No other way I’d rather spend an afternoon than chasing around a little toddler…ok, that didn’t sound right;) What a cutie and a challenge! Always running away from the camera or poking his cute little finger in my lens, but I just love the photos. Well worth the effort. My personal favorite is him wearing MY shoes. Fall colors will be here before you know it, my busiest time of year for family portraits, call now to book a prime weekend right at sunset.

If you are a foodie,  then Blue Hill at Stone Barns is where you want to get married. Hands down the best wedding meal, heck, maybe even the best meal I’ve ever had. All the food, and I mean ALL of the food, is raised right there on the farm. And this farm looks like something out of Martha Stewart, a perfect backdrop for a wedding. Art and Lisa are foodies and they wanted to keep the guest list tight so Blue Hill was a perfect fit for them. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, they said their vows outside enveloped by wildflowers on a beautiful, clear summer day. We strolled the grounds at sunset before settling in for the evening. The cake topper was a big hit: mini Lisa and Art dressed in rival team jerseys.

I love it when my brides call me years later for family photos. Stephanie was one of my all time favorite brides. She’s referred to around the studio as “Empire State Effie” because of my photo of her looking out the window at the famous building. That has become one of my signature photos and is proudly displayed in the office. It was so wonderful to connect with her again and meet her fantastic family. It was a high energy shoot with Effie and Ben chasing around the kids and the little baby giggling with laughter the entire time.  One of the final frames of the shoot is of their older son innocently flashing his mom “the bird”. We were all cracking up and he just didn’t get why we found the little cut on his finger so funny.
