Isabel's Mini Newborn Session

When I’ve received an inquiry to photography Isabel’s Newborn mini session in December, I was very excited. I love photographing Newborn mini sessions because it allows me enough time to photograph babies wrapped/swaddled up both on the blankets and in props.

So when Isabel arrived to the world, her mom had many requests and the number 1 request for her daughter’s session was to photograph her using the moon bowl. So I was excited to capture her daughter in blue.

The colors that were used for her session were rose, neutral colors and blue. For the beanbag/blanket wrapped pictures, I chose rose and really loved the color that I recently bought. Its a very muted but classic Rose color that compliments all skin tones. I first wrapped Isabel in both an underwrap and an pretty warm wrap to get her very sleepy. I used both headbands and bonnets to provide variety. Every mom wants their daughter photographed in headbands but bonnets on babies gives that it different, peaceful look.

Then I photographed her in the moon bowl with a blue and starry backdrop, using both a blue headband and using a sleepy cap, with a sparkly stone headband on top.

Lastly I photographed Isabel in a wooden brown bowl against a wood backdrop that I love using for all newborn photo shoots. The brown and the pink/rose tones really compliment each other everytime.

Victoria's Newborn Photo Session

Victoria’s mom reached out to me to photograph her baby that was born. My earliest availability at that time was a month in advance and she took that time slot. So I was very excited to photograph Victoria at the age of 2 months old.

When Victoria’s mom chose her photo session color palette of blues and neutrals, I was looking forward to photographing her baby in blue since pink and peach are colors usually chosen by most moms.

We first started the session with photographing her family first and then sibling shots and both types of pictures came out nicely. Then I photographed Victoria in different types of props and she looked soo pretty in them. Even though she was wide awake for her entire session, she was such a happy baby taking everything in.

Lastly I photographed Victoria in a baby blue lace romper and a pretty headband. She looked soo pretty!!

Even though photographing babies at 2 months old wont get you those traditional newborn poses, it was such a great photo shoot just capturing Victoria’s personality and the entire family.

Kristina's Maternity Photo Shoot

I’m always excited when my clients book me for in advance for their maternity session because it allows us to style the session as much as possible. Kristina booked me for both her maternity and newborn sessions and it was such a great experience to work with her.

For Kristina’s maternity photo shoot, she chose her location at Snug Harbor and chose two dresses to be photographed in. Her dresses was a Black dress with a sweetheart neckline and chiffon layers at the bottom and her second dress was a blue dress with a sweetheart neckline with a slightly sheer chiffon material at the knees with a long train. Both dresses looked beautifully on her!

I always have a great time photographing at Snug Harbor Cultural Center because you can get different looks at one location. The first half of the photo shoot, Kristina was photographed in the black chiffon dress and she looked amazing posing by herself and with her fiancé. Then she changed into the blue dress and she was soo pretty in that color. Both dresses really made a statement for her photos and she rocked her session.
