They rolled up on scooters—and instantly, the tone was set.
Marie-Hélène, Daniel, and Arthur arrived on Roosevelt Island looking like a family straight out of a fashion magazine… only warmer, more relaxed, and complete with genuine joy. From the moment I met them, their connection was unmistakable—they had a kind of easy affection.
Nothing about this session felt posed. We wandered all around, talked, laughed, and let the session unfold naturally—proof that the best photographs happen when you stop “posing” and simply be.
This is always my hope for families during a session: to relax, have fun, and trust that you don’t need to be perfect for the camera. These photographs aren’t for me; they’re for you. They’re for remembering who you were, together, right now—when Arthur is still this age, and scooters are part of everyday adventures. Years from now, when he’s taller and those scooters are long gone, the love will look exactly the same.
Roosevelt Island gave us the views.
This beautiful family gave us the magic. |

Some photo sessions just click — and this one with Olivia and Vaughn was pure New York magic. We met at The Plaza (because where else do you start an iconic NYC love story?) and wandered into Central Park to enjoy the fall foliage. Between the golden leaves, the skyline peeking through the trees, and these two looking like they stepped out of a movie, it was one of those shoots that makes you fall in love with the city all over again.
This session was extra special — a little love letter to NYC before Olivia and Vaughn’s next chapter. If you ever needed proof that New York makes everything look cinematic, just wait until you see these two under the golden leaves of autumn.
Thank you Olivia and Vaughn for letting me photograph the two of you in your special place. I wish you all the best in your next chapter! |

I'm seriously falling for family moments at Waveny Park!
I had the absolute joy of photographing this picture-perfect family at Waveny Park in New Canaan. It's one of my favorite places to photograph anytime but the fall is unreal! The fall colors were showing off (honestly, same), and this crew brought all the greatest vibes to match. Jennifer, Ian, Vivien, Kendrick, and Juliet were all so much fun together - so many laughs!
Fall is nature's way of saying "Call Cheryl NOW and book your session during this time of amazing color!" With the fiery foliage as a backdrop, family photos this time of year have that unbeatable mix of warmth and wonder. These are the moments that remind us how fast time leaves (see what I did there?) and why capturing them matters. |

I had the sweetest family session on the Upper West Side at Big River Playground! Manita and Gautam brought their two little ones, Arya and Amer, and we spent our time playing and exploring together.
Arya led the way with her adventurous spirit while little Amer followed right behind. This was the ideal setting for energetic kids and authentic moments.
I love sessions like this where the photos feel like a true reflection of family life—playful, warm, and filled with love. The Upper West Side is such a special backdrop, and this beautiful family made it shine even more! I mean, come ON, this family and the setting are gorgeous - I couldn't help but have fun!
Thank you Manita, Gautam, Arya, and Amer for being so great to photograph and hang out with! Until next time... |
Photographing families in beautiful settings is always a joy for me, but last Fall I found myself in an incredible location at The Stanwich Club in Greenwich, CT. Between the landscape, the foliage, and this gorgeous family, I was in heaven.
Lauren, Tom, and Sawyer fit the scene perfectly. From the moment we hopped into the golf carts and set off across the course, I knew I was in for a treat. The Stanwich Club offered the ideal backdrop for these three beauties and I was able to capture the essence of this family in their happy place.
These are the moments I love most as a photographer. Thank you Lauren, Tom, and Sawyer, for trusting me to capture your story at such a stunning location. It was an honor! |
