of baby Racheli. She's sweet as can be, though, at only 3.5 months old.

Sweet Smile - Brooklyn & Catskills Children's Photographer

Aliza was a little shy during her session, but we did get some smiles from her! I love the red outfit in the outdoor setting.

Picture-Perfect Upsherin Boy - Brooklyn & Catskills Children's Photographer

I thoroughly enjoyed photographing Solly's pre-upsherin portraits. He's gorgeous and has the perfect curls. Mazel Tov!

Sisters! - Upstate NY Children's Photographer

Reizy and Esti are a beautiful pair of sisters. They were both super cooperative during our outdoor photo session. I was glad I got to meet them before they move back to Israel next week.

One of my Favorite Families - Upstate NY Family Photographer

This beautiful family of five are steady visitors to our studio. We did a beautiful formal portrait this winter, and now did a casual outdoor portrait.
