Santa Baby…

I had the pleasure of documenting the arrival of this Christmas baby, when I photographed mommy’s maternity photos as well as the baby at the hospital just hours after he was born.  One of my favorite shoots is newborns at the hospital, it is such a fresh and real look at the arrival of a baby.   We did this shoot the day before Christmas Eve, when he was just 2 weeks old.  He was bright eyed and happy the whole time I was there.   Thank you to Daddy who stayed up late making sure the tree was up for baby’s homecoming, I love how the tree lights glisten in the background.

Finally, we got him to sleep

The complete family!

One Proud Family…

Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude and appreciation for what we have, and those who are special to us.  It is a time in which most families, near and far, come together to celebrate a special feast.  This Thanksgiving, the “S” family came together to not only enjoy a dinner, but also to spoil a special little girl with lots of love.  She was certainly the center of attention and very much the apple of Grandma’s eyes.  I hope little Miss and her parents had a safe ride home to Maryland.

Big Blue Eyes and The Great Red Wall…

Continuing on my tour of Northern Dutchess County this weekend, I swung into Rhinebeck to meet up with Jessica and Josh Burckhard of Rhinebeck Chiropractic.  I first met this family earlier this year when I featured Jessica as one of my Momtrepreneurs of the Month.   This time they invited me up to photograph their family and of course highlight there adorable son.  This little guy has the most beautiful blue eyes.   I have to say, he was like an old pro working the camera, mommy must make him practice a lot ;)   He would be the perfect model for the Baby Gap ads.   On our walk around town,  we came upon this awesome red wall.  I love how the wind started to blow his hair as I snapped those beautiful blues.

This red wall was such a great accent for this shot. It is one of my family favorites.

Running In Red Hook…

This weekend I got to meet up with a fun  family up in the Red Hook area.  They brought me to a great new location with beautiful grounds and lots of running space.  There, the kiddies played a mean game of hide and go seek, jumped off rocks, and ran the hills.  Little man took a little time warming into me, but lucky for me we have something in common, DINOSAURS!  My 4 year old has taught me more about Dinosaurs, which came in handy today.  And little Miss was ultra stylish in her great little sweater and knit hat.  Does that sweater come in my size?

Farm and Charm…

Twice in one day I was lucky enough to shoot at a location that provided me with two of my favorite things, a cutie pie and lots of texture.? This little boy, and his dog, are lucky to have a lot of land to run around and be free with nature.? He also has a wonderful old farmhouse with lots of great character and charm, just like himself.

Beverly Hillbillies…

They said it, not me :) ? When driving to this shoot yesterday morning, I started thinking how cool it would be to move the family couch outside on to their beautiful farm.? I totally thrilled when Dad was completely into it and not only took the couch outside, but way out into the cow pasture.??? They, the cows, were watching us with close eyes, not too sure what was going on.?? I have to say, mom is a dear friend of mine and it is so wonderful to see her kids grow and watch her family expand.? It is also wonderful to see the development of their organic farm in Gardiner, Brookside Farm.
