Many people have asked me why I went to NY…specifically. I mean, the better question is, of course, why wouldn’t you go to NY? Not really a big city girl, New York is one of those cities where I could live. In amongst it’s hussle and bustle is this sense of community that I find utterly attractive. This sense like everyone has their special places where someone will recognize you and welcome you and make you feel like home. You. Picked out of this giant sea of people.
Somewhere in this sea of people, lives my good friend, Kristen. Kristen is pregnant. I should say…Kristen is FINALLY pregnant. She has longed to be a mother for her whole life and now this dream is finally coming true. We met as nannies in Los Angeles many years ago. And, I know that this…being a mother…is what she was born to be. It was such a pleasure to capture this time in her life for her and her husband.
We spent a day taking images. We started out at The Stone Barns in Westchester county. Home of the famed Blue Hill Restaurant…and cafe, of course. A charming little place where this couple has spent a good deal of time walking the property and munching on treats from the cafe. It’s their place. Then, after that, Kristen and I took the train into the city and dashed around Central Park(where the rest of the images were taken). We then, of course, visited Canal Street(a favorite area of mine) and Little Italy(for supper and a treat). It looks like I might be going back for newborn photos sometime at the end of January…just for a quick visit. Can’t wait.
I have baby bellies on the brain as I am off to see one today and will see another one over the holidays!! I love maternity sessions 
So, in a maternity session frame of mind, thought I’d post this special belly for you all! Happy Wednesday…
These are so worth the wait:) She is so beautiful and glowing.
I adore the second from last……in the tunnel-exquisite Dana.
I can’t wait to meet their baby through your eyes:)
Gorgeous!! I love the ones on the stairs, stunning images! I have to say, I would love to go to NYC, it’s on my list of places to go to!
Central park looks so pretty! All those Autumny leaves.
Baby bellies rock. I have to physically restrain myself from wanting to rub the beautifully rounded preggy bellies of people I pass by on the street. I was saying to my hubby the other day that at least I’ll be able to indulge that whim when we decide to have one of our own
Congrats to Kirsten and her man!
Love the Central Park ones! Congratulations to the happy parents-to-be!
These are so beautiful! I especially love the one where she is sitting on the park bench!
