Westchester County, NY Family Photographer

Your Family’s Story, Captured Beautifully

Hi, I’m Dawn — your Westchester County family photographer. My goal is to capture the love, laughter, and little in-between moments that make your family unique. Whether it’s a relaxed outdoor session in Rye, a cozy in-home shoot in Scarsdale, or a big extended family gathering in White Plains, your photos will tell the story of you.

What to Expect at Your Session

Family sessions with me are relaxed, fun, and full of personality. I’ll guide you into natural interactions so you don’t feel stiff or over-posed. Expect giggles, cuddles, and maybe a little chaos — because that’s real life, and it photographs beautifully.

Favorite Westchester Locations

As a family photographer in Westchester County, NY, I know all the best local backdrops. Prefer something more personal? Your own home or backyard can be the perfect setting too.

Tips to Make the Most of Your Session

Coordinate, don’t match — neutral tones with one accent color always look amazing.
Book around nap and snack times so everyone is happy (especially the littles).
Bring a favorite blanket, toy, or prop to make your gallery feel even more personal.
Tell me about your family’s vibe ahead of time — shy, silly, chaotic, or calm — so I can make the session flow just right.

These years fly by (faster than your toddler on a sugar high).
