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.
So inspiring. I love the bright color palette, but that each child has their own style (btw, such great posers too! Ralph’s pose on the top photo is pure awesome). And I love the use of cupcakes and books as props.
I’m totally, totally stealing so many ideas from this shoot. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the move.
what a darling family!
i'm so in love with this whole shoot! very impressive- & what an amazing way to remember your NYC days.

These are family photos that will be cherished for generations. Wow!
For some reason, in all your pictures, I tend to notice sweet Miss Olive first. She always seems so demure and calm for such a young lady. Your entire family is beyond beautiful!
Woooow!! Gorgeous pictures!! Yeees, you look hot, the kids adorable and Mr. Blair handsome ;)
Good luck with the big move!! I’ll miss your posts from NYC, but looking forward to read the ones from Colorado.
Those are A-mazing. I love, LOVE the colors of the clothes. You are so brilliant.
And what a treasure those photos must be to you, especially with your move!
Oh, my Gabby, these are heartstopping. With your move I feel like a part of me (vicariously) is leaving New York behind. We will miss it for you, but wish you and your beautiful family (and Sexy Ben, of course) the best in the Rockies–not a bad deal when all is said and done.
They’re beautiful. I love the colors. What a success, Gabrielle.
Gabs…the best pictures ever…so you. xoxoj

Could you tell me where those arches are in Central Park?
GOD BLESS YOU! You have a beautiful family. I have always wanted 6 kids. Got 2, I have a long way to go. Love YOUR BLOG. I don’t know when you have the time to post and do all this hard work. I started my own, but it seems like I am so slow…too many ideas and I get lost. :)
