What’s a better way to spend a weekend then photographing one of my families. I was very fortunate to be hired to document Gregory’s first week in this beautiful world and almost a year later we’re back again for more of these once-in-a-lifetime portraits. I always enjoy spending time with Eddy and Shella and hope that these photographs will remind them of many joyful moments.
I was recently hired to photograph an fun little family in Brooklyn (maybe not so little after all). This wasn’t my first photo session with twins or even 3 kids but this one was unique because the twins really gave us an opportunity to capture their individualities. The whole session lasted 4 hours and we captured over 500 images and here are a couple of my faves
Q. I am looking for a photographer to make creative portraits of my children, what are the questions to ask?
A. I’ve been asked this question more than once and it’s understandable that parents need more transparency while selecting a photographer.
My recommendation is to select 5-7 photographers in the area based on their portfolio and word-of-mouth feedback and call each of them to learn if they’ll provide you the value you’re expecting.
I would start with the following questions (notice how the price question is at the bottom of the list):
I would love to hear back from you on some of these ideas and questions. Let me know if I missed anything important to you.

Dear readers. In the following series of articles I will attempt to answer most frequently asked questions about maternity, newborn and children photography.
Q. What are the advantages of environmental photography vs. studio setup?
A. Studio setup allows for more controlled environment but can severely hamper the creative process of capturing a meaningful portrait. Studio photo sessions usually work best for newborns but as the child gets older it becomes harder and harder on the parents and the photographer conduct a successful photo session.
By contrast, environmental photography ensures your child is relaxed and comfortable in familiar surroundings. In addition, every session is unique, these photographs will capture your family’s atmosphere - they will not be identical to those of your friend’s children - this type of experience is unachievable in a studio and requires a higher level of professionalism (technical and inter-personal) from the photographer.

This has been a great weekend for me. I’ve met two wonderful families and helped them capture memories of joy of their children being playful, happy and beautiful as all kids are.
