Capture the everyday moments that mean so much, the moments that reveal your child's true nature.

At Saving Grace Photography, your session will be tailored to your child's personality and expressive nature. I love working with children and appreciate that each child is more than a forced grin captured before a fake backdrop.

You will never have to rush to a studio with an unhappy child. I will come to you and your child will be photographed in a relaxed and comfortable environment.I specialize in finding the perfect outdoor locations around New York City that are especially suited to your child's age.

      Does your child like to play, but has difficulty interacting with and getting along with peers?
      Or, does your child have trouble with solving conflict at school and learning self-control? Research shows that children who gain positive social skills early on have a significant impact later in life.
      Play therapy social skills groups are now forming for Pre-K & Elementary aged children. LEAPSS & BOUNDS, which stands for Learning Encompassing Art, Play, & Social Skills and Blending Our Unique Needs in Developing Success is a unique, fun, and child-centered group which combines peer-age and skill-matched children with innovative, creative learning through play.
      A great way for your child to meet other children and gain valuable skills that will help them succeed in school & life!
