the marc kids
As promised, here’s the “regular” portrait session from yesterday’s dance session. These kids are all so incredibly good looking, it’s almost a little annoying! I got the best BEST little boy hugs and a kiss on the cheek at the end of the session- ok, I know thats like illegal now, but cmon. Would you really turn down a hug from him? And in another life, he’s actually my kid. His mom told me that one day he asked for goldfish for a snack, but either when she said no or wasn’t fast enough getting them, he yelled “give me some fucking goldfish!!!!” He’s three. And my son in another reality.

tiny dancer at sunset
This is actually part of a family session (i’ll post that tomorrow) but I had to make a post just for Gabby and her amazing ballet. If you are a bsquared follower, I hope you’ll remember some of her past photos and her being in THE Nutcracker at Lincoln Center twice. She’s now aged out of Nutcracker (I’m so sad!! But I guess if there’s a good year for that its 2020 since there will be no ballet season anyway) and will continue to dance at NYCB for the next few years hopefully, until they decide if she can be part of the company at 17 or 18. In the meantime, I’ll be asking to photograph her again so I can get my dance fix in.

the kais family
I was asked to capture a very special 90th birthday a few months back for this magazine worthy family. They are a pretty private bunch with social media but I was able to convince her to let me post ONE photo from the session. So here that is. I’m still working on her to let me post anything at all from her beach family session. I don’t think she’ll let me, but I’m not giving up yet!

the lui family
I’ve been photographing this family since 2012 when the baby was a newborn. Look at them so grown up now! I’ve never photographed them outside of NYC (their hometown) before, but this year they decided on a beach session since there are like zero things the same in life now. Dad was cracking me up the entire shoot, trying to get his shoes and socks on without having sand on his feet when we moved from location to location. Needless to say, that didn’t work out. But I did teach them all the baby powder trick at the end of the session so he could get them back on his feet sand free. I had a great time with them as usual! While the wind is usually annoying (especially with long hair) at the beach, I think it just added something fun to this session.

the schn family
This family came to me thru my camp friend Jodi (who you may remember from recent bsquared sessions that I haven’t seen since 1984!) who were also renting out in the Hamptons this summer. As it turns out, their middle daughter is in school in the same grade as the famous bsquared burberry princess in the city! These girls are gorgeous and so mature and nice- you wouldn’t believe their ages if I told you. City girls, I guess! They were all a pleasure to photograph and I hope I’ll get to again in the future. Good luck at “school” this year, girls! I hope you’re back in person soon.
