Napa Valley Part 1

My family has started a wonderful tradition of visiting Napa Valley together every labor day to enjoy a relaxing weekend tasting wine, eating wonderful food and enjoying each others company.  It has become a trip we all look forward to all year and I love photographing in the beautiful vineyards.  One of my oldest friends that I’ve known since middle school joins us and it is just a delightful weekend where I always feel rejuvenated, remembering that photography is a pleasure just as much as it is my job.

New York City Family Photography, Central Park

I always love getting to see clients every year and watching families grow.  Last year baby M was only 3 months old and it was so fun seeing her walking around all grown up this year!  We shot on a beautiful misty day in Central Park and were lucky enough to have their whole extended family in town to get some photographs with the grandparents.  Love multi generational photographs!!

New York City Family Photography, Tribeca

I fell in love with this wonderful family while photographing them!  Their two little boys were the sweetest angels during our shoot smiling and playing through the whole shoot with zero meltdowns- pretty impressive for a 2-year-old and 9-month-old!  We shot on my favorite street in Tribeca and even their adorable dogs joined in on the fun.  Definitely one of my favorite shoots of the holiday season!
