Maternity Session at Snug Harbor

I always love to photograph at Snug Harbor, especially in the fall time because the area has beautiful grounds. When Sabrina scheduled her maternity session, she was excited to be photographed at Snug Harbor in Staten Island, NY. She chose to be photographed in a black slim maternity dress with lace on top that I have in my closet. Her second choice for her dress was a modern beige calf length dress with black boots and a black hat that she brought in. I love the looks that she chose on her.

I first photographed Sabrina and her husband at the garden grounds and at the Arch using the black lace maternity gown that she chose. She looked really elegant and gorgeous. I also photographed her at the another flower garden adjacent to the Arch and the Gazebo. Then she changed into her modern maternity dress and we walked towards the bigger houses with pillars. I loved how the images came out and the look of her maternity photo shoot.

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.

Uma's Maternity Session

I’m very honored that my clients travel from Bayonne, NJ to Staten Island for their maternity session. Uma and her husband traveled from Bayonne NJ to capture their maternity session. Their session took place at Snug Harbor Cultural Center in Staten Island and it was such a beautiful session.

For my maternity clients, I offer my expecting mama’s to wear a dress from my client closet to wear during their session. Uma already had a Rose Gold chiffon and sequin dress that she wore for her session. So she chose to wear a Steel Blue maternity gown from my client closet.

At Snug Harbor, we started the session with Uma wearing her Rose Gold gown and it was GORGEOUS!! She was soo elegant and glowing. I photographed her at various locations at Snug Harbor. I enjoyed capturing their love for each other and the excitement that they’re felt while their little one was soon to be arriving.

After about an hour or more capturing them in different locations at Snug Harbor, she changed into the Blue maternity gown to be photographed in front of Connie Gretz’s garden. She loved that the gown had a different feel compared to her Rose Gold gown - she was able to play into the poses while feeling like a Diva. Both her and husband had a great time with this part of the session.

I’m very grateful that Uma hired me to capture her Maternity session - it was great to get to know them and we all had soo much fun while enjoying the different sceneries at Snug Harbor.

Nicole's Maternity Photo Shoot

Late in the fall season, I had the honor to photograph Nicole’s maternity session at Clove Lakes Park in Staten Island, NY. From my client closet of maternity dresses, she chose two dresses to wear for her session and she looked absolutely amazing. The first dress is the Merlot Athena Chicaboo maternity gown which looked great on her. She also loved the fact that you can hike up the seam for a different look. The second dress is the Dusty Pink Athena dress, also from Chicaboo. She looked radiant and I’m happy that I had the opportunity to photograph her journey.

Mayra's Maternity Session

I am honored to have photographed Mayra’s Maternity session at Snug Harbor. She wore a gorgeous maroon dress for the first half of her session and she was beautiful in it. Then she changed into a Chicaboo pink dress, which totally changed the feel of the session. She was graceful and was radiant in it.

Please enjoy the images from her session.

*Pink Chicaboo dress is available for my clients to wear for their sessions*

Allie's Maternity Shoot

Earlier this month, I had the amazing opportunity to photograph Allie for her Maternity Session at Snug Harbor, Staten Island. She wore a beautiful purple lace dress and she had a pretty floral crown. Her husband joined her for their photo shoot and I loved how I was able to capture their love for each other.

I was also excited to be able to photograph her four dogs with her and her husband for their Maternity Shoot. They were soo well behaved and did wonderfully!

I’m truly honored to be able to capture Allie’s story and I can’t wait to meet their little one for their Newborn Shoot in a couple of weeks.
