Newborn Baby Boy

I had another newborn baby boy in my studio and I was exctied to photograph their family and his newborn photos.

Mom wanted her session to have warm neutrals, green and blues incorported into her session and I was excited to use all of those colors together. For their family session, I used a creamy pecan backdrop, which is perfect to coordinate with any color. I photographed her immediate family first and then the mom and dad with their newborn baby boy, parents individually and lastly, their 2 year old sister with her baby brother.

Then I moved on to photograph her newborn son to pose on the blanket. The blanket was cream and he wore a sage romper with pockets. He was able to stay asleep for the majority of his poses and he was photographed beautifully.

After photographing him on the blanket, I photographed him in a round bowl and in a moon shaped bowl (those two props are the most requested for boys).

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.

Super Mario Cake Smash

A few weeks ago, I was contacted to do a themed Cake Smash for a boy turning 1 in May. We went over the various themes and when I mentioned to his mom that I just received a Super Marios Backdrop, she said “Yes lets do that!” I was also honored that she came from Brooklyn, NY to celebrate him turning 1.

All themed cakes smashes comes with a portrait session for the baby to show his milestones (crawling, standing, sitting) and James’ portrait session was based on a urban feel, with black/gold Nike baby sneakers with James sitting next to a boom box.

Then the backdrops were changed for the Super Mario Bros Cake Smash and the cake was a powerup mushroom. He barely touched the cake but he had a ball playing with the Super Mario Cutouts from his session and just being on set.

All in all, everybody had a great time watching James enjoy his themed cake smash photo shoot

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.

Bradley's Newborn Session

I was soo excited when Bradley’s mom told me that she was expecting. I photographed their first baby in 2019 and was honored to be able to photograph Bradley a few years later.

Since they were expecting a boy this year, I was pretty amped up to use alot of blues and neutral colors.

I first photographed family pictures so that their oldest can run around after and the parents can relax. Their oldest did great and loved the fact that she brought her Blues Clues stuffie with her and be part of the pictures. I’m sure that when she gets older, she’ll look at these pictures and feel nostalgia for her stuffed toy.

i was also happy that I got to photograph Abby with her brother for their sibling photos. She was happy to be in the pictures and gave her baby brother some kisses.

After the family and sibling pictures were done, I got my props out so that I can photograph Bradley in them. I used my flokati rug, heart bowl, bed and regular round bowl with different types of backdrops. After about 2 hours of taking pictures, Bradley needed a feeding.

After Bradley was settled, I put Bradley in an cute little outfit and took pictures of him on the beanbag/blanket.

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.
