Real Life

Kim and Charlie

New York

We had such a special time with Kim and Charlie in New York, experiencing this city as the locals do… rooftop dinners with New Yorkers (tacos for the win), Dim Sum brunch, strolls in Prospect Park, Starbucks and other caffeine fixes and a sunset boat cruise to name just a few of the activities (in-between all the walking and exploring and snaking subways!) Charlie’s warm sarcasm and Kim’s happy dimpled grin were a pleasure to photograph and it’s not like they had a choice in the matter either! Continents were crossed and bureaucratic paperwork was smashed, stars aligned and Kim could settle in all the way from the mountainous shores of Cape Town to take a juicy bite of the Big Apple, she’s taking it by storm and all in her cool, calm high-heeled stride… 10 blocks? No problem! Even though it’s still just a few chapters in to the book of Kim and Charlie, contentedly living their lives in their Brooklyn apartment, along with the lady of the house, the dish-washer-frolicking bundle of kitty-nonsense, Cupcake! I’m really excited for the rest of their story – nothing makes me happier than taking pictures of happy couples! Walking around with these two, the chaos of the city dulled to a faint hum as they interact so naturally in their happy bubble, blissfully unaware of the rest of the world whizzing by.

I just want to hold your hand and wonder the streets with you...

    I am Charlie’s Mom. How wonderful to see how happy Charlie is! Kim is so important to all of us and we love her greatly. These beautiful pictures capture so well her fierce fabulousness, both inside and out! How lucky we are to have her in our lives. Well, can’t really give Luck the credit. I think it was the magic of Capetown, and blessings from Zoe and Ghetha, that enabled Charlie to truly see this amazing creature for the shining star that she is!
    Thank you, Kristi, for these treasures! May have to dedicate a whole new wall to these two!!!! Randi
