Twin Newborn Sessions

I was soo excited when Ava’s and Adam’s mom reserved her twin’s newborn session with me in Staten Island. The colors that she chose were neutrals which were perfect with what I had.

On the day of their photo shoot, we started first on props. I utilized my flokati rug, heart bowl, cradle bed and twin bowl. They were photographed by themselves and together. When they were posed together, that is all that they wanted in life - to be together.

Then I photographed the family poses and ended with blanket pose of the twins.

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.

Kenzo's Newborn Photo Shoot

In September I had the opportunity to photograph Kenzo and his beautiful mama for their newborn photo session. The color scheme that was Sage Green and Neutrals.

I first photographed their family part, with Mama posing with her son and holding him. She looked radiant!

Then it was time for photograph Kenzo in various props, pairing green with warm neutrals. And then I moved onto the posing him for the blanket poses such as lying on his side and being wrapped.

I’m soo happy that I was able to photograph and document this special moment for them.

Wrapped Mini Newborn Session

I love photographing wrapped/swaddled mini sessions because it keeps the baby calm and comforted during their session while providing beautiful images for the family. I was excited when Bonianne hired me to photograph her son’s session. The colors that she picked out for him were pale blue and sage green.

I first photographed her son in a few props, including the heart bowl and the bed and I was able to get a few smiles from him while he was in a REM sleep. He slept beautifully and I was able to capture a few macro shots of his eyelashes and lips.

Then I photographed him on a Sage Green blanket using a wrap and varying the style of the wrap. Since he slept so well, I didnt a sense of the time and went past their scheduled session time.

Amelia's Newborn Session

At the end of July, I had the opportunity to photograph Amelia for her newborn session. She was one month old when she came in. The colors that her family chose were warm neutrals and a pink lace romper.

I first photographed the family as a unit and then I photographed each family member with Amelia. She was swaddled in white to give that classic neutral look and to compliment the family’s clothing.

After photographing the family, I prepped Amelia in different colored swaddles to compliment all the different props that she was photographed in, including the heart bowl, a round bowl and photographed on a flokati rug.

When it came time for the blanket poses, Amelia wore a dusty pink/mauve lace outfit against a cream neutral blanket. Within the three hour photo shoot, it was a beautiful session and I’m happy that I was to photograph their session.

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.
