Spring in the Suburbs | Westchester Family Photographer

“Spring has sprung, the grass is ris.  I wonder where the birdies is?” 
~ My Mother (and possibly some other people, but the internet is not giving me consistent answers on this — ee cummings?  A.A. Milne?  Anon?  I’m going with “My Mother”.)
 

This newly-minted Westchester family moved to Rye from the city less than a year ago.  I’m sure that there are some adjustments to be made after  so many years of city family life, but I’ve got to think those are overshadowed by the constant display of color and beauty that the area put on this time of year.   Their home is beautiful, and something different was blooming at every turn.  I’m glad we managed to schedule their session during that short period of time when the beautiful cherry tree was as pink as could be …

Glad I got to spend time with this blue eyed princess before we got the boys involved.

This little charmer acted like he didn’t want to be photographed at first, but I’ll tell you what — you wouldn’t know it by looking at the pictures!  One of my favorites from the session is HERE.

It was my first time photographing this fun family, but I hope not the last!   (If you think the mom looks familiar, you’re not crazy — that’s just because you’ve seen her twin sister here a few times before – here and here, for example).

Fun stuff, I tell ya … thanks for looking!

Seussical Jr.!

“Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”  ~Dr. Seuss

 

This past week has been chock full of elephants, birds, cats, monkeys, turtles, frogs, eagles and kangaroos for me.  Some zebras and tigers, even.  Not my usual subject matter, that’s true.  (Although there was that one morning with that other kangaroo…).  This weekend’s production of Seussical Jr. by SOOP Theatre Company was, by all accounts, a huge success — what a fun show, and what a talented group of kids!  A few highlights follow.   I will be making a much larger set of photos available to the parents of performers for free download within the next week or so.  If you fit that description and would like for me to email you the link when it becomes available, please send me a quick note through the “contact” button above and I’ll put you on the list!

Hope you enjoyed this ‘sneak peek’ in the meantime — feel free to share this post with friends and family who may have missed the show!

Play Time | Westchester Family Photographer

Remember these guys?

Westchester Family Photographer_001

You’ve met them HERE before.  I love it when a family is comfortable in front of a camera.  And when I say comfortable, I don’t mean knowing just how to pose so that their best side is showing — what I mean is feeling unselfconscious … able to play and enjoy themselves in front of the camera, almost as if I wasn’t there at all.  These family had a good time together.  I love that when they look at these photos years from now — when the kids are all bigger and they maybe live in a different house — these photos will transport them back to this night and the fun they had playing around together in the house and backyard.  And to the feeling of being a family with a four year old, a two year old and a one year old.
