Hayley & Charlotte – Sister Session

I met Hayley and Charlotte’s mom Gina through a good friend, and was so excited to learn about her new venture, Fun On The Run Bags based out of Hoboken. Gina rents out travel bags for kids that are stuffed with fun toys and games, which is such a great idea.  We are always traveling with our boys and end up spending so much money on new toys, cards and games for every trip in a desperate attempt to keep them occupied for 6+ hour flights and car rides. Anyway, fast forward and here I am taking Gina’s girls’ portraits.

Gina wanted to have the girls in their play clothes having fun so that we could capture their personalities in the way she enjoys them every day. And they are so sweet!  Hayley (turning 5 in a few weeks) reminded me of Hollywood glamour with her striking brown eyes and cheek bones, and Charlotte (2.5 years) has these huge blue eyes that are just amazing! To add some pops of color I had some flowers and paper lanterns on hand which they loved playing with. Such a fun shoot!

Maya & Liv’s Portrait Session

I had so much fun with Maya and Liv’s portrait session! Their family recently moved from London to Jersey City and amidst the hustle and bustle of getting settled with schools, new friends, and searching for their dream apartment, made it to our studio to capture their girls at this moment, ages 1 and 4 respectively.  Maya was so adorable and like a true 1 year-old wanted wanted to play with all the fun toys around. Besides playing peek-a-boo with her beloved blankie, her favorite play thing was a yellow marker, which naturally ended up in her mouth and all over her cheek. Love it. 🙂 I got some amazing smiles from that sweet girl and her big sister too.
