Olivia, Hudson Valley Maternity Photographer…

 

Daddy-to-be gifted his lovely wife with my Welcoming Me Collection, a documentary on welcoming their baby into their family.  It’s such an honor to be apart of such a journey with a couple and for mommy, it’s such a wonderful gift to receive.  I had a lovely afternoon with these two and I’m looking forward to meeting baby Olivia soon.

Kelly and Jonathan’s Engagement Shoot, Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer…

 

A couple weeks ago I met up with Kelly and Jonathan for their engagement shoot at the Newburgh Brewing Company.  Umm, beer and photos = a good time.   I originally met Kelly when I did her boudoir photos, a little gift for her hubby to be.  We completely hit it off and when she started planning her wedding, I’m so honored I was on the top of her list of wedding photographers to hire.  I was thrilled to find out they are getting married at the Log Cabin in Massachusetts, that’s where I married my husband 10 years ago.   I think Kelly and I get along so well since we’re both loud and love to laugh.  I really can’t wait for their wedding day!

Thank you to the Newburgh Brewing Company for being an awesome host and letting us shoot there.  Hubby was happy I brought him home a goodie bag, aka growler.

 

Awkward, Hudson Valley Boudoir Photographer…

 

When this gorgeous young lady came to my studio for my most recent boudoir soiree, she told me she felt “awkward.”  Well, I want to be awkward because awkward is stunning!

Many of you may remember a couple months back when I posted about my friend Andrew and his lovely family.  They are very important people to me and I want to help with their mission to get people to donate blood. So I have teamed up with the NY Blood Center and we are hosting a blood drive in his honor.  It is our goal to get 50 pints of blood. Please check back for more details!

 

 

Sweet Baby Girl, Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer…

 

Just a sneak peek of the sweet baby girl whom I had the joy of photographing yesterday in the studio…

The British Are Coming, Hudson Valley Children Photographer..

 

It has been a couple years since I last had a visit with this family and since then they have added on.  Their newest daughter is a spitting image of her sister at the same age.  It was a tad chilly this day so we had to keep it indoors which was fine with me.  Big windows, gorgeous light and a claw foot tub I have been dreaming about for years, its all good.  As you can guess, this family is originally from Britain but have made their roots in NY.  Thank you again for spending the afternoon with me.
