Central Park NYC Portrait Photography // Redefining the Family Portrait Experience // Angelsea Urban // Tara and Ben Peddicord

Every chapter of a love story deserves its sacred place in time. The first one, the second, the 7th, the 18th….. numbers are milestones yes, but they are also just a number. Every chapter is important. Every day is sweet. Everyday deserves celebration. Tara and Ben did just that on a cold day in Central Park New York, New York celebrating life and love.

Tara and Ben are one of the sweetest couples ever. Together since childhood, having been through it all through thick and thin, and now building a new home too (you can check out their home building adventure – along with Tara’s beautiful photography here). Steve and I had a blast getting to spend the day with these two as we hit some of our favorite quintessential New York City Spots. Central Park’s Bethesda Terrace, Bow Bridge, and Bryant Park.

As a business owner, it’s not always that I get to do whatever the heck I want in a commissioned portrait session. It’s important to be consistent in the work that you show so potential clients can get an idea of what to expect for their own portraits and their own experience when working with me. It’s just good general business practice. Most of my portrait sessions are relationship focused with a heavy concentration on the family dynamic and the special bonds that exist between them. Showcasing their life and love and preserving their family relationships through a unique portrait experience.

While we still had a heavy concentration on Tara & Ben’s relationship in this portrait session, we brought NYC to center stage as well. Artistically I had a lot of fun with this and it wouldn’t have been possible without their full support. Trusting me to do whatever the heck I wanted not knowing in advance what the outcome might be, especially with swarms of people in every direction. Being so patient as I meticulously positioned them around blocking this or that.  Not to mention it was totally freezing and windy and Tara was in a GOWN… a gown and was totally a trooper who deserves a medal just for that. Needless to say, it was a treat for me to be able to create these special portraits for two dear friends.

Please enjoy a few of my personal favorites from our time together.

Thanks for visiting today!
