This fall marks the third year in a row that I’ve had the opportunity to photograph one of my favorite families in one of my favorite locations — Central Park. Seeing the growth of these kids from 2 years ago to 1 year ago to now is simply amazing! Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.
I’ve lived in New Paltz for over ten years. I’m amazed when I can find a new place to photograph, especially one that’s just a 5 minute drive down the road. I’ve actually taken pictures on the periphery of this area for years, not realizing that you can take a walk directly through the center where a huge stone structure, the Mohonk Testimonial Gatehouse, leads you to a dirt road where beautiful 100 year old oak trees line what used to the the original eastern entrance to the Mohonk Preserve.
This fall family shoot was a special one. Not just because this is a beautiful family as well as being great friends, but also because Nick is one half of Candeo Photo, who just photographed our wedding. If you’re getting married in the Hudson Valley, hands down, these are your guys. Their attention to detail, professionalism and ability to keep you calm up to and including your wedding day is second to none.
Here are a handful of my favorites from a beautiful afternoon photographing a beautiful family.
One of the best things about photographing families is seeing how they grow through the years. So, I was thrilled when the Geller’s asked me to do another photo shoot with them in Central Park. I first photographed them just about a year ago when the little one was only 6 months and not walking yet. Fast forward a year, and now they have two kids who are all over the place!
It was a beautiful, sunny, 80 degree September day in the park, and like last time we met at Sheep Meadow for the shoot. Unfortunately, Sheep Meadow was closed! This was actually a blessing in disguise, as we moved through the park to find some new locations to shoot, including Bethesda Terrace and Fountain. Always a good time, can’t wait for the next shoot!
