Can I just say how much LOVED this session!  I loved everything about it – from the beautiful family (there is a great story behind them) to the amazing location to the wonderful weather and bright colors!

I first met these guys 3 years ago when it was just this beautiful Mom and RJ.  This Mom wanted to capture a new chapter in their lives and their special connection.  We laughed and had a great time at their photoshoot and got beautiful images – that this Mom used as her profile pictures on FB for years to come:)

Now fast forward to this summer when I get a call from a gentleman who said that he wanted to surprise his wife with a photo session for her birthday (a photo session makes a wonderful gift !) and that he chose me because I’d photographed her and her son in the past.   He was L.’s new husband and I liked him right away because of the thoughtful gift he chose for her birthday.  But then I met him in person and liked him even more – he is funny, easy going, has great taste in clothing and it is obvious how much he loves L.!

I cannot say how happy I was to meet two new men in L.’s life – her wonderful new husband and her adorable baby boy and to capture this new wonderful chapter in their lives! Being a family photographer I cannot but get emotionally involved and connected with every family I photograph: I worry when I hear about illnesses and rejoice when I hear about new births, weddings and new and exciting chapters in peoples lives.  And being there to capture these new exciting chapters, seeing new babies being born, watching babies turn into toddlers and toddlers turn into big boys and girls makes me happier than I can express in words!

So enjoy these images from a family photo shoot we did in the city – in their new neighborhood in the heart of Greenwich Village and in Soho.  I absolutely loved photographing them – seeing them all together, happy and so in love made my heart sing and I think I had a smile on my face throught their whole photoshoot.  And even though I’ve seen these images many time they make me smile every single time I see them:)
