i wasn't sure if we were going to be able to pull this session off... 

because well, he didn't seem that into it :)

stella of course, is always ready for a photo session!

but all he needed was some mama time! 

& kisses from mama & papa! 

you guys are the cutest & i love that you all stay calm & relaxed while we let the kids be kids & i work on capturing your moments with a beautiful realness.

Rarig Family : New York Portrait Photographer

first, a little reminder:

these beautiful people are basically family & you've met them before:

doug & molly's wedding,

our session from 2013,

our session from 2014,

our session/ baptism 2015

& this year... we added the family's first senior portrait session!

Ally is going to be a senior & her future looks so bright, it's a lil ridiculous, honestly. 

she's already been retweeted by Stephen Colbert for goodness sake! 

Here are a couple from that session:

a beautiful young woman in a beautiful place. 

& then after I'd tortured her enough we brought out the whole crew... 

i LOVE this one! 

the littlest proved to be unwilling to smile... but we got her! 

didn't we sweet sydney?!!

nora was shouting something & max was giving her his awesome side eye. 

too cute. 

one of my favorites of them all together! 

just the grandbabes with mommom & daddad! 

my other favorite! 

& then a few bloopers, just for fun: 

no more!!

ouch! 

poor sydney already didn't want to be in a picture & then she gets pounced on! 

nora innocently creeping up on brother...

oh, max ya gotta watch out for that beautiful lil wild thing! 

& who doesn't adore silly uncle dave?!  

love our sessions together! 

& our time at silver bay together :)
