It's amazing how much you learn about a family just by spending a couple hours with them. And not because you pepper everyone with questions, but becuase you just watch and listen. For me it's one of the things I love about my job. Witnessing the way people truly care about each other.
Want a family photoshoot outside? Want to go somewhere that isn't a park? Tribeca was made for photoshoots. There are so many cool textures and backdrops that give an unexpected and cinematic quality to the photos. These lovely ladies and gentleman fit right in, took their marks and played to the camera like they've been doing this for years.
Kids love water. Whether in the bath, in the pool, alongside your sister....or maybe not alongside your sister. Six months ago, I photographed these guys just as she turned three and he was two months. It has been especially fun documenting their little slices of life every few weeks.
Although not quite at the point of arabesques and pirouettes, this little lady definitely took center stage with bucketfuls of charm at her first birthday party debut. She kind of reminds me of a sparkling pink sugar crystal. Particularly when covered with frosting.
Three guesses who it is. And the first two don't count.
