My most recent Newborn Session

When my client emailed me to photograph her Maternity Session, I was disappointed since I was booked and unavailable for her session (good thing for a business person, but still disappointed for me personally). However she wanted to book her newborn session with me and I was really excited.

Mom had her baby a week past her expected date and we coordinated a date to photograph her family for their newborn photo shoot.

For the Family photos, they came dressed really nicely (mom was in a beautiful sequin grey dress, oldest was dressed in a white top and warm plaid A line skirt and Dad was dressed in a nice button down shirt with slacks. All of their family pictures came out beautifully and I had a great time photographing my client’s daughter for the sibling pictures.

After Family photos, I concentrated on photographing their newborn baby boy. Mom requested the colors of burnt orange, blues and warm neutrals. I was very excited when she requested burnt orange/rust because I usually get requests for warm neutrals or blue/pink colors. And then mom came in with a warm tweed suspender newborn outfit and it worked perfectly with my rust blanket that I had planned to use for her son’s blanket poses.

After I photographed her son on the blanket, I photographed him in a round bowl and a moon bowl.

Charlotte's Cake Smash

I am really fortunate when my clients return to me to capture their photo shoots. I’ve been photographing Charlotte’s family since her mom was expecting with Charlotte and wanted a Maternity Session. Now a year has passed and Charlotte is now 1 years old. So I was soo excited when her mom requested an Alice in Wonderland themed cake smash. Alice in wonderland is such a classic story that can be seen from all ages (kids and adults) that will never be dated.

When Charlotte’s mom requsted that theme, I provided a few Alice in Wonderland backdrops for her to choose from and she picked one that is taking place outside with a pink chair and table. Once she chose her backdrop, all i needed to do for the cake smash was to print out a couple of Alice in Wonderland cut outs and I also placed a few playing deck cards to match the theme. For Charlotte’s first birthday pictures, Charlotte’s mom wanted to use a Unicorn rainbow themed drop that I previously used for those pictures.

On the day of the cake smash, Charlotte’s mom dressed Charlotte in a beautiful off white/cream lace dress and it was gorgeous. She was photographed alone and with a few of her Unicorn stuffies, which are the sie of Charlotte!!

Then we got a few pictures of Charlotte dressed as the Queen of Hearts and then she dressed up as Alice for her smash. When she was next to her cake, all she wanted to do was play with the frosting. She started to get into the cake and started to eat it. After a few minutes, she fell asleep on top of the cake and that was that.

Overall she had a great time being photographed alone and with her stuffies and played with some cake. Her parents are thrilled with their pictures and I am always happy with work with them.

Twin Newborn Sessions

I was soo excited when Ava’s and Adam’s mom reserved her twin’s newborn session with me in Staten Island. The colors that she chose were neutrals which were perfect with what I had.

On the day of their photo shoot, we started first on props. I utilized my flokati rug, heart bowl, cradle bed and twin bowl. They were photographed by themselves and together. When they were posed together, that is all that they wanted in life - to be together.

Then I photographed the family poses and ended with blanket pose of the twins.

Amelia's Newborn Session

At the end of July, I had the opportunity to photograph Amelia for her newborn session. She was one month old when she came in. The colors that her family chose were warm neutrals and a pink lace romper.

I first photographed the family as a unit and then I photographed each family member with Amelia. She was swaddled in white to give that classic neutral look and to compliment the family’s clothing.

After photographing the family, I prepped Amelia in different colored swaddles to compliment all the different props that she was photographed in, including the heart bowl, a round bowl and photographed on a flokati rug.

When it came time for the blanket poses, Amelia wore a dusty pink/mauve lace outfit against a cream neutral blanket. Within the three hour photo shoot, it was a beautiful session and I’m happy that I was to photograph their session.

Grace's First Birthday

I was soo excited to be asked to photograph Grace’s First Birthday at the Historic Richmond Town in Staten Island, NY. After scouting the different historic houses online, her mother and I decided to use the Christopher House as our backdrop for her session. The house is similar to an English Cottage house, with beige and earthy tones to compliment Grace’s outfit.

We first took portraits of her one outfit and then she was photographed in another outfit, posing with an beautiful elaborate cake.

I am truly honored to be part of her celebration. Please enjoy the images from her session.

Ethan's first photo shoot

A month ago, I was very excited to photograph Ethan for his milestone session. Ethan is such a sweet baby, he was very awake and so photogenic for his shoot, especially with his Santa Hat. While photographing Ethan, I was able to get to know my clients, who traveled from Brooklyn, NY for their baby’s session. It was great meeting everybody and I am looking forward with working with them in the future.
