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.

Spirited! | Newborn Photographer | Bergen County, New Jersey

3 comments

This little girl was, in her dad’s words… “spirited.”  She woke up in between almost every pose and gave a good little cry.   Luckily, her dad was so fantastic at soothing her back into a slumber, that we named him “the baby whisperer.”   Mom and Dad actually came all the way down from West Point for their session …with a cadet uniform in tow! (It made for a great prop!)  It was really fun collaborating with this sweet little girl’s mom on the look of the session and the various props.  They also brought pink roses and hydrangeas for the session…I love it!  And, as you can see in the last shot, big brother was also on hand for a handsome portrait with his baby sister.  A beautiful family indeed and a fun session…

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…

She slept like…well, a baby! | NY Newborn Photographer | Orange County New York

3 comments

This precious little baby girl was one of my first newborn shoots of the summer and let me tell ya, it was a hot one!!  As babies tend to sleep much better in the heat, I asked mom to turn off the AC so we could get her groggy for the session.  Well, she fell asleep and stayed in a deep slumber the whole time as I sweat bullets, but the results were well worth it.  She is beautiful, just like her mommy, and I love the image of the two of them;  we decided to get that pose at the last minute and sometimes those end up being some of the best ones!  Hope you enjoy the rest of your summer girls…

Fun with Four… | NJ Children’s Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey

3 comments

I love that I get to encourage laughing on the job!  It doesn’t always work, but it certainly did for this session.  These four kids were awesome…they were engaging, interesting, and just delightful.  They laughed easily, especially the girls, which not only makes my job easier but more fun.  And I’m all about fun on the job.  These portraits are a surprise Father’s Day gift from their mom to their dad and I just love that idea.

It’s always fun for me to try to capture each child’s unique beauty and I think you can see the different personalities shining through in these images…

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…

Growing up fast… | NJ Children’s Photographer | Ringwood, New Jersey

1 comment

I met both these kids as newborns and it blows me away to see how quickly they’ve grown!   This little girl doesn’t like to be away from mommy’s arms for too long, but we did manage to get some winning smiles while she sat all by herself!  She looked just beautiful in the Crewcut dress mom put her in for the shoot, and had lovely accessories to match.  I am loving her wind-blown hair, her little hands and that gentle smile in this first shot.   This is my third time photographing her older brother –  he gets more gorgeous every time I see him.  Just check out his big brown eyes.   Love the ‘do, too!
