Baby “J” At Home, Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer…
November 15, 2011 – 9:29 pm
Just days after meeting baby “J” at the hospital, I got the privilege of coming to his home and shooting his newborn pictures. I am a fan of older homes with character, heck I bought one, but this one had killer hardwoods and a gorgeous wooden staircase, so for me to shoot here was a big SCORE! He was bright eyed most of our visit but after some work of being super cute, we finally got him to rest his eyes. It must be the bucket.
Welcome Baby “J,” Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer

YES, I am still here and finally back on the blog. I will admit, I was worried I wouldn’t remembered my blog login, it has been that long. I have had a wonderful and overwhelming holiday season. We were shooting almost 4-5 days a week, I am normally shooing 2, so we are now catching up!
This October I had the joy of meeting this little guy. He is a sweet little treasure and the son of a former bride and groom. Can I say how lucky I feel that they continued their journey of growing their family with me. I had just gotten home from a shoot at Vassar hospital and got the phone call, “He is here!!!” I’m like, I was just there. What a baby week!
Baby J, I look forward to watching you grow!



Calm Before The Storm, Hudson Valley Maternity Photographer…

Two nights before the big storm hit, I got to enjoy a wonderful evening with this family to be. We hit up the CIA but there were no cupcakes or Anthony Bourdain in sight. Apparently we missed the closing of the cafe by like 2o minutes. Like seriously, don’t mess with a pregnant lady or photographer who are hungry. I did send this couple to check out one of my favorite places in the Hudson Valley, who ended up hooking me up with some great food for my son’s 1st birthday party, Soul Dog.
Looking forward to meeting baby soon!!!

Yes, my first post wedding baby!!! When I photographed this couples wedding, I was 8 months pregnant with Clinton. Now here we are, and rolls are reversed. And anyone who knows this couple, knows they will ROCK parenthood and I am sure baby will be a really cute one. We will see very soon! And thank you to Scott and Margaret for entertaining me by trekking out to this tree I just had to shoot in front of.
Baby “N,” Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer…

This is the last shoot in our series of 3, with with baby “N,” and our journey of documenting his welcoming into this world. I truly hope this is not the last of our visits since he is just the sweetest little thing, plus I can’t get enough of his mommy. Our emails going back and forth had e me laughing so hard, I had stitches in my side.
So for now, this is not goodbye little baby “N,” it is see you soon!
