This family is friends of ours and our kiddos have been going to preschool together for the last couple years.  I'm always delighted tho work with kids that I know personally because I can be extra silly. :) Another advantage to working with this family is their kids look like tiny J. Crew models. These guys are 2 and 4 just like my own littles!  Avi loves trucks and construction vehicles, and Lena likes whales and ocean things. That's Lena being a starfish on the left... And lastly, a family of starfish!! :) Looking to do a family portrait in the winter months?  We can shoot in your home, outside in the snow (kids 3+), or in one of many unique studio spaces in the city. Contact me for info!

My oldest turns 4 this week and my little lady is 2, so I finally decided on a "schedule" for family portraits in the long term.  I do impromptu portrait sessions of them all the time, but I decided it's a good idea to do an actual planned family portrait with a professional photographer (not me!!) every other year and a planned/styled session of just the kids on the alternating years.  I decided it works out well for Jeremy & me to sit out and just concentrate on the kids on alternating years.  You feel me? I rented this studio for a family in November and decided to carve out an hour for my own kiddos in the hour before my session.  I planned the outfits, etc just as I advise all of you to do! My kids are used to having their photos taken in my home studio and are usually great about it... however, being in a new place inspired some impish behavior, and these were a lot tougher than usual to capture!!  Still proud of my kiddos for being generally pretty sweet little ones and following mama's directions.  Thanks to Jeremy (dada) for helping corral them! Happy new year, and watch for many more blog posts coming soon!  I have about 20 sessions from fall-winter to blog and I hope to get it all done by the end of January. <3
