In the fall, Long Island is a-buzzing with family photographers snapping away. However, one of the biggest challenges we face, as professional Long Island family photographers, is where to photograph and not have other people in our photos or have to pay large permit fees. The farms out East are beautiful, but they’re a drive and they are always super busy. Luckily, for Nassau County families, there are a few beautiful, not crowded, and close places, which are great for taking family photos.
Morgan Memorial Park in Glen Cove is a little known secret to North Shore Long Island photographers like myself.
Photographing annual family photos with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents is a timeless gift you can give your kids.
Today’s session was our 4th annual family photo outing. Every year, this Long Island family does a full family session when the foliage hits peak, and it’s amazing to see how much everyone changes in just a year.

Photographing Multi-generation Family Sessions
It’s one thing to have your immediate family photographed by a professional family photographer. It’s another when everyone is involved from grandma and grandpa to aunts, uncles, and cousins. In 5 years, 10 years, or 50 years, or even in one single year, these photos will act as a time machine transporting you back. After the past year, when we couldn’t see one another, the photos on our phones and the printed photos around our homes reminded us of the happier times, of the ones we love, and of all the amazing moments we have shared together.
