GreaterBabylon is proud to announce that top-notch photographer and West Islip resident Jennifer Mercurio will be contributing content to our news website.
Mercurio has been operating Lasting Impressions since 1993, first in East Rockaway and then in Babylon Village before moving to downtown Bay Shore in January of 2015.
A versatile photographer expertly trained at New York’s famed School of Visual Arts, Mercurio has found her niche shooting child and family portraits — especially portraits of children with special needs.
“We owe our success in special needs photography to two factors: The benefit of many years of experience and our desire to be successful for our clients,” she writes on the Lasting Impressions’ website. “A positive attitude and patience are the most important qualities for working with children with special needs.”
Mercurio moved the studio to the space at 126 East Main Street in Bay Shore specifically to better accommodate these kids and their families.
She’s also out and about in the communities of the South Shore, constantly capturing images. Look for some of those photos and more, such as special events and contests, to be published and promoted through GreaterBabylon.
GreaterBabylon offers daily community news and events coverage for the people of Babylon Village, West Babylon, West Islip and North Babylon.
It is part of the greaterlongisland.com family of websites.
