The Knapp Family, Hudson Valley Family Photographer…

April 12, 2011 – 9:13 pm

 

Meet the Knapp Family.  You might recognize the name from previous posts on my blog.  Momma Knapp is the creator of the famous Knapp Sack.  I spent a sunny Saturday morning with her and her family at a beautiful historic site in Columbia County.  It is a location I have been eying but haven’t been to until now.  I kept my eyes wide open while driving and I am already geeked up to go back to that neck of the woods and photograph some fresh new grounds.  We had a blast with the kiddies touring the grounds and dancing to the Gummy Bear Song.  Thank you Momma Knapp for the wonderful suggestion and thank you Knapp family for so much fun!

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!

Spring Is Here, Hudson Valley Child Photographer…

April 4, 2011 – 8:53 pm

 

Mother Nature welcomed the first day of April with some snow.  I am sure you are all over snow just as much as I am, so a sunny Saturday was welcomed with open arms.  This was my first shoot of the “Spring” season and this little guy was just awesome.  We did his 2nd birthday photos last year, and how he has changed in a year.  Last year I was lucky to catch a smirk, this year he was all smiles and even did a little mini GQ action for me.  I am still slightly sad that his long hair is gone, but he is still an adorable little dude.

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

Family Farm, Hudson Valley Family Photographer…

February 24, 2011 – 10:31 pm

I think I need to change my title to “Official Farm Photographer of the Hudson Valley.”  I have shot on several farms over the past couple of months and I am so not complaining, in fact I want more!  This day, like many others started of chilly, but it was completely doable to pull off an outdoor family shoot.  I spent about 20 minutes getting a tour of the farm while scouting out shooting locations.  One of our biggest issues was the depth of the snow in some of the more desirable shooting locations. I kind of dragged them out to some spots anyway ;)   After scouting out the locations and heading back to grab the family, the snow started coming down and it was coming down good.   We kept the babies safe and warm in the car until the scene was ready and then we brought them in. Figures as soon as the shoot was over, the snow stopped.

When moving into the barn where some of the cattle is kept, I got the joy of seeing several new baby calves, only 24 hours old.  Some nursing right from there mommas.  It was an amazing scene.  In the barn I captured what may be one of my favorite images, the boy with his baby calf.  The calf was only a day old, momma cow looked on as we got some newborn pics, LOL!

It was a nice to spend the morning with this family.  I envy the not only their immediate family relationships, but their brother sister bonds as well.

Mr. Clinton, Hudson Valley Baby Photographer…

February 21, 2011 – 4:43 pm

It has been a while since I have blogged about my family, so I thought I would give you an update on baby Clinton. He is now 6 months old and growing like a little weed.  He is happy and as cute as can be, although he could sleep a little longer during the night {wink wink}.  He is a spitting image of his oldest brother Brayden but shows signs of Kieran every now and then, obviously not the hair.  I took advantage of a happy baby afternoon and spent some time with him and did a mini baby shoot.  Yes, he is a cloth diaper boy :)
