this luggage was what the hensons used as their “guest book” at their circus themed wedding, it was covered in vintage labels with the guests well wishes – such a great idea!  and it was just the perfect size for little jackson to curl right up in…

(times two!) http://wildflowersphotos.com/blog/new-york-baby-times-two/ http://wildflowersphotos.com/blog/new-york-baby-times-two/#comments Mon, 04 Oct 2010 07:42:39 +0000 Joy http://wildflowersphotos.com/blog/?p=3111 say hello to baby girl maya & baby boy khai (and their parents, natalie & ron) photographed in NYC!!!   i photographed natalie and ron’s wedding a little over two years ago and i remember her telling me over and over how much she couldn’t wait to get pregnant so i could photograph her babies!  i think she must have known how much i love to photograph newborn twins because they were blessed twice over!  when they asked me to come to new york, the only photo request that i knew in advance was to try and get a shot of the babies with the new york stock exchange in the background (daddy works there).  well, imagine my photographer’s glee when i arrived and saw that they lived in the building just across the street and the terrace looked directly toward the monument… ahhmazing. it had been raining for days but it stopped just long enough to be able to shoot for a bit in that dreamy, dreamy spot.  i heart NY & this sweet little family!  xoxo
