Today I met up with Joshua for his very first photo shoot. I would like to refer to this little guy as "Mr. Personality" because when I showed up, he briefly woke up from a nap, and gave me about 10 different amazing facial expressions before peacefully falling back in to a slumber. I totally fell in love with him instantly, and I'm sure you all will too when you see the pictures I chose to display on the blog. Enjoy!
Today I had the opportunity to photograph a super creative and fun couple for maternity photos. They are both musicians and were looking for something unique and different for their portraits, so we chose the Van Vleck gardens for the shoot. I figured, with all this rain we've been getting...the flowers must be blooming and the grass has got to be bright green. We were not disappointed at all by the grounds, and we lucked out because for the duration of our shoot, the sun was shining and the light was spectacular. As a result, I'm excited with our results. Here's a little preview, enjoy!
The other day I met up with Jemma for her first photo shoot. She's only a few weeks old and has the most beautiful big blue eyes (just like her mom). Not only was it fun to meet Jemma, but I also got to visit with her older brother and sister (twins!), whom I have been photographing since they were newborns. Its really something special to watch my client's families expand and grow, and an honor to be the one photographing these special milestones. Enjoy the preview!
The second half of yesterday was spent with Sarah and Jon, shooting their engagement portraits. These guys are such a cute couple, a perfect balance to each other. The shoot took place in Larchmont, NY at a park that Sarah spent her childhood playing in. It was a place she always dreamed she would one day take her wedding (or engagement) pictures at, and since it had such important meaning... it truly was a magical affair. The day was picture perfect and we were able to get lots of awesome shots. I am so excited for their August wedding at the New York Botanical Gardens....stay tuned for their wedding pictures!
Yesterday I headed to Westchester for a shoot with a very beautiful family. I had met Giuliana, Isabella and Danny back in December for their holiday portraits and at the time their mom was pregnant with Nicholas. She called me a few weeks ago to let me know the baby had been born and she wanted to set up a newborn shoot with Nicholas and his siblings. We decided to keep it simple and soft with whites and bare skin against on a soft cozy bed...the safest option for younger brothers and sister handling an 8 week old baby brother! Here are some of the pictures taken from our time together, enjoy the prettiness...
This afternoon I headed over to my good friends house to photograph their new baby girl, Lexie. I was so excited to take her pictures and to meet her. She just turned 6 weeks old and is super cute. I had a great time taking her pictures and hanging with her parents. Here's a little sneak in to our shoot.....
Yesterday afternoon I photographed Ryan and his little sister, Bella for the first time. I had so much fun meeting them and working with them. I really felt like it was Spring since so many flowers were in bloom and the grass was extra green after all the snow and rain we've been having. Between the cute kids and the pretty surroundings, I am loving these shots!
Yesterday I headed down to Hamilton, NJ to visit good friends + to photograph their beautiful twin boys. Its crazy to think that it was over 2 years ago, we were doing their newborn portraits. The park we took pictures at yesterday was super pretty, I was shocked at how many flowers were in bloom (definitely more than up here in Hudson County!). Here are some shots from our time together....
A few months back I met up with this pretty little lady for a Valentine's day boudoir shoot. She wanted to surprise her man with some sexy pictures ( we definitely achieved the goal), and I figured I would share some of the pictures with you. Think of it as incentive for the summer bikini season!
Today I headed in to Manhattan for a newborn shoot with Julien. He was such a a good boy the entire time! When I showed up he was chilling out on the couch in a simple white cloth diaper (loved it!). The moment I took my camera out, he was totally alert - looking in to the camera lens & working it for his big debut. I hope you enjoy the images I selected for the blog, it was super hard to choose.
This afternoon I headed to Hoboken for a photo shoot with Gabriella- a 2 week old beauty. It seems like just yesterday I was photographing her parents for their maternity shoot. Gabriella did wonderful & we have lots of great shots to chose from. Enjoy the preview...
Can you even stand the lips on this little girl?!
Today I headed to Hoboken for a photo shoot with Christian- who is only a few weeks old. He was such a rock star, letting us change him so many times without making a peep! Since he was so fabulous to work with, we were able to get lots of different looks. I like to refer to the above image as "a boys best friend" - can you stand the dog posing it up like a little doggie model?!? Love it.
One of the things I want to start doing this year is showing you images of the photo products my clients choose to display in their actual homes. Yesterday I reached out to one of my clients (who has beautifully displayed photos we've taken over the years), asking if she would snap a few photos for me. She did an awesome job, and I am lucky enough to show you them here today on my blog. In this feature you will see fine art canvas prints along with framed prints. The canvas prints shown in these pictures range from 8x10 to 11x14. As you can see, such canvas sizes are not overwhelming-and work well both on the wall, or displayed on a table top. Enjoy the inspiration!
Today I headed to Battery Park in Manhattan for a shoot with this happy and adorable baby boy. He was all smiles for the entire shoot, which is so rare! Since he was in such a great mood, we were able to do lots of looks + go outside for a 5 minute outdoor session. Enjoy the sneak peak!
Its always a fun day when I have a boudoir shoot scheduled, and today was one of those days. Here's a glimpse of 2 of the 5 looks we did from today's session, enjoy the prettiness!!
I had to share my latest album before I ship it off to my client...it's handmade by a book binding company based out of los angeles called Cypress Albums. In my opinion, their products are the most beautiful, unique + artistic out there. However, since they are made by hand-they are also the most expensive...but its sooo worth it in the end. Every client that has opted to have a Cypress album made has been beyond thrilled with their decision once they get their hands on the albums (and I am always sad to let them go since they're so pretty!).
The Cypress album shown is also available for regular portrait sessions. You can create an album from any portrait session we've done together. If you prefer, we can make it a collaborative piece with portraits we've done throughout the year, or years. If you are interested in prices, please send an email.
Yesterday I headed to Chatham for a large family portrait involving babies, toddlers, little children + their parents and grandparents. As you can imagine there was lots of chaos, laughter, melt downs and more...yet we still managed to get some great portraits. It was a very fun experience to be a part of and to document, here are some of the "calmer" moments.....
Today we headed north to hang with some good friends and their 2 beautiful kids. I brought my camera "just in case"....but who am I kidding, I can't resist taking their picture! So we headed outside to enjoy the beautiful day, and I snapped away. Here are some shots from our time together...
Today I met up with Mason and his family for his 1 year shoot. The day was perfect, not too cold and not too sunny. We were able to get lots of happy, natural smiles and I'm loving everything I've looked at from our time together.
I can't believe that it was this time last year he was just born and we were scheduling his newborn shoot. Happy birthday!!
