Catskills Vacation Family Photos

Seems like a no brainer, right?
 

You and your family, on a peaceful getaway upstate in the Catskills. You're all together, feeling good. 

It only makes sense to turn this trip into a lasting memory.

Beautiful in every respect.

Of course the Catskills and Hudson Valley are beautiful and scenic, but we are going to be capturing more than just scenery.
 
As a lifestyle family photographer, my specialty is capturing genuine connection, and what's more beautiful than that?

gift shops.

 

What's better than a kitschy mug or generic keychain? How about a custom 8x8 photo album, to commemorate your vacation? In addition to all of your photos as digital downloads, my family vacation package includes a custom, pro-grade photo album, so you'll be able to relive your mountain adventure whenever you feel like it.

Hey I'm Jill! 

I've been photographing New York families for over ten years now, and I can honestly say I love my job! 

I prioritize creating honest photos of families being them. My number one goal is to create a visual time capsule for you.

The photos we create together are for you, but they're also for the people that love you. These images will serve as bits of proof that you were here, you loved, and people loved you back.

My Mission

To create honest photographs that feel nostalgic and true.

To collaborate with families rather than reshape them.

To celebrate and represent people of every race, ethnicity, body type, ability, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, and family structure.

All humans are welcome here.
