Military Momma, West Point Maternity Photographer…

August 12, 2011 – 1:39 pm

 

Recently I visited West Point to hang with a momma to be and her daughter for a big surprise for Daddy.  Right now, Daddy is overseas defending our country and his return is eagerly awaited back at home in the states. Momma is expecting baby girl number two and wanted to show off how great she looks and how fast “Cindy Lou Who” is growing.

There is nothing like an afternoon at West Point.  I have been there many of times, and I never get over the beauty of the grounds, the history, and the slightly intimidating presence of the military personnel there.  It’s like a small city all within the walls.  Being that the hospital is right on site, momma could walk there if she wanted.  Thanks again for  a lovely morning and I hope this was a great surprise for Daddy!

 

I love her sassy side

Tiny Tummy, Hudson Valley Materntiy Photographer…

July 20, 2011 – 8:04 pm

 

I recently got a phone call from this momma, who is 35 weeks pregnant,  to discuss doing her maternity and newborn photos.  We were cutting it close on time to the baby’s birth but luckily that weekend, I was going to be close to her neck of the woods.   So we were able to meet up after my morning session at one of my favorite coffee spots in Beacon and headed out for a little fun in the shade.  When I first saw this momma to be, the first thing that came to my mind was her size, what at tiny tummy for 35 weeks.  She has a little peanut growing in there.

So I am expecting a phone call any day now, but the way my luck has been running, she might be a week late :) All I know is looking at these two, the baby is going to be super cute and will hopefully have Mommy’s contagious smile.   See you two, or I should say three, soon!!

Sweetness Continues, Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer…

July 15, 2011 – 1:04 pm

 

My week of newborn boys continues with this ball of sweetness.  He came a tad late and since I was on vacation, I didn’t get to see him in the hosptial.  As soon as I returned I zipped right down in his house to have some playtime.  He is a super cute little peanut with a great head of hair and he was too easy to work with.

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, Hudson Valley Maternity Photographer…

June 23, 2011 – 11:23 am

 

You would think that we were in Seattle with the amount of rain we have had already this spring.  The day of this session, it was torrential downpours for hours.  Normally I am not one to jump on canceling sessions because the weather can change at any minute, but about 2 hours before we were suppose to start, I pulled the plug.  Lucky for me, Lori convinced me to come out and wouldn’t you know, the clouds parted and by 4pm, the skies were overcast with a touch of blue here and there.  Of course, I was very excited to finally meet her.  I have been emailing  back and forth and with Lori for some time now, and  every email she has me laughing harder and harder.

Soon I will be expecting a phone call that baby boy is on his way, can’t wait!!

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this photo

Long Awaited For, Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer…

June 9, 2011 – 1:48 pm

 

This is the final stop in our welcoming journey for this sweet baby girl.  Mommy and Daddy have been waiting so long for this moment and it is finally here.  Although she feels her mommy and daddy’s love, I hope one day she has a clear understanding of what they went through to have her and how much they love her.  I hope she appreciates how the  journey into this family realizes the importance of this story documented in pictures.

Baby Brother, Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer…

June 8, 2011 – 12:49 pm

 

Continuing my tour of newborns of the Hudson Valley, I meet up with this sweet baby boy who’s mommy had one of my favorite maternity sessions and  looked super fantastic after having a baby.  Still a tad bitter about that :)   Daddy had such a way with this little baby, I offered him a job on the spot!  It is always up in the air how the big sibling is going to react to having their picture taken with their baby, and big sister was all over it. She is so in love with her baby brother it is beyond too cute!
