Cynthia was 8 months pregnant when she contacted me! She wanted photos to capture her glorious and very-much-pregnant state :) along with photos of her and her husband, Jorge. This was very important for Cynthia, because she and Jorge moved to NYC from Mexico 10 years ago, have made a home here, and are now welcoming a new family member into their lives. Cynthia wanted photos to capture her and her husband's life together in New York, their love for each other, and her very "special bump!" We decided to photograph near their neighborhood, and met at Ladurée in SoHo, where Cynthia is partial to their macarons. After picking up and snacking on a colorful array of macarons, I followed the beautiful couple around the cozy streets of SoHo. We stopped at various little spots and I captured many lovely moments between Cynthia and Jorge. We finally ended up at a vibrant and colorful wall mural on Sixth Ave that felt so celebratory and appropriate for the occasion! Later that evening, Cynthia's friend arranged a baby shower at their home with help from Jorge and his chef expertise. I stopped by to capture all the charming and adorable little details of the setup while Cynthia and her girlfriends enjoyed an intimate gathering. Can't wait to see if it's going to be a boy or a girl!
