Beacon Maternity, Hudson Valley Maternity Photographer…

April 28, 2011 – 2:48 pm

 

Last week I got to meet with this beautiful family who is expecting their 2nd baby in the next couple of weeks.  Daddy had contacted me about a surprise gift for his wife, so they can document the welcoming of their son into their family.  When I showed up the shoot, I looked at mommy and thought, hey I know you.  We happened to be at the same party a couple weeks ago, talking about her sweet baby bump then too.  Small world.

The day was gorgeous and they brought me to a great new shooting location.  I love when older siblings come to shoots, it is like having a built in shooting assistant.  Keep tuned in, baby boy will be here very soon!

Mother’s Day Mini Sessions Sneak Peek, Hudson Valley Children’s Photographer

April 19, 2011 – 7:30 am

 

Since the creation of Facebook’s Fan Page, the sneak peek has been always been posted there on our home page.  The upload and sharing process became much easier to share a couple images before the full blog post was published.  Well, over the past couple days FB hasn’t been my friend and won’t allow me to upload photos.  So we had to do what happens when technology fails us, we go back to doing things the old fashion way, blog first :)    This past weekend we had the weather toying with us but our 2nd annual Mother’s Day mini sessions were a success.  Everything ran  completely smooth and on time.   The kids had a blast and the mommy’s were treated to a wonderful gift, fresh from our Groovy Baker friend, who I have to note was just featured in the recent issue of Hudson Valley Magazine.  I have to mention, I do find it funny although this is a gift for mommy and would be a nice surprise from the daddy’s, all the mommys booked the sessions.  Do we not trust our significant other to get it right?? LOL!

No Fear, Hudson Valley Maternity Photographer

April 11, 2011 – 1:53 pm

 

We all have some kind of  fears or phobias in our life.  Mine, any spider, even the itty bitty ones and the dentist.  What is daddy to be’s fear you ask?  Me, the 5 foot 2 chick with the camera. I have a camera, he has a drill.  Ok, only joking. In the end, we agreed that  there should be no fear but we do disagree on our baseball teams (Go SOX).

Anyway, this great couple is weeks away from inviting their first son into the world. I know what you are thinking, where is the belly????   There were many of times I had to tell her to stick that baby out.  She does pregnancy so well and looks great doing it too.  Kind of makes me want to give it one last run……nahhhh.  Three is enough.

Thank you again for a wonderful Sunday afternoon.  I hope you both can make it up to Rhinebeck again for the full tour.  I will see you guys soon during your overnight stay at VBMC :)

Love The Name, Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer

April 7, 2011 – 10:23 pm

 

Why do I say that, because this little sweetie pie shares the same name as one of my precious little, crazy boys.  You might recognize this family, they have been on my blog many of times.   I have been so lucky to watch them grow before my very eyes. This past weekend I got the pleasure of photographing sweet 5 day old baby brother as well as having some fun play time with big bro, who is spitting image of daddy as well as big sister, mommy’s mini me.  As always, such a pleasure to work with this family!

Boudoir, Hudson Valley Boudoir Photographer…

March 30, 2011 – 8:18 pm

 

A couple of years ago, I did a meet up with bunch of photog friends from across the country, at  Kristen Kalps studio  in Philadelphia, PA.  There I got my first peek at Kylene Cleaver working her boudoir magic.  Over the past 2 years I watched her, through the wonderful world of the internet,  expand and grow to be one of the best boudoir photographers I have ever seen.  Her stuff is is classy, tasteful and just simply beautiful.  On a recent blog post she mentioned she was now offering “Mentoring.”  Ummmm, all over that!!  I am the type of person, if I am going to learn, I am going to learn from the best and that she is.

So this past weekend I hoped in the car and took a one day trip to Philly. Lucky for me, I had a mentoring session to me, myself and I.  We had some beautiful and brave models, who dealt with some frigid weather conditions. The black winged angel was a true trooper, being outside in her undies, in 35 degree weather and a wind chill that made it feel like 10.  Art is painful sometimes.

I am so excited to be offering boudoir as apart of the Surprise Photography experience.   More details to come!

Baby Buns, Hudson Valley Child Photographer…

March 6, 2011 – 10:32 pm

 

This session was so worth the wait.  We were originally suppose to meet in October of last year but had to reschedule due to a family obligation.  Our next two dates were also postponed due to life and sickness.  Finally, we got to spend a nice Sunday morning together.  And who said clothes make the shoot, this little sweetie spent a lot of time in just baby legs and her birthday suit.  I have to say thank you to the family for treating me like gold while I was there. Not only did they greet me with coffee, but they also invited my family to the Grand Opening party of their new restaurant.  Swing by Giacomo’s new location down in Wappingers, right next door to one of my favorite coffee places, Bad Ass.

 

This is probably one of my favorite Father/Daughter moments ever
