As I boarded my flight to New York City in early September, I updated my Facebook status to say “On my way to New York City” and shut off my phone for the flight. Moments after we landed, I turned on my phone to find a voicemail from my friend Carmen, who actually lives in Miami, but was also visiting NYC. She had seen my status and wanted me to do a portrait session for her family that day, as they would be flying back to Miami the next day. Carmen and I had talked before about her desire for me to photograph her family, but we were never in the same city at the same time. Here was our chance!
Later that day, after my work meetings were over, we all met up at Bethesda Terrace, which is my favorite place in Central Park for portrait sessions (thanks Carter for the recommendation). We had a delightful time catching up, as it had been over three years since we had seen each other in person. But I had even more fun photographing Carmen’s beautiful family!
The video below is the portraits from their session. As an extra special touch, the song that I chose for this video is called Sugar, Honey, Baby. It is written and performed by Carmen herself. Carmen has a beautiful voice and has performed here in the States as well as in South America and Europe. Enjoy the pictures AND the music! Carmen and Jose, I hope the music with the portraits makes them even more special to you.
