He’s Proudest in his Minion ‘Big Boy’ Underpants… II Paris Europe Family Photographer

Recently I was going through my stuff back at home in NY and came across my high school yearbook.. It hasn’t even been 10 years since I graduated, mind you, and I was looking through all the signatures and lovely notes. I actually had to wrack my memory for who some of the people were, […]

Recently I was going through my stuff back at home in NY and came across my high school yearbook.. It hasn’t even been 10 years since I graduated, mind you, and I was looking through all the signatures and lovely notes. I actually had to wrack my memory for who some of the people were, not even being able to recollect a single pointed memory with them.

People who I spent YEARS with.

What the.. ?

It got me thinking about how I’m documenting my own life, the everyday things happen and that I absolutely want to remember.

Like the fact that my 4-year-old nephew is proudest when he’s wearing his minion underpants. And literally whenever he wears them he needs to tell everybody.

It’s silly right? (And awesome because minions are the best…)

The little things. As ridiculous as they are they’re what colors in the numbers of our extraordinary yet very ordinary lives.

What will you remember about your family 5 years from now? Will you remember how your little guy loved tickle monster surprises? Or about his beautiful untamed curls? How are you documenting right now?

So many tiny explosions of life happen every day. Some mundane, some worthy of looking back on.. even just to put a smile on your face.. Are you getting them all?

The Funny Thing About Autumn – Paris Lifestyle Photographer

Autumn is a special time. I think about warm Indian summer colors, pumpkins, over-sized sweaters, new babies, snuggling in bed and of course the beautiful changing landscape that simply captivates your imagination. I don’t think I could live a season-less life, where it’s constantly summer or winter. I need the evolution, the motivation of the […]

Ex: We are coming to Paris this spring at the end of March and it's our first time! We don't often travel so this is really big for us. I've been a Francophile since I was in my teens and have always dreamed of coming. I'd love this for my family and especially to be able to relive this special trip everyday on my walls with an art piece! My kids are 2, 5 and 9. Crossing my fingers and toes to be chosen!!
