I love photographing families!! It is so fun to see how they interact. I love capturing the real raw emotions. I want to show exactly how the family is. The laughing. The crying. Whatever happens happens with kids. And I love to be in the midst of the chaos and fun.
Ian and Caleb are adorable. They are such cuties! Emily, Tom (and their grandparents Terry and Peter), Ian, Caleb and I ran around in Central Park capturing their family fun. I had such a good time! Enjoy!

Olivia and Cooper are the cutest twins! I started photographing them when they were 3. Last year when we did their 4 year old shoot, I was shocked to see them all grown up. And this year, they are 5! I can't believe it. They still like sticks and jumping and sand. And swinging. And laughing. And slides. There is nothing like being a kid.
Do you remember swinging on a tire swing until you got sick? Eating popsicles in the morning because that was a good treat? Getting messy and dirty and loving every second of it? Jumping into your parents arms with no fear? Saying what you want, when you want? Oh I love photographing children. They are so amazing! Enjoy!!

Have you ever met a family that just makes you melt? This family sure does. They are so sweet! I adore them.
Julia and Matthew are so much fun! It's been so great to watch them grow up when I see them for shoots. They love to play and dress up and roller-skate and skateboard. Thanks for a fun day! xo

Can I just start by saying GO LOOK AT MARYSIA'S SWIMWEAR! Her line is ridiculously beautiful. And so unique. I have never seen anything like it.
Marysia and I had so much fun on this shoot. It was quite ridiculous, actually. Lots of jumping. Whipping her hair back and forth. And laughing. I love this girl. She is super fun. And did I mention her swimsuits? Oh yeah, I did. They are the best!! ;)
LINDSEYBELLE: How did you know you wanted to start a swimwear company?
Marysia Reeves: I had a professor in fashion school that told us to really narrow down our interests and focus on what we wanted to do. Since I had been in ballet for so long and I was a lifeguard, I felt like I spent my entire life in a leotard or a bathing suit. I also majored in exercise physiology before fashion school, so I know a lot about the body and movement and thought that swimwear was the perfect place to start. And even more importantly, there was a void in the swimwear industry. Most swimsuits are sporty, and I wanted to create something that involved a lot more fashion design.
LB: I am in love with your suits. If people reading this blog were to invest in just one suit, which one would you recommend?
MR: The Antibes from my new collection. It comes in black and white and is a classic. You can't go wrong.
LB: I think I want one of each from your new collection! I can't decide.
LB: How do you recommend that I keep my suits clean and make them last longer?
MR: The Laundress swimwear cleaner. It's amazing!
LB: If you were to give a piece of advice to someone starting out in business, what would you recommend?
MR: Definitely go work for someone else first. You will learn a lot. And make sure you work for someone that you look up to in your industry. I didn't work for someone else first and I had to make mistakes and learn the hard way sometimes.
LB: What was the biggest mistake you made that you really learned from?
MR: The first year in business, I ordered product without having any client orders. I was naive and went with the only thing I knew. I learned that I can negotiate and find different sources for fabric and production. There are a lot of companies out there that are willing to work with you and be flexible.
LB: What book would recommend people read who are starting their own fashion business?
MR: The Fashion Designer Survival Guide by Mary Gehlhar. It's a great book for those starting out.
LB: What has been your biggest accomplishment?
MR: I guess I would have to say that having one of my suits on the cover of Shape Magazine was pretty cool.
LB: Favorite daily blog reads?
MR: Garance Dore and Man Repeller.
LB: Where do you get your inspiration for your suits?
MR: Everywhere. Seriously, I get a lot of ideas from resorts and summery vacation spots, but often I get my inspiration from random places.
LB: Favorite nailpolish?
MR: Bubble Bath by OPI. I just got the Chanel Black Pearl polish. It is awesome!
LB: Who do you admire most?
MR: Wen Zhou, the CFO of Phillip Lim. I love that she is such a savvy business woman. She told me a great piece of advice that I will never forget. Stick to your ideas. You are doing this fashion business for your life, not to make a few quick bucks. So be patient and stick to what you want to do to create a long term business.
LB: What can't you live without?
MR: My family.
LB: Speaking of your family, how do you manage making time for your daughter, Elle, and balancing home and work life since both you and your husband, Nathaniel, work together?
MR: It's crazy. But we make it work. We spend a lot of time together, but Nathaniel and I make time for date nights, and we do a lot of family vacations to the beach together.
LB: Favorite NYC restaurant?
MR: Omai. Amazing Vietnamese food.
LB: Favorite dessert?
MR: Pistachio Macaroons from La Duree. I am so excited that they have a store in NYC now!
P.P.S. Check out Marysia's new collection!

Annabelle is the sweetest little doll. She has the most beautiful big eyes and has such a darling personality. Jess and Joe are amazing parents; they are so cool and calm and relaxed. We had so much fun playing dress up, reading Dr. Seuss, blowing bubbles, singing songs, and playing with toys. What a gorgeous family!

Oh boy, what a couple! I first photographed Serena alone as a surprise for Tommy. And then I photographed their engagement. Over the past year, I have become really close with these two. They are pure magic. Love. Energy. Grace. Generosity. And did I mention that they are obsessed with shoes? So that makes us a match made in shoe heaven.
Serena and Tommy got married at a beautiful church in Avon, Connecticut and celebrated at Tommy's parents home. It was absolutely stunning. There was so much love, happiness, and excitement. And the shoes were killer! ;) Thank you both for sharing such a special day with me!
P.S. Tommy works in the shoe industry, so take a close look at the shoes. They have their names on all of the custom designed shoes for the wedding!
