Baby, Mommy, and Balloons

Posted on April 4, 2014 by ClassicKidsManhattan

What could be better than creating memories together? Classic Kids sessions are not JUST about taking photos. It’s really about having fun. Without a great experience, the photos wouldn’t have the same emotional impact. It’s our mantra, and it’s why we take such great pride in our work. It’s why a set like this just STILL makes us giggle!

We usually have to prod moms to be in photographs. If you think about it though, these are going to be the photos that will be the most cherished when the kids grow up. So you should not argue with us because the photos are WORTH it.And when we have props around the studio, like the leftover ones from the Daphne Oz photo shoot for NY Family Magazine we just HAVE to capitalize on cool props. And do it in color. Yes color.

Growing up with Classic Kids

Posted on March 18, 2014 by ClassicKidsManhattan

It’s amazing how fast time flies!

We really get attached to our families (read our previous post about LOVE), and love growing old with them. It’s always so special to become a part of the family history!

We met this family back in 2012:

We saw them again when she reached baby parts age (6-9 months old):

We saw them again with baby girl #2 and fulfilled a color request:

Can you see the head band used again? Love the idea of sharing hand-me-downs.

We are all so proud to see how our families grow up and grow bigger. Nothing makes us happier to photograph your family. And again. And then photograph them again.

P.S. See the Monkey Wrangler tab up top–Darya is holding this big sister when she was 9 months old (or as we like to call it…baby parts age).

Album Cover by Classic Kids

Posted on March 14, 2014 by ClassicKidsManhattan

We haven’t seen these boys in a while, but these photos still stand out to me!

I’ll call them the Classic Kids band. This is their album cover.

Clearly with photos like these, they’d immediately go platinum.

I imagine their type of music would be very hip-groove-rock, and at some point on the album there would be a KILLER rock-ballad to make all the girls swoon.

The group shot just reminds me so much of a cool band photo. Think drumsticks instead of lollipops and then you’re there. LOVE! It shows all their personalities in one moment.

Sweet Sibling Love

We’ve known these lovely kids since Big Sister was only 8 months old. It’s crazy how time flies these days. It’s amazing that they grow so fast…they giggle so sweetly…and they love each other so much. We feel so lucky to be a small part of their family history.

Good Morning America!

Posted on December 11, 2013 by ClassicKidsManhattan

It’s not every day that you get interviewed by a national news team. In the midst of our crazy holiday season here at Classic Kids, Good Morning America came to our studio to give families some advice on taking the perfect photo for the holidays.

That adorable family had some great photos from the photo session to use for their card! Boy oh boy did we have fun! Thanks to Paula Faris for a great interview!

Somehow they got my maiden name, so my dad was excited to see Schneider again. 🙂

Maternity Photos can be FUN!

Posted on August 6, 2013 by ClassicKidsManhattan

Strange to say, but when we are having maternity sessions here at Classic Kids, it’s like we are getting a window into how the new family is going to BE. Cool, calm, silly, funny, sweet, loving, appreciate, and filled with anticipation.

We always pick artsy-like maternity photos to share…but today it felt necessary to have a series of really fun photos. If this was my mom and dad…I’d love this on my bedroom wall! pregnancyWtwins

These parents are about to be parents of TWINS (I know, right!!?!?) and they are just so lovely, and cool, and calm, and silly, and funny, and sweet, and loving, and appreciative…and not the least bit nervous.

We will be meeting the little ones any time now, and couldn’t be more excited ourselves. We think they will be JUST like their parents…and promise to let you know.
