Capturing Sibling Bond: A Playful Family Session at Safari Playground in Central Park

There is nothing quite like watching siblings interact and play.  There is an extraordinary bond between siblings close in age. Especially boys! I had the privilege of photographing Tucker and Quinn along with their parents on a beautiful - and warm - fall afternoon last month. For their Summer's End Mini Session, we met and explored Safari Playground in Central Park. The session flew by as my camera snapped pictures of them frolicking, laughing, and spending quality time together.

Tucker surely loved being outdoors! A natural explorer, he jumped through leaves, climbed trees, and created fun little games for him and his brother. It was a joy watching this silly and fun loving four-year-old concur his surroundings. Of course, his 15-month-old brother Quinn was in tow! Quinn followed his big brother, through the playground and encompassing area, idealizing and attempting to mimic Tucker. Quinn's big smile never left his face during the entire session. I found myself smiling throughout that day just thinking of the fun this family had together. There is no doubt that the adventurous and caring personalities of these brothers are due to their amazing parents, Adam and Tina! They both made sure to create engaging and interactive play. At one point, Quinn just could not stop giggling every time Dad pretended he was an airplane swinging him through the air! There were even quiet moments of snuggles and comfort with Mom.  

This loving family was such a pleasure to photograph. I adored every moment of their mini session! Being able to capture Quinn and Tucker's personalities along with each boy's unique and special bonds with mom and dad, was an absolute joy! Adam, Tina, Tucker, and Quinn, thank you for letting me document and create a visual story of such a beautiful time in your lives!
