Hi, Im Vannessa, owner of Live Grow Photography. An award winning company based on Long Island, NY specializing in but not limited to maternity, newborns and portraits. As a self taught photographer I had to work hard to prove myself in this competitive industry and quickly made my mark with my unique style. Whether it be music or photography I love to create magic and express myself through my talents. With three children of my own I know how important it is for parents to have everlasting memories of their children to look back on and cherish. My love for photography has grown so much over the years and I am so thankful to everyone who has supported me on this journey. I can't wait to make more memories with each and every one of you, so come along with me in creating all things beautiful.

"Vannessa has done multiple shoots for my family and has been so great to work with between ease of scheduling and communication to the quick turnaround time, and not to mention the amazing moments she captures. From my twins’ newborn shoot, where she was so incredibly patient with my barely two week olds, to their 1 year photos where she quickly and efficiently captured them. She has given us beautiful photos that we will treasure forever"

"My experience with Live Grow Photography was amazing! Vannessa was so nice and had so much patience with my baby, she made him feel very comfortable and it shows in the pictures. During my session my baby had three outfit changes and three different settings, you definitely get your money’s worth when you book with them! I can’t wait to book again for my baby’s 1st birthday."
