I am primarily a Bar and Bat Mitzvah photographer, but I also focus on portraits of children and families, corporate and social networking head shots, and special events. As a photographer, I work closely with my clients to capture the emotion of their event and provide lasting memories. My drawings are another integral part of my creativity, and have been a passion for many years.Nili Yelin, The Storybook MomMy passion for words, spoken and written,has influenced everything I do.
My favorite poet, Emily Dickinson,(my daughter, Emily, is named for her) wrote, That is my motto. I feel like my love of kids, music, dance,
theatre and books, books, books, have all come together
in creating The Storybook Mom. It somehow chose me and
sharing stories with children has given more back to me
than I could ever begin to give them.You could say the story is writing itself. www.storybookmom.com Facebook/The Storybook Mom
