Benjamin

Little Benji. He was only 7 days old when I met him.  Welcome to the world, where there are so much love and adventure awaits you.  xo, r

Justina + Danny

Aren't these two gorgeous? We took a stroll around in empty New York City streets on the memorial day weekend snapping cute moments of these two.  They grew up in different parts of the world,  Justina's from Hong Kong and Danny's from Los Angeles but now they call New York home with their adorable Frenchie named Bella, who made a cameo during the photo session.  I can't wait to celebrate their big day in August! It's going to be amazing! xo,r

Erika + Jeff = Eleanor

I visited sweet baby Eleanor few days ago.  She had the chubbiest cute legs and arms I've ever seen. We had blast hanging out all afternoon eating, playing and napping.  Until next time ciao!  xo, r 

Liz + Issac - Sneak Peek

Hiroki Family

I'm happy that this family is my first posting for 2015.  I know I haven't been blogging for a while, sometimes I get caught up on traveling and photographing and don't have much time to blog all the wonderful places and people I come across.  Hopefully this year I will do a better job at sharing the photos!

Back to this family! I love this family! I promised I will come visit them every year but life happened and it took me 5 years to return to Japan to spend some time and snap few photos of them.  Takuto is almost 7 (you can see his pictures I took of him here) and I was so happy that he remembered me from last time I saw him. And oh Shuto (aka Shu-chan) he is a character.   He is hilarious!!  It was first time meeting him but by the time we had to say goodbye we became really good friends.  And Yoshimi and Kuni and grandpa, they are like my second family to me.  I hope I can see them again real soon (hopefully this summer)!  Thanks for having me! xo, r

Ajay + Brooke = Blake

Aren't these three adorable together?  I was so excited to photograph this family.  Brooke and Ajay wanted Blake to be little older for the first family portraits and 'tis is the perfect time to stroll around Central Park to snap some.  She was such a good baby, just minding her own business crawling around the Strawberry Field tasting the latest fallen leaves and being happy.  Can't wait for next year! She's going to be walking and running around.  xo, r (P.S Brooke is an amazing prop stylist! Make sure you drop by and check her out!)  

David + Lauriane

I was lucky to travel so much this summer and one of the most exciting part was meeting up with 

these two in Arles! We wandered around the town without a map and enjoyed getting lost.  And at the end we got ourselves locked in the Roman Theater because the lady at the front was eager to go home and didn't take a look to see if anyone else was still on the ground.  Thanks for that we had the whole ancient theater to ourselves until the police came to let us out ;) Good times! Next time I'll have to go see these two in Corsica, their new home! xoxo, r
