There’s nothing more beautiful than a newborn being held in his mother’s arms. Or a sleeping baby…so pure and peaceful. Capturing these precious moments is what makes my job meaningful and I feel privileged every time I am given the opportunity…
Congratulations to this family on their beautiful baby boy…

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!
This baby boy was such a little beauty. He was all of a week old when I met him and was so cute he gave me baby fever (one of the hazards of my job!) Once he fell asleep, he stayed soooo peaceful and content – which makes the baby fever even worse!! I mean, just look at this sweet little face… Here’s a sneak peek for mom and dad – it was great to meet you and your beautiful family!

This family got rained out – twice! So we had to reschedule for the only weekend available …Labor Day! That’s right, just in time for Hurricane Earl. Well that ended up being no threat at all, but it did keep us wondering…
It was my last beach session of the summer and I wanted to go out with a bang! I could feel the enthusiasm over the phone with this family and their two boys were fun and full of energy, which makes for such a great beach shoot! Of course, they’re being so handsome doesn’t hurt either! I really love the variety we got…and I am especially fond of the last shot by the light house. (Note to self>I need one like that of my family!)
Wonderful to meet you guys…thanks for a such a nice ending to a fun-filled summer!! 🙂

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…

Brother and sister…and good friends too! You could tell after a few minutes that these two were real buddies! They were constantly laughing and joking – it was awesome to see and made for some adorable images! (They’re being beautiful doesn’t hurt either!)
This family travels all the way from Texas to vacation at the Jersey shore…I’m telling you, LBI is just that special! It was really a pleasure to meet them all…they could not have been any warmer or friendlier…and two hours passed in a snap.
Towards the end of our session, we ran into some sea-creatures and this brave boy showed me how to put a crab to sleep. Apparently if you flip it over and rub it’s belly it falls asleep within a few seconds. That’s when he picked it up and showed it to me up close! Eeeeew! Well, it was kinda cool actually. Can’t say the same for the sting ray we found…

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…

Everytime I do a newborn photo session, I am reminded of what an incredible time of life this is. Cherish these early years…they go by in a flash. My boys are 6 and 8 and their newborn days seem like a lifetime ago. But I love that in my job I get to relive the wonder of the newborn stage…
Only 6 days young for his photo session, this beautiful boy was so comfortable being held by his father that we decided to capture the moment. I love this first one… The beautiful knit with the heart shaped button is by Mamique and if anyone’s in the market for some gorgeous newborn wear, then go straight to their blog after this!
In the meantime, enjoy the sweetness of this little guy…

We first worked with Christine for our daughter’s newborn shoot and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Not only were the photos gorgeous, but she was also the baby whisperer! She was so gentle and sweet with our daughter, she didn’t wake up once! A year later we again worked with Christine for our daughter’s first birthday, and we are over the moon with the results! This time, her subject was a lot more challenging - a crawling baby who wouldn’t stay in one place for more than a few seconds! However, she still managed to capture the most beautiful shots and moments. You would never be able to tell what Christine was wrangling behind the scenes! She was also super hands on with the shoot itself - even helping us to rearrange some furniture in our home to maximize space. She is incredibly kind, amazing with children and just an overall pleasure to be around! So fortunate we found Christine so we can continue this tradition in the years to come.
