I love when families come to NYC and want to celebrate their visit in a special way. That’s what this North Carolina family did recently. Way back when, these parents lived here for a number of years when they started out in their careers. Years later as they raised their kids in the South, they passed on their love for the Big Apple to their children. Now, with their graduating Senior…New York City was calling them back. It was the only destination they envisioned for their son - for his special Senior Portraits. We certainly hit it out of the park - these senior and family portraits are EPIC. And I am so honored that I was the one to record all the love and happiness.
I adore the toddler stage. Kids, at this age, are so curious…exploring everything around them. They are also so expressive…quick to smile, laugh and cry. Everything is new to them as they take the world in. I am so lucky and honored to photograph these early sweet moments in their lives and all those that love them.
I love photographing the same families year after year. It’s like we grow up together….my business matures and so do my clients’ kids. And when they move from Manhattan or Brooklyn to the suburbs - I hope that our relationship continues on. Luckily that is what happened with this awesome family. I have photographed them for almost 10 years. So when they moved from Brooklyn to a charming NJ suburb - they did not hesitate to call me for their next family portrait session. And I did not hesitate to make a visit to their new home. These are my people and I am forever grateful!
When I lived in Washington, DC in the late 2000s, I discovered and learned to adore Huntley Meadows Park located in Alexandria, VA. When this Northern Virginia family told me that they wanted to meet me there for their family session, I jumped at the chance. It has boardwalks, meadows, lush greenery and low-key hiking trails. And with this crew, we had an absolute blast!
It’s so nice to connect with a family and grow along with them. I have been photographing these two precious boys since they were born. Every year, our photography session captures their newest stage in their childhood. Years from now, their parents will have so many beautiful visual memories of these special time in their lives.
