We first met Melissa & Michael at Joette & Patrick’s wedding, and we could tell even then just how much love  they have for one another, as well as for their two adorable little girls. When Melissa asked if we could take some relaxed lifestyle portraits of their beautiful family, we jumped at the opportunity to do so. In the gorgeous open setting of a wonderful horse farm, they and their girls were able to show us what a fun-loving, happy family they are. The girls looked forward even more to changing into their ballerina tutus. Too cute! We had a great time on this family outing.

Many of our readers will remember Rachel & Ross from when we photographed their wedding a few years back. They are now the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl named Maya. We were thrilled to meet her and quickly fell in love with her red hair and natural highlights, alert blue eyes, and sweet voice. Her mom couldn’t believe it, telling us this was the most awake she’d seen her yet! At just a week old, Maya has already made herself right at home with her parents and the puppies. It was such a privilege to spend time with each of them again and document their growing family.

It’s always a great day when we get together with this awesome family. They were so much fun and so laid-back during Jesyca’s recent maternity session. As Bill and little Alexander took some finger paint and started placing their own custom artwork on Jesyca’s belly, Bill spelled out Meridith’s name. So with the spelling of her name now OFFICIAL for everyone to know, Meridith is on the way! We can’t wait to meet her in a few weeks.

Portrait work is yet another facet of photography that gives us great joy. A good portrait has the power to say a lot about you, to project a statement about yourself and your image. So we were pleased and honored when Stacey Karesh, the Manager of Public Relations for Neiman Marcus Westchester, contacted us to request portraits for herself and for Beth Sharkey, the Vice President and General Manager. As both of them were beautiful, confident and accomplished women, they were winning subjects for our camera, and we genuinely enjoyed their photo sessions.

As many of our brides know, Neiman Marcus Westchester is a leader in the region when it comes to keeping the community up-to-date on contemporary fashion trends. With a broad selection of luxury merchandise and superior customer service to match, you won’t lack for anything when visiting this beautiful store. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

P.S. – A kind note of thanks to Lina, Stacey’s assistant, whose help with hot tea and water saved Jenni’s throat during her bout of laryngitis.
