Well, I first met Ben almost ten years ago.  I was just starting out in the biz, and we did a family session right in this very spot in Central Park.  While I was getting ready to set up the shot, his Dad turned him upside down, creating a most fun and memorable image, complete with candid, natural smiles.  I just love it when things happen that way.  Fast forward… I was touched when his mom remembered their great experience, and reached out to me about photographing Ben’s upcoming Bar Mitzvah.  For this park shoot, they were hoping to capture a James Dean look.  Think we succeeded!?  I’d say so!  Swoon, swoon. 🙂
