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.

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.

Christmas Mini Sessions 2022

I held my annual Christmas Mini Sessions for 2022 and it sold out again! This year Christmas backdrop was a high key theme, using alot of white, reds and greens and this allowed all of my clients and their kids to either dress up in nice clothing, dress down in jammies and even as the Grinch!!

I’m soo fortunate to see all of my clients who worked with me in the past and met new clients as well! I’m looking forward to next year’s theme (the theme is already picked out!).

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.

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.
