There really is nothing more inspiring than seeing how much love grows through the years. Our lives are ever changing – from new careers to new family additions – and being able to document those times gives me so much joy! Family sessions are like a marker in time – they preserve all of the little moments that, looking back, you’ll cherish forever.

Samantha + Kevin’s love has blossomed so much over the past ten years together, and since their engagement at the Montauk Lighthouse, things have definitely changed! They married six years ago, and in the past several years, welcomed two beautiful children, Ryen + Aria. Their lives, although filled with new adventures and new challenges, have brought them back to the place where it all began. Nestled along the coast of Montauk, Wavecrest Resort was the perfect place to come full circle and pay homage to their Montauk roots – where Samantha + Kevin promised each other the start of an eternity. With the help of some soft summer light, and beauty of the waves crashing along the shoreline, I was able to capture the tremendous love that has ebbed and flowed, much like the ocean, since the day they first met.

Samantha, Kevin, Ryen, and Aria, I loved this day so much! Thank you for inviting me into your world and letting me capture such stunning photographs of you guys!
