Donna And Stewart, Bryce And Jackson

This was a milestone session.   This is the 9th and last session of the family series.   This was Jackson’s standing up session and he is standing up pretty well next to his big brother Bryce.   Donna and Stewart made an amazing wall collection of the photos we have taken together over the years.  Their house is a family art gallery!  They are an amazing family and just like all familes..they have a full life and a full schedule and a full house with 2 boys in a small NYC apartment.   So what do do in a small space…get up on the window and use the vertical space.

Rea and Ralph

Their story is a long one and in a different order then what you might expect.  First love, then 2 kids, and then a grandson.   And then they decided to get married. Rea was changing her grandson’s diaper when I was trying to take getting ready photos of her.  This was a first!!  They have the most history of any wedding couple I have ever photographed  …years of love …(and breakups and fighting and makeups and making things better….)  This couple moved me so much and I hope to write more about it at another time. Until then..here are some images from their great and memorable day!!  A testament that working at a relationship over time can turn deeper and more intense and loving then ever.
