The other month I got together with a good friend, Lindsay Pinchuk, and owner of Bump Club Chicago – Chicago’s first and only social event group for new and expecting moms – for both pictures of her family and a little catching up. At the end of our visit we took some time to brainstorm future plans for Simply by Suzy and Bump Club, ultimately deciding that it would be a fantastic idea to start doing monthly casting call sessions for her VIPs. Not only am I totally psyched to support Lindsay and her moms through these sessions but I’m really looking forward to seeing what direction this goes in for impacting my artwork.. as an artist I crave trying new things, even if it’s something so small as working with a family purely out of my own creative desire, and I think this will be the perfect outlet to push myself creatively and meet some really awesome families along the way 🙂
Our first casting call was for a newborn session and took place last month here in the city. We got together one rainy day (ahh the gloom and storms seem to be making a regular appearance these days..) and literally just hung out, chatted about life in NYC, great foodie spots to hit up (Vasili and I are BIG breakfast foodies!), and lots of feeding time. We also did some of our usual sleepy shots but thought it would be pretty cool to leave her sweet onesie outfit on to make something new out of something old. New ideas are always a hit or miss.. this one was definitely a hit for us.
Anyway here are but a few of my favorites from our morning together. A big congrats to this VIP family on their new addition and also an even bigger thank you for allowing to us the pleasure of spending time with you and for capturing your most special new treasure. We had so much fun getting to know you three and are looking forward to catching up again soon hopefully XO
