Beautiful fall hues provided a seasonal landscape for the Mota Family shoot in the Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters. The park had the most beautiful views of the Hudson River and I'm already planning my own shoot there next fall. The Mota's, well, as you can see, were a lot of fun and up for anything. It always feels special to be documenting lifelong New Yorkers and this lovely couple grew up nearby in the neighborhood and are now raising their son, Kai, there too.
Continuing on with my Queens tour last month, I visited Thomas, just 5 weeks old at his Whitestone residence. Isn't he the most darling little Santa you've seen?!
I had never been to the Queens Botanical Garden before but I am glad Emma and her parents invited me there to capture her delicious little face contrasted again the beautiful fall foliage.
Sylvia is Saundra's big sis, and Saundra, well, she just happens to be one of my longstanding buddies from my adolescent years. Yeah, that's right, we go way back to the mid-nineties.
It's so crazy to see us all grown up, with growing families and such, and with the saturated photo market, I feel so flattered that friends near and far chose me to document these fleeting moments of parenthood. With the holidays around the corner, Sylvia and Mike wanted to get a few good shots with little Nicholas for their holiday mailing. Enjoy!
