I always feel incredibly flattered when people who know me – who I’ve often been photographing for years “for fun” (I’m the kind of person who whips the camera out at every occasion – I really enjoy photography!) wants to pay me to do a photoshoot.

For the Sugerman Family, I know Shiran through my work at Spitfire Inbound (where I am a content strategist and not a photographer) and was incredibly pleased when she asked me to document them at this time of their lives.

In fact, I was sorting through my kid’s photoalbums just this weekend and felt so strongly that every moment is ephemeral and every stage is fleeting. Shiran, I hope these photos help you to remember the feeling of these warm, wriggly bodies before they get bigger and even more independent.
