Christmas Mini Sessions

This year I offered Christmas Mini Sessions for a full day and it was sold out within weeks. My clients receive early access to purchase their Christmas Mini Sessions slot times before I announce it to the general public. With the early access, you get to choose your ideal time slot.

This year’s Christmas Mini Session was based on a very homey backdrop where there were lots of dark walnut natural wood with colorful decorated Christmas Trees on each side. The center mantle was also decorated with colorful flora.

My clients were a mixed of repeat clients and new ones and everybody LOVED their pictures. I had fun seeing my previous clients and getting to know the new ones with their kids and family members.

Family Session at Snug Harbor

I love it when clients return to me for the photos, especially for their Family photos. She wanted to have both her immediate and extended family photographed at Snug Harbor in Staten Island. I love photographing there because it provides different scenes and looks to everybody’s pictures.

When we first met up, we walked to the pond and I photographed her entire family as a unit and then I photographed each individual family grouping separately and they had soo much fun, especially with their new addition Charlotte.

Then we walked to the nearest gardens located next to the Pond and took more family pictures in front of their summer flowers, where everybody held and snuggled baby Charlotte.

Afterwards we traveled to the Gazebo area and the pathway to the tropical flowers. After spending about more than an hour at Snug Harbor, we had a great time catching up and capturing everybody’s family photos.

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.
