Gentlemen Wear Hats

….and they look REALLY CUTE while doing it!

We love creating unique photos every day.  It would be terrible to have someone say, “I have that same shot!” so we always try to think outside the box here at Classic Kids to really show JUST how special your family can be.

 

Clearly this kid has STYLE.  He and his mom “get it” when it comes to having fun and being in the moment!  And, listen, when we hear that you love wearing a hat?!

We go with it!

Here’s one more photo to leave you with on this lovely NYC weekend day… just a cool Urban Cowboy, resting from his long day herding taxis and wrastlin’ with tourists….

Baby, Mommy, and Balloons

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.  

Happy Weekend

Just a little Dapper Dan to make the rest of your weekend full of charm and class!

For those of you that wonder what is REALLY so much different about what we do at Classic Kids Photography, let me tell you why we love our job SOOOOOOOOO much.  

We love your kids.  

No, I mean it.  We truly LOVE your kids!

We work, and monkey around, and make silly noises, and sweat, and laugh, and tickle and squish, and help—all to bring out your little nugget’s personality.  And we don’t stop at one photo.  We want you to have ALL the different facets of their smiles, pouts, giggles, and silliness.  We won’t stop until we are satisfied.  

I know that this means that your choices are tougher at the proof viewings…but it’s also why we sit down to help you decide.  You’ll never be stranded or left feeling overwhelmed because we won’t let you leave with something second-rate.  It’ll be the BEST one if it’s only one…. and well, if we end up falling in love with nine?  You get a blog posting. 🙂

This little darling still brings us such joy months later.  We love her and she brings us so much happiness–and these photos will do the same for you.   I think the difference in all of our work is the love.  I’m pretty sure you’ll all be seeing the sparkle now in our love.

Family Photos from 2012

If you’ve ever heard me say that I want to use one of your photos for the blog, I really DO mean it.  I feel it’s a poor excuse to say that I’m too busy, but the truth is such. My computer is chock full of scans that I had requested and I feel so lucky that I found all these amazing shots that were meant for posting!

Needless to say…I’m correcting the situation from 2012.

 Here are some fabulously WONDERFUL, AMAZINGLY sweet, laugh-out-loud, make you say AWWWWW kinds of photos.  I’ve loved these photos for so long, it’s time that you enjoy them too.

As we make our transition into being a digital only studio…I thought it would be wonderful to see the past and look through the archives.  Everyone must be so much bigger now!

Capturing Cuteness….

….one CUTE kid at a time! 

Happy Holidays to All!

 

May your hearts be full of love and laughter, and your tummies be full of good food!  And, also, make sure to stay close to the ones you love!!!!

Love Letter

Dear Mom and Dad,

When I first met you, there was excitement and anxiety as you were preparing for the final stages of adoption for your new baby girl.  The process was long, arduous, and exhausting  (as I can only imagine)….and you weren’t even sure that she could be “yours”.  When you came into our studio, we were all rooting for you.

And we still are.

She deserves a family like yours.  Loving, caring, empathetic, creative, sweet, and above all…FUN!

Here’s hoping the rest of her life follows in your inspired footsteps.

I feel lucky to have photographed your beautiful two-month-old darling baby girl.

In my opinion, in the reverse way of thinking, you two were meant for HER.  How lucky that she found you.

And,

May the rest of your lives be beautifully uneventful.

Love, Lindsay May

When you are cute…

…simply putting a hat on makes for the best artwork you could ever own!

Can you believe this?!  What a HAM…and a super cute one at that.
