From the quiet intimacy of maternity, where a mother cradles the new life within her, to the newborn's soft breaths and tiny fingers  —

As the first year unfolds, every smile, every gentle gaze, and every joyful milestone becomes a symphony of love. Through the lens, these moments are immortalized, as if time itself slows to savor the beauty of this beautiful time.

 I ensure every part of your experience is special.

I am well attuned to taking care of every detail for my family, and taking care of you is no different.

With three years of experience in the industry, I've honed a luxury, full-service approach to photography that goes beyond just taking pictures – I craft memories that are designed to last a lifetime. My studio, bathed in natural light and an airy, romantic atmosphere, serves as the perfect backdrop for capturing the essence of your journey.

As a mother of two, I understand the profound bond that exists between a mother and her children, and it's this connection that fuels my passion for capturing the quiet, intimate moments that often go unnoticed.

Colleeen H.

She is wonderful to work with, and we are so happy with the photos that capture our family so well. We are happy to recommend Deborah!

"As brand new parents, she made it easy and seamless to schedule the session"

-Leslie

Our expectations were not only met, but surpassed. The gallery preview was delivered way sooner than expected and we absolutely loved every picture. I am hard to please, Deborah was so easy to work with and gave me many recommendations and a lot of guidance.

"I felt so comfortable and beautiful during the entire photoshoot. "

-Meredith

She was so friendly and personable the day of the shoot. She was great at making my daughter laugh and going with the flow when she was a little distracted. I couldn’t be happier with the results, which she delivered in less than a week! 

I’m so happy to have found Deborah and would recommend her to anyone!

I only take on a limited amount of sessions in New York, and want each one to have personalized and dedicated time. We will jump on a call to see if our values align.

During the session I will prompt you throughout, make you feel at ease & do whatever goofy thing is necessary to get your kids to smile. Its important to me that our session feels relaxed & fun.

Hair & Makeup will arrive to your home, and I will provide your dresses at the session. This allows you to feel confident in your appearance, and elevates the photos.

After our session we will meet virtuallly & view the possibilities for artwork. Whether that means a family album that you complete every year, or a statement piece for above your fireplace- we ill find the right fit for you.

- Meredith

She really captured such special, real moments and in such a beautiful light. She even managed to get multiple shots that included our 1 year old dog looking directly at the camera! We love to recommend her to others.

We felt so comfortable with her  - like we were talking to an old friend.

- Caroline

Both our maternity and newborn sessions were so relaxing (I never thought I’d say that about a newborn photo session) and she made me and my husband (and newborn) feel so comfortable! She feels more like a friend or sister than a professional photographer.

"We can’t wait to use Debbie for all of our family portraits going forward!"
