My guy!

Just wanted to post a recent favorite taken just before all the hair was chopped off. We kept waiting for the baby curls to emerge as his hair grew long again, but alas it looks like the curly days are gone and the bangs were just getting in the way. :-(

Benjamin

When I first met Benjamin’s parents, they described their little guy as a super smiley baby. On the day of our session, it was clear he wasn’t his usual cheerful self and we decided to call it quits a bit early. His mom told me later that he spiked a high fever shortly after we wrapped up. Even though I knew we captured some lovely pictures of him that morning, I didn’t want mom and dad looking back at the images only to be reminded of how sick Benjamin was that day. So I came back a couple of weeks later for a redo. Sure enough, he proved to have one of the best smiles of any baby I’ve ever photographed with a huge grin in every single picture. Actually the selection of images below are a mix from both the first and second takes, but I don’t think anyone but mom, dad, and me can tell which ones are from the day he wasn’t feeling well.

Black Tie Tyler

What better way to make good use of a tuxedo purchased for a wedding that would otherwise never be needed again: holiday photos! Another fun session at the Franciscan Monastery with Tyler, one of my favorite subjects.

The holidays are coming!

Falling behind in my blog posts again…

Here’s the first from a few sessions that I did at the Franciscan Monastery for the holidays with the K Family. Check out how much little brother Adam has grown since last year.

Pasqual

It was with great excitement and joy that I finally got to spend time again with my dear friend and her adorable 4-month-old baby boy, both of whom I had not seen since he was about a week old. We’d been planning to do a photo session together since before he was born and we wanted to wait until it was warm enough to keep him outside comfortably. I don’t make it home to New York City very often anymore so our opportunities have been few and far between. As luck would have it, the weather didn’t cooperate and we only had about 20 minutes of shooting time. On the other hand we got to spend several hours just hanging out and being together (which was not nearly enough time). Luckily, I’ll have many opportunities in the years to come to make more images of him starting with another session in the next few months when he’s able to sit up on his own. Love you, Faryu!!!

Andrew

Thankfully Andrew arrived just as the snow was starting melt. The weather interfered two times before I was finally able to meet with mom before his birth. He was super alert, but calm for the first half of our session and then slept peacefully the rest of the time make the whole shoot a breeze. The only trouble was that he really did not want to curl up and insisted on kicking his left leg straight out every time I tried to tuck it in. I did manage to snap a few photos in between kicks. Thanks L family!

Ameer!

After photographing mom, dad, and big brother a couple of months ago, I was thrilled to finally meet baby Ameer. It’s always an honor to be able to capture newbies during the fleeting stage in their lives. Thanks Sarah, Zaid, and Gibran for allowing me to share this special time with you!

Gabriel and Sofia

The last time I saw Gabriel, he was probably no more than 4 months old. His mom Sara and I met at the Breast Feeding Center when our sons were infants. Now, more than two years later, it was nice to get reacquainted and also, to meet little sister Sofia. Like many second children that I’ve photographed, she was super mellow and even tolerated some chilly weather so we could get some nice outside images.

Isabella & Kellen

Catching up on my last session before Thanksgiving. There were so many great images from this session that is was difficult to choose what to post here. Isabella was an enthusiastic model, and eventually, little brother Kellen warmed up too. It was great working with mom, Paola, who is an interior designer and owner of Creative Elegance Interiors and has a great instinct for color. We talked about coordinating clothing colors during our planning consultation and I knew Paola would come through with something creative that looked great without having everyone wear matching shirts ;-)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Each week when we go into the forest in Rock Creek Park, we’ve observed the gradual onset of autumn. This last week almost all of the leaves had finally fallen off the trees and had turned brown, blanketing the ground: evidence that fall is fully here and that winter is just around the corner. With every step I marvel that we have access to such a huge wooded area right in the middle of the city. It’s the best of both worlds!
