The mantra of every toddler I've ever known. Good thing Brooklyn Bridge Park provides adequate opportunity for this type of thing.

Step, step - smile big! Fall. Giggle. Toddlers are the ultimate mentors for taking risks, celebrating accomplishments, and picking ourselves back up when we fail. Had such a lovely morning with these parents and courageous little guy.

Cutting teeth soothed by finger chomps, wobbly walking legs getting steadier, sneaky smiles that soon are in full view, and hugs, hugs, hugs from all sides.
This is where we live | brooklyn family photographer
I love sessions like these. We start off with a rough plan and inevitably veer off course, meeting canine neighbors, playing with toothbrushes, finding unexpected moments that perfectly encapsulate what life is like right now.
Greenpoint, I'm a fan | brooklyn family photographer
After living in NYC for 10 years I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I've never been to this part of the city. One of the benefits I've come to appreciate about taking photos of New York families is that I find myself in neighborhoods I might never have seen otherwise. This is a cool little section of Greenpoint. Transmitter Park has piers that take you out over the river for some expansive Manhattan views. The blocks surrounding are filled with street art and textural, industrial scapes. And there's a great bookstore with good finds for little ones. I might want to move here.
