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).

Dee's Maternity Session

Dee wanted a maternity session to capture herself and to capture her with her entire family. We scheduled the session in November at Clove Lakes Park, which is located in Staten Island, NY.

The dress that she chose to wear was a light pink, long sleeve maternity gown that had a sweetheart neckline. She looked gorgeous posing on the pathway and on the bridges. She also posed with her beautiful family on the stone bridge.

Noah's First Birthday!!

Noah turned 1 in December and I was honored to be able to capture his first birthday portraits and cake smash!

Noah’s mom booked her son’s session in October, wanting a specific theme with also booking a family session as well as a bath splash for Noah. When his mom communicated that she wanted a moon/stars theme, I looked through the backdrop companies and presented several various backdrops for her to choose. After she looked through all of the backdrops, she chose a backdrop with a crescent silver moon with galaxies and stars across the entire backdrop.

On the day of the session, I first photographed their family session using a classic neutral beige backdrop that goes with all clothing colors. Then I was able to photograph Noah’s first birthday portraits using that same backdrop, of him sitting on the floor and on a wooden white bed.

Next was his cake smash and mom provided a beautiful tall grey/blue/white buttercream cake. At first he was curious and ate a bit here and there but he was soo excited to walk across the set to be with his mom.

Lastly was time for his bath splash. Noah LOVED it!! Noah’s mom brought in his rubber ducky and he loved to splash and just loved his bath.

Noah's Newborn Photo Shoot

Noah had his newborn session scheduled at around 1 months old and he did amazingly. I chose alot of neutral colors (warm tans and medium blues) to stylize his photo shoot. Even though those colors are pretty basic, they compliment every skin tone and can be paired with any type of prop.

I first photographed Noah’s mom and grandmother and they were ESTATIC! You can see it on their parent poses. When his mother said that he smiles for every picture, I didn’t realize that he actually smiles the whole time. It was beautiful.

Then I photographed Noah in props and he looked soo angelic. I love using bonnets and wraps because they keep the babies content while maintaining that classic look to their images.

After props, I photographed Noah for his blanket pose and even though he was slightly awake, the eye contact and his smiles were soo precious.

Even though newborn sessions are traditionally photographed between when babies are between 5-14 days old, photographing babies when they’ve gotten at 1 months old is such an amazing experience and love the types of pictures that I can capture at that age.

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.

Family Reunion for July 4th

I love it my clients return to me to photograph their families - I get to see their family members and it’s such a welcoming environment. Mariella wanted me to capture her extended family that were visiting from Florida for the July 4th holiday that couldn’t make it this past Christmas due to the pandemic.

I traveled to her home in Staten Island NY and Mariella first wanted pictures taken of her and her family out in their deck. They all wore red, white and blue to commemorate the July 4th holiday. Then everybody moved inside and I set up for their living room photos in front of their fireplace. I photographed all family members and then Mariella’s immediate family and the immediate family of her extended family. I love photographing everybody because they all have a great time with each other and especially it’s a great way to reflect on how small the young family members were at that time.
