When this stylish European couple moved from France to Brooklyn, they reached out looking for a different kind of maternity session for their first baby. We brainstormed, talked about their style, and decided that the vibrant streets of Bushwick were the perfect match. They wanted a location that reflected their adventurous spirit and love for color—and Bushwick delivered!
With bold graffiti, bright blue skies, and so much laughter, this session was all about celebrating their new chapter in New York City. From the very first shot, it was clear that we were going to have an amazing time. And, as it turns out, this wasn’t just the start of a photo journey—it was the beginning of a long friendship.
After their maternity session, we photographed their newborn, later their second baby, and over the years, we became close friends—even traveling to Portugal together! Our kids are the same age and are now great friends, too. It’s incredible how photography can bring people together in unexpected and beautiful ways.
And of course, after our session, we wrapped up with the best falafel in Brooklyn at The Queen of Falafel—because no Bushwick adventure is complete without good food! The neighborhood is full of great spots to check out. Some of our faves are:
- Union Pizza Works – A cozy, industrial-style spot serving delicious wood-fired pizzas with a perfectly crispy crust.
- Pitanga – A charming Brazilian café known for its açaí bowls, fresh juices, and tropical flavors.
- Santa Salsa Street– A vibrant Venezuelan street food joint famous for its loaded hot dogs and arepas.
- Roberta’s – A Bushwick institution serving some of the best Neapolitan-style pizza in NYC, with a cool, laid-back vibe.
