I'll admit, I have a soft spot for sessions that are held at home. Incorporating a family's daily environment, where so much time is spent, adds a layer of meaning to photos that aim to capture "who we are right now." NYC has no shortage of interesting and beautiful locations, but sometimes the most interesting and most beautiful are the playroom, the kitchen, the front steps, the street you live on, etc. I photographed this family after they moved from Brooklyn to their new home in The Rockaways. We also made it to the beach down the block. DOWN THE BLOCK!

This is my final session in this series (for now, heh heh), documenting the morning routine of a family in Brooklyn. I've so enjoyed this project, not only from a photography perspective, but because of the time - the time to explore, to take it slow, to get to know my subjects even more, and to find the little stories that make up this seemingly mundane, but beautifully particular part of their lives. I've known Susannah Ludwig of Portraits that Move for a while now, but this was the first time I've hung out with her son, and the two of them together.

It's a mad rush to the cherry blossoms in NYC. After a painfully long winter, these beguiling beauties are a much welcomed sight. Or maybe it's because I'm getting older - the little things take on far more meaning. It is my birthday today. :).
And despite the sheer beauty provided by nature outside, we spent some time inside too....

From the aesthetics to the personalities, one of the things I love about this job is that every session is a study of something new. I never know what's really going to happen, even with families I photograph again and again. People are fascinating, unpredictable, and what make me want to do this for as long as I can.

Part 2, after which I was treated to delicious avocado toast and bring-home cookies.
