THE EXPERIENCE
Long Island Family & Lifestyle Photography
I have been photographing Long Island families for over 30 years and have developed a unique ability get children not only to cooperate but also to shine – to express their true personalities. Capturing the relationship between siblings & parents, capturing how each of your children hold your heart in a very special way, I have developed a knack to learn their personalities quickly and the innate ability to get the best out of each family member…even the ones that aren’t quite up to cooperating. Whether they are shy, excited, sleepy, grumpy or scared, I can work with all and bring their best forward. I have been told I am the peace in the chaos and bring a relaxing atmosphere to each and every session.
I look forward to hearing from you and helping you capture the spirit in your family!
The Process
Your family photos tell the story of your life – they’re as personal and precious as the memories they represent. Family photography is testimony to the moments you share, not just the moments you are a part of.
My goal is to capture the unique joy and beauty of your family, and for you to enjoy every moment of your photographic journey. From start to finish I am there to navigate you through the entire process. Your Zoot Shoot experience begins with that first phone call, let’s chat soon!
01.
LET’S CONNECT
Fill out my contact form or give me a call. If I am available for your date we will set up a quick discovery call. I want to hear all about your vision for your photos and answer any questions you might have. Together we will determine the best location that fits your family and lifestyle. I will also help you decide which package best fits your vision. Because there are so many questions before a session, you will not only have my personal email, but also my cell phone number, which you are free to call or text. I am always available for questions, comments, ideas and for an opinion on an outfit.

GET READY TO HAVE SOME FUN!
It’s go day. Time to have some fun! From the moment we meet I am here to guide you through the session, making sure everyone is enjoying themselves, taking the time to get to know each of you, and observing the way your family interacts – their energy is what I most enjoy during our shoot. It helps me to make the experience more enjoyable, silly and fun, memorable for everyone involved, myself included. I truly care about my clients and what makes them tick, you are so much more to me than simply a client, you become part of my family.
03.
YOUR BEAUTIFUL IMAGES
After your photoshoot you and I will pick a date for the reveal session. I will come to your home with my Mobile Studio where you will be able to relax and enjoy a beautiful slideshow of your session. There will be tears and laughter as you view all of the special moments that were made.
04.
CHOOSE YOUR ART
Now that you have these amazing photos, what do you do with them? Well, this is where we have the opportunity to display that beauty in your home. Displaying your images preserves those memories for years. I offer a large selection of Wall Art, Fine Art Albums and Digital Images. I am possessive over my process. I know how my images should be retouched, printed, what is best for them, and I take great care to see that they are properly brought to life. I use only professional labs that offer the highest quality so that your cherished memories will be enjoyed for generations.
05.
THE FINAL DELIVERY
Now you get to enjoy your photos forever! Once your artwork comes back from the labs, I make sure it meet my high standards of quality and perfection. Once approved I’ll reach out to you and we will schedule the best time for me to personally deliver them to your home.
We had a wonderful experience with Jennifer. She was responsive, professional and very flexible in exceeding all of our wishes before, during and after the photo shoot. During the shoot itself she was truly exceptional in working with our two young children, and even managed to include our 12 week old puppy. After the shoot, she was very patient and helpful in assisting us with final photo selection, and her mobile studio was amazing! And of course the photos themselves turned out beautifully! We highly recommend Zoot Shoot photographers without any hesitation!
