I had the pleasure of catching up with Leslie and Steve again in New York City to photograph their green-tongued kids. Green-tongued kids??? That’s right!
Note to self: Remind parents to refrain from giving their kids green lollipops before the shoot. 
Earlier this year, Leslie and Steve received a session as a gift from Leslie’s mom who was the highest bidder in a silent auction. Her mom is on the board of a terrific charity to which I donated a session for their 25th anniversary fundraiser. NAC (New Alternatives for Children) helps hundreds of chronically-ill kids in foster care in NYC, so please remember them for your future charitable giving. Leslie and Steve were kind enough to ask me back to their apartment to shoot some holiday card photos of the kids.
We started in the courtyard, and their daughter started sneezing. I don’t normally show kids their photos on the back of my camera, but I had to show them this. It was too cute. They had a REALLY good laugh.
Then we headed up to their apartment. Their son was cracking up on the terrace!
Their daughter was getting a little tired and took a break. I like when the kids take breaks because then I can photograph them when they’re completely relaxed. She wasn’t really sleeping… I think she was trying to hide from me!
Looking very dignified!
The happy, cuddly kids.
Thanks again Leslie and Steve! It was great to see you again and photograph your happy family.
