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…

Autumn Angels… | New Jersey Children’s Photographer | Bergen County, NJ

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…

Hello again… | Children’s Photographer | Bergen County, NJ

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…

We are family…. | Family Photographer | Bergen County, NJ

This family session was awesome….a beautiful expecting mom, a hilarious dad and check out this little sweet pea they have for a daughter…  She wasn’t quite into her photo shoot at first, but we eventually got the most adorable expressions out of her.   Oh what a few goldfish and toys’ll do!

Mom was radiant…and nothing but belly!  I love this one of her.

City Girl… | NYC Child Photographer | Madison Square Park, NYC

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting the most adorable one year old girl and her family this past weekend.  She was celebrating her birthday that day…and man, was she on the go.  Apparently she just started walking recently and boy was she good at it!  Actually, she’s pretty good at running…as you will see below.  I love shooting in New York City…so many amazing sites and backdrops for photos.  Madison Square park has a lovely fountain and is close to the iconic Flat Iron Building…

It was wonderful meeting your beautiful family…  I hope your birthday party was a blast and that we didn’t wear you out too much during the shoot!

Connections… | Maternity & Child Photographer | Westchester, NY

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…

Just beachy… | Child Photographer | Long Beach Island, NJ

Ok..sorry for the bad pun.  But it was a perfect morning for a beach portrait session on LBI with this adorable 2 year old girl!  I’m not a morning person, but obviously my model was… she was on the go and so fun to follow around.  We had the beach all to ourselves, too (except for a few seagulls and joggers).  Here are a few favorites including some precious moments with her beautiful mommy…

Two and a half… | Children Photographer | Bergen County NJ

…and cute as a button.    This little guy was soooo endearing and adorable, I really wanted to take him home with me.  He was on the go for sure, playing tag with mom, chasing geese and looking for foxes.  Oh yeah, and feeding leaves to my dinosaur! (That dinosaur makes the rounds!)  You may remember the newborn session with his baby sister…she was the beautiful girl in the pink pettiskirt. Well, apparently, good looks run in the family, as you’ll see…

I love his expression in this first one.
