Like I always say, I love being part of your story and this family is no exception. I was so excited when Pam signed up for our spring mini sessions because I love this adorable family and couldn’t wait to see them again.
Lil’ Raymond always has a current theme/ obsession, last fall it was his blue dump truck and his red car as you can see in the image below…
…this year it’s his stuffed bunny, his Unukalhai (and their band “the Ray-Ray’s), his little yellow tractor and his fireman’s hat. It was quite an eventful shoot as you can see, but a blast nonetheless. I can’t wait to see what he brings next year.
On day 3, it was time to take our bite of the big apple and we did. But I gotta say that no matter how many times I visit NYC I still feel like a tourist and not just in the touristy areas but everywhere, that is one busy city. You would think that being from SF I could handle the hustle & bustle of it all, but find I myself lost in all there is to see…and therefore I look like a tourist with my trusty OM-D around my neck, my mouth hanging open from looking up at the buildings and the fact that I’m constantly trailing behind to snap a shot (side note, reason #273 why I love Mike is that he does an amazing job never loosing me as I wonder off). That being said… I love it.
Mo & Drea were the best tour guides ever! We walked, we cabbed, we trained, we ate, we drank, we partied, we shopped, we made new friends, we saw the sites, we Baseballed, we even got a taste of NY meter maids (they suck) then we ate some more and we drank some more…it was awesome. We totally need to step up our game next time you guys our way…Thank you!
I really liked the guy selling the magazines in the top right pic…
We rolled around with the top down which is really awesome unless you’re in the backseat on the freeway (learn something new everyday, sorry Mel!)
Mike really wanted me to take this picture… PS this is the Meat Packing District
Meter maids suck around these parts…

Delicious and oh so tiny!
I have a horrible sense of direction so I’m not sure which direction this was pointing but it would’ve been awesome if it was West.
Harlem!
I really, really wanted to go to Sho Nuff Uni-Sex hair salon!
Sylvia’s Amaze-balls soul food!!!
The new World Trade Center Towers…the are breath taking
My baby found us a 2 century old cemetery to explore (reason #197 he always scouts out the best places for us to explore)
On our way to the Met’s stadium…loved the view from the train!
Peace out NYC…thank you for a wonderful vacation…until next time….
These were all shot on our new Olympus OM-D!
