Central Park Family Photography

It's not like the old days...now so many families are strewn across the globe, seeing each other on big holidays and family celebrations (mine included!)...so I'm always so aware of how special it is, when 3 generations actually live close enough that they can get together on a casual summer morning for pictures (and fun!).

Kids usually have a good hour in them for shoots like these, but let's be honest, after what the adults endure (piggy back rides, getting tackled, rolling in the grass, blowing bubbles,  playing hide and seek), everyone is happy for lunch afterwards! But it is so worth I would say...wouldn't you??

New York Family Photography, One Last Time!

So I photographed these guys about 6 months ago when the little guy was a real little guy! So of course I was excited to hear from mom Wendy again...but when she contacted me via email, text, AND phone, I knew there was more to this story!

They were moving to San Francisco...in a week!

And wouldn't you know, the day that we could work out best for everyone was LITERALLY the DAY they were getting on a plane to fly to other side of the country, leaving New York! Knowing myself before a flight, how I pretty much don't sleep because I'm packing until the very last minute (and this is even if we're talking about a 3 day trip), made me SOOOO incredibly impressed with these guys...and so honored! That they would want to spend the last morning with me and my cameras, photographing such a defining moment in their lives. (Not to mention the fact you guys were sooooo relaxed and chill, I want to bow at your feet in awe!)

I hope you've gotten settled in San Francisco now and that these images of your old home make you smile.

New York Family Photography, Central Park Summertime!

Well these guys are just the sweetest...photographed them back when the little guy wasn't yet walking...so when they got out of the car at Central Park, and I saw him jump out on his own 2 legs, it was like magic!

And as brothers, these 2 are incredible. When I mentioned that to mom Lindsay, she said, yes! She talks to them often about being best friends for each other, and loving each other. Ahh! How awesome is that...and it is WORKING! That is the best kind of brainwash I can possibly imagine. Maybe we should try that strategy for the entire universe!

Thanks for hanging with me y'all!
Happy summer

New York Family Photography, Central Park, but of course!

I hadn't met this family before, but as they turned the corner in Central Park heading in my direction, and the cheeriest parade of pink was coming my way, I knew it was going to be a great morning!

But don't be fooled by the pink dresses! These girls were not scared to get dirty! We dug in the dirt, climbed rocks, tried to catch bugs, and ran after bubbles...and of course who wouldn't want to do those things in a dress!

And they are so sweet together...these 3 sisters...built in friends forever. Watching the youngest soak in every moment of her 2 older sisters was really endearing too!

Thanks for a really fun morning guys!
All the best

Central Park Family Shoot

The impossible has become possible....and spring has finally sprung in NYC!!!
Was a treat to photograph a friend from college and her sweet twins!!
If you don't like reunions with people you haven't seen in ages, than a career in photography like mine might not be your calling...but if it's exciting each and every time, like it is for me, i can't think of a better way to spend your days.

Winter Wonderland Engagement Session in Central Park

The stars are aligned for these 2 because in the middle of the never ending Polar Vortex, we got a sunny beautiful few hours one Saturday!
Perfect time to dance in the snow..to celebrate life and love and all that is now..and is to come.
Congratulations Tiffany and Billy!
And thanks for inviting me to document your day.
