Exquisite… | NY Child Photographer | Westchester, New York

5 comments

So many of my sessions involve soothing newborns or coaxing young kids that I forget how wonderful it is to shoot willing models.   These two were not only willing but each had a beauty that was unique and truly exquisite.  And sure that makes my job easier, but even still, I think what I liked most was the way they interacted with each other.  There was obviously a lot of love between them, but also enough teasing and kidding to make the results natural and fun.

Daydream…. | NJ Newborn Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey

3 comments

This little girl decided to arrive early.  So small and delicate, she was a dream to photograph.  She slept for the whole session and barely fussed one bit.  Just when we started the bowl shot, she started waking up – hungry!  So I had to work fast…but she stayed still just long enough…

Bring on the beach… | NJ Beach Photographer | Long Beach Island, New Jersey

8 comments

If you live in the north east, you know you’re ready for summer.  It’s been a long, cold winter and a very wet spring and I think we’re all dreaming about some warm days in the sun with sand between our toes…

Well, it’s never too early to think about booking a beach session.  This family bravely booked theirs for the beginning of April.  Wow – that’s daring!  Miraculously, it was a balmy 55º with very little wind….what were the chances?  I must say it was quite beautiful.  LBI off-season is less crowded but no less special.  And there’s no line at The Black Whale either.

This mom’s objective was to get just one good shot of the whole family together…I think we more than succeeded.  Her twin girl and boy were not only adorable in looks but had the most endearing personalities as well.  Mom & Dad couldn’t have been cooler.  We had some real fun together….

Mom did a fabulous job of dressing and accessorizing.  I love that.  You can see how nicely denim photographs, and adding bows and fun jewelry can really enhance the look. I love her off-the-shoulder sweater also…

Lil Sleeper… | Newborn Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey

This little baby girl slept like a champ.  She was just a week old and seemed to comfortably curl up into all the different positions we tried…and look how peaceful she looks.  We even got to have some fun with “the hammock” shot – which is always great when it turns out, but trust me, they have to be in a pretty good slumber for that one!  With her delicate features and beautiful coloring, she is such a precious baby.  Oh and I just love her lip in the last one…sigh!

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!

Connections… | Maternity & Child Photographer | Westchester, NY

4 comments

I titled this blog post “connections” because that is what I felt during this shoot.  A beautiful connection between this radiant mother-to-be and her family and neighbor ~ everyone was so warm and welcoming.   It was a hot 90 degree day, but we found some shade under two big beautiful trees at her neighbor’s house, who was so sweet and friendly in inviting us to use his yard where we did the majority of the session.  We did sneak inside for a break and wardrobe change, where we took one of my favorite maternity shots by the window… I just love this mother’s beautiful profile and the look of love she has for her baby-to-be.  Afterwards, we went back outside for more fun with her adorable 16 month old daughter.  She was a little shy at first, but soon opened up and shared her sweet smile with us all…and of course, you can see the amazing connection between mother and daughter…
