Bright Eyes… | NY Baby Photographer | Rockland, New York

6 comments

Nine weeks old and very bright eyed, this boy was a beautiful model.  Now, I definitely do not recommend this age for “newborn” shoots because they just do not stay asleep, BUT for this very special person I just had to comply.  We gave it our best college try…getting him all cuddly and warm and ready for a nap…and ready for a nap….okay, not so much. But I have to say I am so happy with how we captured him!  He was awake for most of the time, but catching these wonderful expressions of his soulful, blue eyes told me it worked out just fine that way.  Mom did want some “sleepy” shots, so once he did fall asleep, it was snap, snap, snap then he promptly woke up.  I think we managed to get some beauties of him both awake and in a perfectly peaceful slumber…

Coat’s off!!! | NJ Children’s Photographer | Ringwood, New Jersey

Outdoor winter session….hmmmm….I’m kind of a wimp about the cold, so I was a little worried.  I think I wore about 15 layers just to be sure I’d survive.  Well, the temperature was no problem for these dapper cousins.  Some kids are just oblivious to the cold and these guys were too busy having fun to even notice that it was winter out.  Granted, this was before the onslaught of snow, but still!  Anyway, talk about great models! Look how handsome they are and I love their natural posing.   The grounds at Ringwood Manor made braving the cold so worth it!  I love the natural textures of wood, stone and ivy…what beautiful backdrops.

A huge thank you to their aunt…she not only arranged the session as a surprise to her sister and mother but she was AWESOME at getting them to giggle at just the right moments!!!  Love that!
