Twins! | Ian & Aidan at West Harlem Pier Park

This is only the second time I have shot twins and there aren't enough props for parents of multiples! I could hardly keep up with Ian and Aidan in just the single hour we spent together at the West Harlem Pier Park. Needless to say, it is hard to imagine caring for two small children, under the age of two, simultaneously! When we finally got Ian ready for the camera, Aidan would run away {and vice versa} and it was this cycle of cat and mouse most the afternoon. Not to mention, we shot on the hottest day of the summer when the scales tipped 100'! 

Looking over the images, it was hard to decide which ones made the cut. They were all so special and the boys were pros in front of the camera. Thank goodness for the few images we managed to capture of the boys together! By far, this was one of my favorite shoots ever.  ENJOY!

Jake, Lyla and Amanda at the High Line

I've shot many times at The High Line, but this shoot with little Jake & Lyla was some what magical. I was able to catch many of those little moments that I usually have to work very hard to stage with most kids. Jake & Lyla were completely darling and I can not wait to work with them, and Mom!, again. 

Three - Generation Family Portraits in Battery Park City

After a month off the grid I am back and exited to share this summer family shoot in Battery Park City. My first shoot in Battery Park City and I discovered what an ideal spot  it is for children and families. There is so much diversity in this area with a beautiful parkway along the Hudson to cobblestone, residential streets. Emma, a girl with an infectious laugh below, was entertaining for all of us and filled with smiles!

Far Rockaway Kid Portraits | Anya & Chloe

Anya and Chloe were referred by their godmother, a close Harlem friend of mine. I had never been to Far Rockaway before so this was a great reason to go! Chloe in those little angel wings is to-die-for! And... she couldn't ask for a better big sister in Anya; patient and graceful, this family is blessed with two of the prettiest Hello Kitty spokes-kids around!
