It’s strawberry picking season, everybody…. Why is it that fruit you picked yourself always tastes better than any other kind? Last weekend we visited Von Thun Farms on their “Kids Day,” conveniently timed the day before Mother’s Day so you can pick up plenty of flowers and vegetable seedlings for Mom. The sun was shining, […]
This was one of my favorite family portrait sessions from this past holiday season. We’ve been meaning to post it on our blog for a long time! This little boy just sparkles (except when he’s being put in his stroller — you can see the expression in his eyes: “I am NOT ready to go […]
Like most photographers, I love destination weddings. A few months ago, I photographed a destination wedding, but it happened to be a destination right next door: New York City. Yoko, the bride, used to live in New York with her family. While she has moved back to Japan, New York is still a special place for […]
As many of you know, I love to bake. But I am also a very busy person. Perhaps that is why I’ve always been more inclined toward rustic-style cakes and tarts rather than fancy decorated pastries. Many “country” baked goods are relatively quick to make — and I think they taste better, too. Maybe that’s […]
I recently photographed an engagement session with a couple who are getting married in Princeton this summer. We met at the Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park in Kingston, NJ, on a blustery spring afternoon.

Apparently, […]
On our trip to Japan last week, we visited the Nakayama Buddhist temple in Takarazuka, which has twelve different mini-temples dedicated to each of the Chinese zodiac signs. It is watched over by a serene tabby cat.
This was one of our favorite places we visited on our recent trip to Japan: a restaurant on the top of a steep hill in the sleepy town of Beppu, on the southern island of Kyushu. Beppu is known for its volcanic hot springs. At this restaurant, you cook your own food in a special […]
We have been meaning to feature some of the fun family photo sessions Kyo did this past holiday season — and now spring has already sprung! So before we move on to pictures from our upcoming trip to Japan, here are some highlights from a photo shoot of two beautiful, wonderful, spirited sisters in Roosevelt […]
On March 1st, Kyo and I hiked the rock-strewn trail winding through the Sourlands Preserve, a beautiful, unspoiled forest in the middle of central New Jersey. That’s one of the things I love about New Jersey — it’s got such a terrible reputation for pollution and mobsters and industrial wreckage, and yet it is literally […]
