I met Eva and Philip one million years ago, before they were married. They planned their wedding in Houston from New York and I got to photograph their lovely as heck day. Through everything, we became friends, and I've been so lucky to stay in touch and see them over the years as their lives have changed and grown.

This was my third time photographing the lovely Schneider family in New York but my first time to meet the newest addition- Ayla. We met in the Dumbo area and after a blow out diaper and a parking situation that no one loved- family pictures commenced! Ugh. I loved it.

Philip and Eva went with the flow. That's my favorite family session. Things are not always easy and definitely not always perfect and I want to show it all. Pazel grabbing on to Philip's hair and using it as handles? No problem. Kids going in separate directions? Of course they are.

All the love for this family.
