Here at Christine DeSavino Photography we’ve been working hard at putting together some exciting new plans to better serve our clients,
and we’re ready
to start announcing what’s now in bloom…


Blossom One: Baby’s First Year Plan

Beautiful newborn girl with roses - NJ Newborn Photographer

Many of you who follow my photography know how much I adore newborn sessions….there’s nothing more special to me than capturing the purity of a new little one.  The first few days of an infant’s life are so precious and endearing, but equally remarkable is the baby’s entire first year.  From holding up their head to rolling over, from beginning to crawl to walking and eventually cruising all over the house, a baby will grow more during this first year than any other time in their life.  And it goes by so quickly…

So to commemorate this treasured time, I’ve created a brand new plan that will capture and celebrate each milestone of a baby’s first year.

Here are the details of my Baby Plan:

  • one full newborn session within the first 10 days of birth
  • one full 6-month-old session (or around the time your baby begins to crawl)
  • one full 12-month-old session (or around the time your baby begins to criuse, this is the perfect time for a Cake Smash Session!)
  • optional mini-sessions at 3 & 9 months (or when your baby holds their head up & when your baby begins to walk)
  • optional maternity-mini-session
  • each full session is priced at a discount
  • each full session comes with a $100 complimentary Fine Art Canvas Credit, mini-sessions come with a $50 credit
  • the completed baby plan comes with a $300 complimentary Album Credit
  • over $600 worth of built in savings!

 

And in order to help our plan to grow…

the first 5 people who book my Baby Plan during the month of May will receive:

 

  • 1 free box of Birth Announcement Cards at completion of their Newborn Session
  • 1 free  20×20 Storyboard commemorating each stage of their child’s first year at completion of the baby plan


For full details and pricing, please call me at 917-697-1835 or contact me here.

And keep checking back as there are more buds about to burst here at our studio!

6 days old… | NJ Newborn Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey

Only 6 days old when I met her, this baby girl was all of 5 lbs when she was born.  Being so young and small made our session an easy one…she slept the entire time and was very easy to pose.  Her mother did a fantastic job with the girlie accessories.  This first headband with the leopard print was my favorite, and the pink bloomers a close second.  Dad was also there to lend a “hand” and with more than just the hammock, as you’ll see…  Enjoy!

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

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…

Rock-n-Roll Angel… | NJ Newborn Photographer | Bergen County NJ

Look how peacefully this little newborn girl is sleeping.  You would never guess that her dad lulled her into this slumber by cranking up a Pandora rock station.  That’s right, he said she liked rock music and cued up a station that played Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and The Police to send her into la-la land.  Of course, I was happy during the shoot, but I would never have imagined a one week old would sleep serenely to the crooning of some classic Rod Stewart.  Shows you what I know.

I love her little angel face…I think some new sample canvases featuring this little beauty will be ordered soon – for me!

I love how it looks like she’s wearing lip-liner in this next one.  She is so delicate and beautiful…

I was lucky enough to catch some beautiful expressions while she was awake…and alert!  Just look at these eyes…

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!

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

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…

Three… | New Jersey Family Photographer | Hudson County, New Jersey

7 comments

Three months is very young…yet there is such a big difference between a newborn session and a three month old session.   At three months, babies are alert, can hold their heads up and can even push up off their bellies sometimes like this little boy.  No more teeny-tiny, sleeping baby poses…instead it’s wide eyes, cooing and hopefully with the right prompts, some adorable smiles.  Some people feel you can see more of  your baby’s personality at this age and so decide to wait until the 3 or 6 month milestone.  I have to admit, I love photographing BOTH stages!

This little boy was such a joy….he was so calm and pleasant, and barely fussed at all.  The secret to keeping him engaged…just jingle some keys and he was happily interested!  These family shots are among my favorites…mom and dad had such a warm and gentle way about them and I really feel that this comes across in these images.
