Long Island Family Photographer is the best job!
I spent the last weekend of fall foliage photographing Maureen, John, and (little) John at Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay, NY. Our family session started off slow, as 2 year old John had just woken up from his nap. When photographing family sessions, I always start off nice slow and with no complicated poses. My goal is to get your family comfortable being photographed. So, at the start of our family session I capture a lot of candid moments (not posed photos); everyone walking, playing, talking, and being yourself. And then, throughout the session, I add suggestions and posing ideas.
Finding a place to photograph a family on Long Island can be a challenge. Many places charge photographers. They require photographers to buy costly single use permits. Oyster Bay's Sagamore Hill does not.
Long Island has countless parks, waterfront views, walking paths, and scenery. However, like much of Long Island, many places are often crowded and busy. Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay is a true gem because of its open spaces, natural meadows, and slightly out of the way location. These characteristics make it a great place to photograph a family.
