Reflection. Saturday selfie with some besties. #nyc #lincolncenter
October is the best, don’t you think? I’m in the space lately of “right now is the best” so that’s part of it.

Back in the late ‘90’s I was working on independent films in NYC on set as a Stills Photographer. The pay was low the hours were long and the crews were amazing. Highly skilled professionals just making shit work. It was a blast. And you’ve never heard of most of the movies I was on.
With non union sets, they could pull a still photographer for a day here and there with no commitment, so if someone of note was expected for a cameo, they’d need stills.
This day was star studded and I knew about André as well as anyone who ever picked up a fashion magazine in the ‘80s or ‘90s. It was clear that he brought his own wardrobe, as he swept onto set wearing a white fur coat with a train. For a dinner scene. André Leon Talley would have been 76 today. ✨#setlife #independentfilm #productionstill
How about this crew!?
I’m loving my time in the orchard shooting Magic Hour Portraits this past month. If you are thinking about a session, call me. I will encourage you to document yourself in this moment. Use it as a chance to stop and enjoy life right now.
These four danced and laughed … and I’ll share more from their gorgeous session in the coming days.#stopandsmelltheroses #familyportrait #legacyportraits#woodstockny #redhookny #hudsonvalley #catskills #julietlofaro
Magic hour in an orchard. Catskill Mountain views.
Autumns past and present. Foliage sessions are fleeting, but they come with the opportunity to create something timeless. #woodstockny #playoutside #legacyportraits #julietlofaro #hudsonvalley #redhookny
Magic Hour Sessions are coming up this fall!
What is it? A dreamy evening photography session in the apple orchard at Greig Farm in Red Hook. For you, you and your friends, family, or even if it fits for a business portrait.

A couple of more images from @zoey.brady’s shoot. During a consultation with another high school senior this week, the new client said she liked how you can see Zoey’s power in these photos.
Yes I want you to look good, but I’m always digging for something deeper in a portrait session. This made me smile. #seniorsession #woodstockny #redhookny #catskills #husdonvalley
This session with @gabe_martindale_ was one of those easy collaborations. He saved very contrasty images that played with shadows and light as inspiration for his shoot. I wanted to use Euronutz garage on 212 as a location for some time now, and he loved the idea when I brought it up in our design consultation.
We began at the studio organizing wardrobe and planning the looks. There were strips of sunlight streaming in, so we started there with some drama. Then to the grounds of the auto repair shop.
The beauty of working with clients this way allows for a portfolio with a variety of looks. This experimentation, in turn, helps them explore how they want to represent themselves both personally and professionally. More to come : )

Summertime around here. Monday morning began up Overlook Mountain, and after work we explored the grounds of Montgomery Place. Isn’t it beautiful? #hudsonvalley #catskills #lovewhereyoulive #playoutside #iphonefun
