A Room with a View… | NJ Newborn Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey

4 comments

I’ve been loving all the newborn shoots I’ve had lately.  I love how differently each one turns out.  Each baby is one of a kind; each family has a different story; and every home that I enter has a style and feel of it’s own.    I like to incorporate as much of this as I can into each session to make it a custom experience…that keeps it fresh and exciting for me and also unique for my clients.  This baby’s parents had such a cool bedroom…I just had to use their purple walls as a backdrop.  Throw in some beautiful window light, a gorgeous dresser and a zebra rug and voila –  styling complete!  It doesn’t hurt that this baby brother is just a sweet as can be.   Enjoy the view…

Birthday boy… | NJ Child Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey

I love watching children grow up.  I first met this adorable boy as a newborn and he is already celebrating his 1st birthday!   Wow – did that year fly by!  I recently posted the “cake smash” portion of this session, but there were so many other great shots outside and in his room that I thought I’d share them too.  He is clearly a natural in front of the camera, but also has one of the most pleasant dispositions ever!  What a happy and delightful boy.

One year older… | NJ Baby Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey

OK…this is just the kind of angelic face that makes me, the mother of two wonderful boys, want a little girl.  It happened a year ago at her newborn session and it happened again a year later during her one year session.  Doesn’t help that she is sweet as pie with me…I could just take her home!  OH and the accessories…bows, flowers, pearl bracelet, pink slippers…I was dyin!

Her nursery is fabulously decorated, from the crib to the dresser to the curtains.  I have to say, I just love how the framed portrait from our previous session fits right in…

And here is her big brother, who I photographed last summer.  In this first photo, I caught him entranced by the tv and I just love the feel of it.  Soon afterwards he was engaged and smiling.  I think it’s the sparkle in his eyes that makes him such a beautiful model …just like his sister!

Party Time! | NJ Baby Photographer | Bergen County, New Jersey

4 comments

I’ve been remiss in my blogging, but I thought I’d start things back up with a bang…and a smash…a cake smash, that is.

This was my first one and I have to admit, the thought of a baby smashing and throwing pieces of cake kinda made me nervous.  I know that my OCD is totally showing right now, but hey…part of this blog is getting to know me, right???  This boy was SOOOO adorable and cute about figuring out just what to do with his over-sized birthday cupcake that we were giggling and laughing up a storm the whole time.  Do I drum with it?  Do I squish it?  Do I eat….hey, this tastes pretty good!!!   There were so many great shots, that limiting it to four was tough, but I really loved the idea of a storyboard.  Also, we video taped it and put together a session slideshow that features a combination of video footage and photos.  I have to say I LOVE how it turned out and I think it’s a great way to capture a session!  I’m thinking about regularly offering this as one of my products. I’ll keep you posted…

Happy birthday to you little man…you are adorable beyond words!

Cloudy days… | NJ Child Photographer | Essex County, NJ

I’ve really been neglecting this blog…but have a bunch of sessions that I can’t wait to share…

This session was almost rained out, until mom came up with a fantastic location for us (which shall remain nameless) in West Orange.   Not only were we able to shoot inside, but the rain held off as it often turns out, so we ventured outside as well.  Cloudy days can make for some beautiful sessions as the clouds really soften and diffuse the sunlight.   Never shy away from a cloudy day session!   Anyway, I always love when we have a variety of cool backgrounds and this little model was just adorable in both looks and personality.  Talk about easy-going!  He just played happily the whole time…

These two were really sweet models and mom was quite the entertainer, I must say.  I’d love to have her around for all my shoots to make kids smile, laugh and even dance!   Combine two adorable kids, a silly mom and a scenic location at peak foliage and this is what can happen…

Well, since the busy season has started, my intention was to keep this blog post short…but I just couldn’t help myself.  I have so many that I love from this session I just kept adding them.   I will keep the words short though…just want to say that I first met this boy when he was only 4 months old and his big sister was two.  Now he is one year old, running and laughing and is just adorable!  His big sister is three and is just as beautiful as ever.  Take a look and see for yourself…
