Family Photos in Paris
Here are some of the photos Alpha Smoot took of us when she was in Paris last month. I wanted some really casual family photos that showed us in our Paris apartment. I really tried not to fuss too much with outfits or hair so it would look natural and not too perfect. Alpha was great to work with, I sent her pictures of The Glow as inspiration and then she just hung out with us for a couple hours one morning. I love how they turned out, and they totally captured our Paris apartment. The last picture you can see shows us at the cafe below our apartment. Those windows were our bedrooms!

These are amazing! You really should be featured on the Glow.
Aww, gorgeous photos. What a sweet family and I love your hair!
your babies are beautiful!
Jordan – these are simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing these!
Your boys are handsome and you look so chic.
That series of Moses in the red hat is too cute!
What a great way to capture some casual, real-life photos- I want to do that!
these. are. wonderful.
Perfect and amazing! I LOVE that top photo of Paul reading to the boys. They look completely engrossed. And Roman’s yellow sweater with the shoulder buttons is adorable! I need a boy next
I also like the saturated colour of the toys among the neutrals of the apartment. And Moses in the red hat. Basically I love it all 
I love these! Documentary sessions are my favorite to shoot, I think that photography is best when it’s storytelling in nature rather than overly posed. I know you’ll treasure these for years to come.
oh man, you guys are such a photogenic family! the photos of the boys room and their individual portraits are my favorite. miss you!
simple yet stunning! quality time captured!

I love the photos! You and your family make me think I could take mine to Paris some day.
Would you mind sharing the source for the marble track please? My son would love to play with that.
I like your jacket !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D’où vient-elle?
I love these! They seem to capture everything so perfectly. Great idea too!
beautiful! I love how real and candid they are!
The pictures of the boys with the cowboy hat and mask are the sweetest! And living above a Parisian cafe?! What a dream!
These photos are really incredible–so genuine and humble. How did you find the perfect photographer?
I love these family photos. They’re beautiful and something that completely captures the essence of your family life. Such a great alternative to the traditional awkwardly-posed family photos.
Jordan, I had to come out of “blog lurking” status to tell you how chic and lovely these photos of you and your family are! The photographer outdid herself in terms of capturing some fantastic, fleeting moments. thanks for sharing!
beautiful pictures
p.s. i love roman’s boots
I need to get that Alpha Smoot over to my house for some pics. Well done. Cute boys.
LOVE these!

Oh I love these photos! So real, but still so stylish. your boys are the cutest and I love your hair too!!
Le sigh. Such stunning photos. How lovely to have such mementos of your Paris life.

I’m sure you guys hear this a lot, but *wow* Paul looks like Joss Whedon!

Hi, just came here with the post “At the French Market”… and was very pleased to read that.
Nice blog and nice family pictures ! Wish you all the best for your living in Paris.
Absolutely gorgeous and so natural!
Hi Jordan, I am new to your blog! These are lovely photos!
Your older boy really looks like your husband! 
These are absolutely gorgeous! You all could pass as native Parisian citizens – sophisticated, stylish, elegant!
what a great idea to show the glow as inspiration—i love that site and think they do a much better job at capturing emotions and relationships than typical child photography. your photos look GREAT!!
Your boys are so adorable. How sweet to capture this special time in your family’s life with such beautiful photos!
Love these pictures. Have recently found your blog as I have a young one and am always on the lookout for aesthetic toys. Could you specify what blocks those are?
