The family pictures in Central Park turned out beautifully. Candice Stringham, the photographer, was incredible. Lots of patience. Great style. Flexible. A delight to work with. If you’re in New York — or anywhere near New York — book her right away. For reals.
I know preparing for a family portrait can be stressful. What will everyone wear? Will the kids behave? Will I look hot? : ) Leading up to our photo shoot, there were several times I was tempted to cancel — we’re just so busy right now. But I am beyond happy that I have these photos now. What a treasure for our family! Worth every bit of time and effort.
And I can’t even put into words how wonderful it was to spend an afternoon-with-perfect-weather in our beloved park before the big move. I’m going to get all weepy just thinking about it.
P.S. — Thanks for all the great feedback! Per your requests, here is a post about how the shoot and the wardrobe came together here.
I agree with everyone. I have to comment on the first picture, it looks like you and your younger son have angel wings (the arches behind you).
Amazing pics! Cute fam!
these are perfection gabby! i love how you dressed everyone.
Absolutely fabulous! I’d be thrilled to have such stylish family photos.
gorgeous, so special! they will look so beautiful in your new home. :)
I just talked with Gab. The movers are at the house and she can’t get to her computer right now.
She has plans to answer all your questions in a future post.
Beautiful pictures! The colors are so vibrant, love it. And how you got 5 kids standing in one line, amazing! I have 2 and it’s impossible. :)
I ADORE your kids’ outfits! Beeeee-autiful pictures!
um. adorable! you all look straight out of a jcrew/crewcuts catalog:)
great pictures, and perfect clothes!
These are so amazing! What a beautiful, fun family you have. This seems like a tradition maker: Pick a favorite park from your city and take family pictures. You can see your family grow and remember favorites as you move!
These are gorgeous and checked out Candice’s site, WOW! Who chose the outfits, love them!
Beautiful pictures – the colors are so vivid!
Like everyone else, I love the COLORS! I usually prefer black & white for family photos, but in this case, you've got to show off the great colors.
They are beutiful pictures!
Gorgeous and amazing!! Thanks for sharing…
My favorite part is how you’re all wearing different bright colors–I get so tired of the cliche “all wearing white” or “all wearing denim” family portraits–emphasize that individuality. Love it.
awww, such great pictures!
Terrific family pics!!
those are absolutely fantastic! I am in love with Olive’s huge red flower!
priceless.
i’ve been a follower of your blog for a little bit. good luck on your move! my husband and i moved cross-country last year from atlanta to seattle. it’s taken me a bit to settle in to the pacific northwest, but love it. pam
adorable! candice is so fun to work with (i did the brooklyn bridge umbrella shoot with her).
and your kids outfits rock this world!!!
xo
What gorgeous family photos! Really makes me wonder why my photographer always insists on neutral solids. And you look hot! Always my first concern too. :)
The colors in the clothing along with the sunshine (not to mention the gorgeous family) are what make these photos perfect.
Really great photos, Gabby.
WOW! They turned out amazing. I’m loving how colorful everyone looks.
Oh G, what a gift these photos are — beautiful, reflective of the city… just lovely. Thinking of you as your date approaches! xoxo christine
could these BE any cuter?? love the colors. the kids look like something out of a louisa may alcott book or something. what a great way to commemorate your lives in ny!
Oh these are so lovely! Now I’m all inspired to do family photos here, too — thank you for sharing!!!
That first picture looks like you have angel wings Gabrielle.
Have a safe move!
Did she use film? The colors look so beautiful & non-digital!
Oh my gosh…the colours!! I can’t get over how great the colours are in that first photo. I love all of your outfits (especially the one you are wearing) and I think it’s the most wonderful idea to have family photos done that way.
absolutely love your outfits!
these turned out beyond great!
Gabrielle, they turned out great! The color placement is fantastic. By the way, you do look hot. Your hair looks great! I know what a pain it can be because it belongs to me as well. Good luck with the move!
Those are great shots! You have such a lovely family.
I can’t stand it. The pictures are AWESOME!!! New York’s loss in Denver’s gain. We’ll miss you out here on the east coast.
The colors are truly inspiring…so happy and uplifting…before the teenage years of black and greys!
I love that you’re all wearing bright colors. Nobody does that in NYC – especially Manhattan area. Yay for you! The pictures are stunning and so fun!
absolutely love the photos. you’ve inspired me to share shots of my 3 week old! :)
These photo’s are so divine! What a beautiful moment in time and unforgettable memories!
