M & Y Expecting | Central Park {NYC Maternity Photographer}

It's spring, and I'm officially two seasons behind on the blog...but that's okay, because I've got something fun and a little different to share! When most people hear "maternity photography," they think belly pics, right? Well, this couple wasn't really after picture's of M's bump--although that was certainly a highlight! They wanted images that would celebrate them as a couple and capture the love they have for each other (something a little closer to an engagement session). It's a style of maternity photography that I love, and I had a great afternoon with this beautiful mom-to-be and the man who clearly adored her. (He'd do anything for her, including this session, which I think he expected to be about as pleasant as a trip to the dentist.) The best moment, for me, came at the end when he thanked me for "actually making it fun." By the way, mom was expecting twins, and if you poke around my Facebook business page, you'll see a photo of her two gorgeous baby boys. I'm looking forward to sharing their newborn session soon.

R & Family | Central Park {NYC Family Photographer}

You may recognize this family from some of the newborn photos I recently posted to Facebook. (You can tell how behind on blogging I am by looking at mom's bump--she had a good trimester to go when we captured these images in the fall!) Anyway, when I photographed their newest addition a couple of weeks ago, I was reminded of just how much I enjoy this family. This Central Park session was one of my favorites, and little R is as lovable as they come. We started out near Columbus Circle, and made our way all the way to the Bethesda Terrace--which is where, once upon a time, R's parents got engaged. For good measure, we ended the session with a few shots of R in his Halloween costume. Seriously, how cute is this family?
