This thoughtful mother reached out to me to take some special family portraits before her eldest daughter was to go off to college for the first time. Throughout the session, this lovable family laughed so easily and embraced each other so beautifully. Special portraits were captured, amazing memories created….mission accomplished indeed.
Cobble Hill is a wonderful neighborhood to photograph in. Its full of character - the gorgeous brownstones, iron gates, blooming flowers, greenery and countless families. This family, in particular, is an integral part of my Brooklyn life and community. I met them over 8 years ago when I moved into their apartment building. My children has grown up with their child - our families, with others, getting together for special occasions, BBQs and Superbowl parties. They are kind, caring and loving. Its a better world with them in it.
Its a funny thing when you have known someone since high school and then 25 years later - their oldest child is a freshman at that same high school. That’s the situation I found myself to much amusement. Are we that old already? Really? Thankfully we are that much wiser and with a whole lot of character and life experienced. For this fantastic woman and mom, she has a wonderful marriage to a true partner and 3 children to be proud of. She is living the fabulous life filled with love, connection and adventure. She has so much to be thankful for.
This family loves the annual tradition of capturing this specific place in time with their family - the kids are growing so fast! Everyone in the family loves having these special captured moments and looking at these photographs throughout their home. As much as i-phone photos are convenient - it doesn't compare to the special-ness of professional family portraits. For Mom and Dad, the relationship between their kids is simply amazing...they are in love and it's so beautiful to watch the relationship grow. Their family's love is unique and contagious. I wish this love and happiness for all the families that I photograph.
When this girl's mom hired me....all she wanted me to do was to capture her daughter's special-ness. She regrets not getting more professional photographs of her daughter when she was born now that her little girl is 2 1/2 years old. She's growing like a weed and is now making up for lost time. Mom wanted to use this session to shine a light on to her amazing daughter's sweetness and to see how her personality is captured on film. This mother and daughter team are truly inseparable and she wanted to capture this specific time to remember always.
I had the great pleasure of meeting this special and lovely family through a fantastic preschool in Bed Stuy. This superman of a little boy is quite unique. He has the women in his life wrapped around his finger and for good reason. That smile....that laughter....that twinkle in his eye....All was in full display this beautiful morning over Memorial Day weekend in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Memories captured for a lifetime!
