The Seve Family

No Comments
There is so much to celebrate in the Seve family and I was so honored to shoot their family portraits at Morris Canal Park over the weekend.  Mom Christelle and dad Stephen welcomed baby #3 and their first girl, baby Axelle, to the family in April and at 2-months she is so beautiful! Big brothers Nathan and Mathieu went to the same preschool as my boys and became fast friends, so our families have had a lot of fun adventures together over the years like the NY Botanical Gardens’ Holiday Train Show and  the Ringling Brothers Circus.  Ah memories. We are really going to miss them now that they are moving back to their hometown in León, France. 🙁  I’m telling myself it’s just a really great excuse to take the boys back to France sometime very soon.  We’ll miss you Seve family!

The Johnson/Newton Cousins

Sunday was the perfect day for a photo shoot in Hamilton Park with cousins Emily (9), William (6), Evelyn (5) and Olivia (3).   Moms (and sis-in-laws) Virginia and Mia arranged for this shoot to have the pics back just in time for Grandpa’s 70th Birthday party on Father’s Day, and I felt so honored to be able to take the kids’ photographs for such a big occasion!

The kids were all smiley and in great moods which always makes it fun.  I, of course, was….a little animated…trying to get those smiles to all happen at the same time.  Lucky for me, the park was full of people since it was such a lovely day out.  Whatever it takes to get the shot, right?  Because seriously, how adorable are these four??

Stella & Juliana at 7-months

No Comments

When twin girls Stella and Juliana arrived last October, I was beyond excited for mom Kristy and dad Dave.  If anyone should procreate, it’s those two. Dave is honestly one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and Kristy is one of my favorite people of all time.  She’s hilarious and doesn’t take herself too seriously – one of those friends who can say “honestly what the h*ll are you wearing??” and for whatever reason it makes you love her more. Check out her inspiring birth story which was featured on Hoboken Mommies last month.

All I could think about leading up to the shoot is how adorable Stella and Juliana would be with pearls and no clothes on and they did not disappoint! Kristy showed up with these amazing frilly tutus that just made the whole look perfection.  Juliana would always flash her huge innocent eyes at me while Stella would give me the perfect smirk.  And at 7-months they both have these delicious baby rolls that you just want to squeeze non-stop. Can’t wait for Part 2 of the girls’ shoot at the shore next month!

Liv & Maya – Sibling Shoot

No Comments

Now that Summer is nearly upon us, it has been so fun to take advantage of the nice weather and do more shoots outdoors.  For Olivia (5) and Maya’s (1) shoot, I couldn’t wait to head back to Morris Canal since not only is the Manhattan skyline gorgeous, but the kids have so much fun playing in the grass there, not to mention climbing trees.  Mom, Liz, is a great friend and incredible artist – painting, graphic design, writing, you name it – and it has definitely been passed down to Olivia. I know this because she’s in the same Pre-K class as my oldest, and she has all these paintings that look like Picasso’s.  And not in the same way I would say my kid’s paintings look like Picasso’s (because aren’t our own kids always complete geniuses??), but I mean she literally has this amazing grasp of color for her age.

In any case, it was the perfect morning to capture the girls playing in the park who were too cute in their matching dresses.  Looking forward to more fun outdoors this Summer!
