Purpose and Photography (Hello 2018!) | Portraits in Hubbard Park!

2018 came with a purpose.

If you are reading this, it is to be reminded that this year, this day, this moment is given to you--as a gift. What will you do with it?

There are many moments that come and go... if we let them. The beauty of photography is to capture the essence of our every day. Truly, the infinite that can come wrapped in the smiles of our loved ones. It is a beauty that we must never be easy to let go of. 

Whether it's just for you, or to share in the moments with those you love, the moments are precious and all the ones we have should be cherished. With that, something we want to focus on more this year is documentary+lifestyle photography, including Motherhood and Newborn Photography. We are really excited to announce that we have scheduled our first Motherhood (Maternity photography) Session, and we are so honored to provide this gift to a beautiful young mother and her now-growing family. These are God's gifts and we need to treat them as such--with preservation and again, purpose.

Please stay tuned to see those images. In the meantime, we want to highlight some of our favorite photos from a shoot with a young woman who paid a beautiful tribute to her Native American Heritage. These were for her, for her portfolio ,but in capturing these, she shares such a beautiful part of herself with our audience. Take it in, and think about what it speaks to you. Think about how you can, too, gift yourself with special images that mean something more.

We look forward to the purpose that awaits. Let the adventure begin (for every moment is a new start)! #believeit #receiveit 

With #scenescerity, Steph+Tim 

Family Portraits in The Cloisters, Fort Tryon Park, New York City

Happy Fall everyone! 

We are happy to welcome a fruitful season in our lives: as a couple, as individuals, and as a business. We are wrapping up our First Fall Mini sessions!! (super exciting), and recruiting now for Christmas Portraits as well (be sure to check your email for your special promo code; Don't receive our emails yet? Let's change that!). 

Now, we are trying our hand at portrait photography for individuals and we are excited to finish those images to share with you! In the meantime, we still are really in love with the family dynamic: we care about families so much, because, hey, they are the beginning of our world, right? Families are so important, and as we get so close to Thanksgiving (Happy Thanksgiving!!), we are continually reminded of how grateful we are for our families that we have photographed, and our families that surround us on a day-to-day basis. 

Let's keep it real, of course, families can be very challenging. This can be true with all sorts of personalities in the family, and for many other reasons (and both Tim and Steph can confirm that their own families are NO WHERE near perfect). However, we choose Love every day. We choose to Love our families and we are so grateful for them--in the good times and bad. This Thanksgiving, we hope to keep big smiles and hearts full of love. Please join us in choosing Love for our families!

We hope to keep up our big smiles and happy hearts like this beautiful boy, and his awesome family! Cheers to where it all starts: Love. 

What are good ways for you to keep a happy home (especially when the tough times roll around)? Please leave us your comments and help all families succeed! 

 

 

Sweet Girl turns 5! A Special Birthday Photoshoot | The Cloisters, Fort Tryon Park, NYC

We are finishing up photos from two very special photoshoot sessions for a very special and sweet, little girl, Isabella. This little princess has the biggest heart of any five year old we know (so far)! She is so brave, as she witnessed Tim's health scare this past summer--and it was her sweet smile that helped Steph keep her composure to make sure that Tim could get to a hospital safely. 

Needless to say, it is still an episode that has left it's mark on our relationship and something we are so grateful to have gotten through, together. And this family will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Fun fact: Sweet Isabella made Tim the cutest get-well note, and we look forward to framing it and hanging it in our studio office in the future! It will always be a special reminder of Love and Hope for us. 

For the first part, we began with some shade in the trees, moving over to a wonderful path with beautiful flowers while the kids got to play, running and blowing bubbles. On the second part, we began again in the lovely flower path, moving to end the session with fun on the playground. The kids did great and the parents rocked it too (more to come)!

Here are some of our favorite images from their beautiful birthday photography session!
