This photograph was taken on Long Island at Smith Point Beach on a nice sunny day. People were feeding the deer and I was there at the perfect time. I caught this deer family photo as they were on their way over to my car for some food. It shocks me how friendly these deer were to me taking food right out of my hand, it was a very fun time. This location is amazing to take photographs at weather its summer, fall, winter, and spring.

"We came to Long Island for a military retirement ceremony, this was our first time here and this cottage was perfectly located. Close to Islip airport, short drive to Port Jefferson for the ceremony, and close enough for a day trip up to the Hamptons and Montauk. The cottage itself was wonderful. Perfect amount of old and new. The landscaping and property made it feel very private."
