Clinton Hill Family Session

I adored meeting this family of four a few weeks back at their beautiful home in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. I spent the first few minutes of the session hanging with two-year-old Lucas, who was so sweet and chatty with me. Next up, I focused on his brand-new baby brother, Julian, who was one of the most alert newborns I've ever photographed! See for yourself...







We moved on to an assortment of cuddly candids with dad, mom and big brother:



And of course, some detail shots of Julian's teeny tiny features: ears and nose, fingers and toes!






We realized it had been several minutes without hearing from Lucas: we found him in the master bedroom typing casually on dad's computer.


We headed outside for some family shots in their backyard garden:




Lucas swept the patio before heading over to his little bro for some big brother lovin'. But, Julian wasn't too sure about being held by someone other than Mom or Dad...



But then, after an outfit change, we detoured to their front steps where this sweetness happened...



And this...

Last, we took off on a short stroll to the exceptionally-photogenic Pratt institute campus, located just around the block from their apartment.









Julian conked out right at the very end: what a trooper! And what a pleasureful two hours with delightful clients.

Central Park Family Session: Swedish Cottage & Gardens











This sweet family is British (currently living in New York), which automatically made me fall in love with them. And can we talk about style for a second? Obviously, Mom Lauren is stunningly gorgeous, but I almost couldn't contain myself when she and two-year-old daughter Adrienne showed up in matching leather bomber jackets. I mean...

This was such a fun and laid-back morning in late May, spent frolicking outside near the Swedish Cottage and Shakespeare Garden in Central Park. There was twirling, spinning, shoulder rides from dad and plentiful cuddles.

And that last photo up there? Final frame of the day, and easily a new personal favorite in my entire portfolio.
