Russ is the big brother of Laura and Andrea, two of my brides from last year.
The whole family is so warm and welcoming; it is always so nice to see them and take their portraits.
When Russ and Elena were expecting their first child, Laura and Andrea decided to give a family portrait session as a gift. A year later I finally got to meet Daniel who is super cute and have big gorgeous eyes.
Here are some beautiful portraits of Russ, Elena and baby Daniel.
Elena loves taking photos herself and she had lots of great ideas for poses. She has already taken over a thousand images of baby Daniel.
This is Vina, the baby BEFORE Daniel.
Russ and Daniel having some father-son hang out time.
How cute is Daniel as Santa baby himself??

I was so excited to see Caroline, Rob and baby Ella again. It’s been five months since I photographed their wedding and they drove all the way from Rhode Island to the city for a family portrait session. This is going to be Ella’s first winter so she is still deciding if she will like the cold weather or not. It was a bright but chilly November morning.
We took portraits all over Central Park then had a little play time at FAO Schwarz.
Here are some beautiful photos from the session.
Ella was fascinated by the fountain and the dogs in the park.
Here, Ella is showing off her newly learned tricks such as sticking out her tongue! 
And a couple “newlywed lovebirds” portraits of the parents while the baby was napping.
In the toy store: Ella and her lookalike buddies.
It was so great to see Caroline, Rob and baby Ella. I had a blast taking their photos.
I hope to see you guys again soon!!
