Photosandra.com bio picture

Welcome to our Blog!

Photography can be so much more than a snapshot of a moment in time. 
We truly believe that photography is the link that binds us to our loved ones
and strengthens our memories.  We strive to make our images transcend time
by capturing your emotion, energy, and passion, creating amazing portraits that
you can enjoy today and your family will cherish forever.

Mostly we believe that photography is about love and affection and is a
great way for you and your loved ones to spend a few quality hours together
while we capture beautiful portraits.

Our style is very fluid.  Rather than focusing on one particular style,
we put all of our time and energy into getting to know who you are, so we can
capture your love story or family dynamic - everything that makes you unique.

We are excited to work with you!

Warm Regards

Sandra & Jonah

 


Max Raphaely – 8 months old – New York City

Babies, Babies, Babies are simply the cutest part of my job!! Honestly who can hold a straight face and have a bad day when you have an 8 month old baby smiling from ear to ear back at you? And boy does Max have the cutest smile ever. Always happy, always smiling and giggling and such a pleasure to be around. This baby photo shoot is part two in the series we are documenting for Max’s first year album. You can check out his first photo shoot here: Max 4 months old

Thank you Sarah and Mark for another heart warming shoot and for inviting me into your home to spent time with you all. I am sure you know by now, how much happiness Max’s wonderful personality brings to people around him including me. He is a true blessing to you both. Thank you for sharing him with us all :-)

Max, like most men I know, LOVE being fed but this photo is special for another reason as Max has just recently learned how to hold the bottle by himself!!

Baby eyelashes – One of my top 25 favorites things in the world to photograph

Yep – you guessed it – Max’s favorite toy, is not a toy at all but this bowl :-)

Baby Maclane – 2 Months old – Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York

So excited to share this super cute session with you all. I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday season and are enjoying the New Year!! For me, there is no better way to kick off the New Year than with a fun family portrait session with some new clients.

Whitney contacted me a few months ago to help her create a dreamy, soft, delicate, pink portrait shoot for her daughter Maclane who just turned two months old. It was so much fun creating this shoot with Whitney and Maclane was an absolute doll throughout wrapped up in lace, flowers, feathers, furry pink boots and pearls :-)

Thank you Mom and Dad for an inspirational shoot and for all your help in creating it. See you all in a few days!!

“Capturing the miracle of the moment we live in”

Beverly & Rob – Engagement Party turned Surprise Wedding!!

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting a very cool couple, who had the neat idea of throwing an engagement party for all their family and friends but with an added twist. About 2 hours into the engagement party, they quietly disappeared, quickly changed into a wedding dress and tux with their bridal party and sprung a surprise wedding on their family and guests. It was so much fun and definitely a moment to remember. Capturing the looks of surprise on their guests faces was hilarious and well there is nothing better than a surprise to get everyone in the party mood and this wedding was definitely ones I will remember for a long time. Truly unique, super fun and one spectacular party!! Love you guys :-)

Since Beverly & Rob were going to be hidden when the wedding started, it was super important to capture the look of surprise, confusion and excitement on their guests faces :-)

Arielle, Greg and 5 day old Boaz – New York City – Newborn Portraits

A few months ago I meet Arielle and Greg for their maternity session and since then I also met their adorable little son Boaz Daniel who was born on October 26th. He was only 5 days old when I had the pleasure of photographing him and his proud parents :-)

Arielle and Greg are absolutely adoring parents but as a couple I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and working with them. They have a wonderful connection and are super respectful of one another. You know instantly how much Greg loves his wife, both with the way he describes her and interacts with her. Arielle has on the other hand, has this amazing gift, which without words shes glances up at Greg and honestly it is the most powerful and beautiful glance I have ever experience. It even took my breath away and she wasn’t even looking at me. It’s a very special gift to be able to convey so much love without words :-)

Needless to mention, Arielle now also shares those same beautiful glances with little Boaz and well as you can see Greg is one of the proudest Dads around of his little son.

Thank you Arielle and Greg for sharing your love and life with me. It was such a pleasure to work with you both and to document this beautiful chapter in your life :-)
