the medv family

Goes down in history as one of my favorite shoots ever. Seriously.

Not only was the location totally fabulous (East Hampton anyone?), the light amazing (I think they really do get better light out there), the family gorgeous and so photogenic, the little boy a love, to top it all off…they were just the nicest, most inviting and warm people you could ask for.

The trip out to East Hampton is about 2hrs from here and the shoot was on a Sunday evening. So the way out- not a big deal at all. ipod blasting, driving 80-90mph and chanelling my inner Danica Patrick. The way back however, is a totally different story. We are talking hours of sitting in traffic. I think the family took pity on me and were so gracious and asked me to stay for dinner so I could eat AND miss the traffic. Love them. And so I stayed for dinner (which was delicious) and conversation (which was fun and fabulous) at their amazing home. Can you say Pottery Barn catalog? (the house, the family- everything straight out of a magazine. But even better cause it was real life!)

So on to the pictures…started out at their house. So light and airy. And you just know its going to be an awesome shoot when this is the first picture you take.
