34 years…And I’m finally understanding that it’s not about how fast you are going towards your goals… its about the clarity behind the why. It’s about getting to the point where you can eliminate any and every distraction that will further derail you from your purpose. It’s about putting one more foot in front of the other no matter how small a step that may be. It’s about continuing to get up, cause this is BIGGER than you (and your feelings). Growth is inevitable NOT because you are getting older, but because you choose to continue to fail. So keep wondering, keep dreaming, keep believing. I pray God will make all things clear to you.

@annehathaway & @jessicachastain in Mothers’ Instinct. Out TODAY in select theaters in the US. Photo by me. 🥹 I don’t quite have the words yet to accurately describe what an honor it was to even witness these two powerhouses in person.

2020 is when I first met #ginatorres. She was so gracious posing for these photos after a really long day on set. I will never take for granted the opportunity to photograph living legends. It was such an honor to showcase how I saw her through my eyes.

Summer throwback with this ⭐️ @princessyardie Bookings now for June-July.

1️⃣ Get a good night’s sleep! 💤 Can’t stress this one enough! Sleep is 100x better than photoshop. Prioritize rest! 2️⃣ Stay Hydrated! 💦 Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol to prevent puffiness and bloating for clear skin. 3️⃣ Don’t try new hairstyles or makeup the day of 💆‍♀️ If you aren’t using our HMU team, Stick to what you know looks good on you. The day of the photoshoot is NOT the time to experiment. Trust me on this. 4️⃣ Wear loose clothing on the way in With tight clothing, sometimes it take 15-20 mins to get rid of those line marks on the skin. 5️⃣ Eat a real meal beforehand! 🍽️ This is a big one! A balanced meal 2 hours before your shoot helps keep energy and focus steady, crucial for children too. 6️⃣ Nail Prep 💅 People often overlook this one. Clean, polished nails make a huge difference in photos. 7️⃣ Come with a clean, freshly washed face and hair 💆‍♀️ Our HMU team is the best. They get to work the minute you walk in. Having a clean fresh canvas helps tremendously. 8️⃣ Bring extra accessories, shoes, clothing 👠 Sometimes when the creativity is flowing, we may pair another outfit or accessory that completes the overall look. Better to come over prepared then to not. 9️⃣ Create a confidence-boosting playlist 🎶 Music just elevates the vibe and you know what hypes you up better than anybody. It’s such an important factor in photoshoots. 🔟 Try not to plan anything immediately afterwards 😌 Rushing causes chaos. When your mind is free from anything else other than the session it keeps you present. Maintaining a calm, and clear mind helps so much with the overall flow and energy of the shoot. Save this post when planning your next shoot! A. Longchamp Photography, New York Portrait Photography. Link in bio 🔗

There is nothing on earth like a mother’s love 💗 Happy Mother’s Day to every mama!

Happy Mother’s Day to all my beautiful mommas! Remember to celebrate yourself and remember who you were before becoming a mom 🌸

I will never take moments like these for granted. Being trusted to step into moments this sacred. This was Soli’s very first photoshoot 🥹 I had the HONOR of watching a mother love her baby in real time, right in front of my camera… there are no words. There’s just this feeling that settles in your chest and reminds you why this work matters. Today I’m just grateful. Grateful for her trust, grateful for this art, and grateful that these images will live with this family forever. I literally teared up reading her review at the end. 🫶🏾 Ready to create yours?

There’s something so special about witnessing a mother and daughter together. You start to realize how they are so much more similar than different. Same eyes. Same laugh. Same way of tilting their head when they smile. And then I just sit there in awe once again, realizing I’m not just documenting a moment. I’m documenting years and years of shared moments together. All wrapped up in this moment here. And now these images will go down in their history. 🥹😭 It really doesn’t matter how much older you get, grab your mom & take the photos. I PROMISE you, you’ll thank me later. I have two openings May 9 for a Mother’s Day experience.

Seen. When I got the opportunity to photograph Zakiya the first thing I thought about was how can I showcase her heart? If anybody has the opportunity to have even 1 conversation with Z, you would know exactly what I mean. The type of person that SEES you. Truly sees you. And takes you in exactly as you are. Seen. That’s what I feel every time I leave my beautiful friend. This headshot session quickly became an ode to honor her quiet strength, her enduring spirit and her unwavering love. And I am so proud to witness her pour all of that into @jahva.coffee.co . A new wellness coffee company that creates a wide variety of Teas, Matcha’s & specialty Coffees. It is truly one of the best tasting coffee and matcha drinks I have ever had. And I can see why, given she pours all of her incredible energy into serving and creating each cup. Z, I’m so proud of what you’ve created. I can’t wait for the world to encounter @jahva.coffee.co Photo: @a.longchampphotography Clothing: @steuben.vintage.closet
