Mr. New Jersey…

Yes, I am not on top of my blog game like I normally am.  I have a great excuse, boys, boys, a side of more boys, topped of with  October,  my busiest month of the year.  With 3 kids wanting my attention, my limited time is getting stretched even more thin, forcing late nights for editing, album design and blog posts.  If you follow me on Facebook, you will probably see all my Starbucks references.  Caffeine has become my BFF due to lack of sleep.  And understand, I am so not complaining. I am feel so lucky to have  a great crew of little dudes and a wonderful group of clients who remind me, I have the best 2 jobs in the world, mom and photographer. Sleep will come, in January.

Last weekend this family invited me out to their family home out in the Gunks to photograph his Little “T’s” newborn photos.  They live full time in NJ, but escape the real world in the mountains of the Hudson Valley.   Driving out to their home, you drive see some of the best views and now  that fall is here, you see some of  the best colors.  The yellow of the trees outside their home was just gorgeous, just making the images glow. Little man was a breeze and barely made a peep the whole time I was there.  He stayed nice and bundled up in his Knapp Sack and even though I get to hold my own baby everyday,  I still can’t get enough of holding another.

Mr. Peanut…

You might recognize this new mommy from her maternity shoot last week, Field Of Dreams.  Like the movie, “If you build it, he will come,” well, we shot it and he came.   Just a day after we met, I got an email and it looked as though baby boy decided it was time to make his way to this world, a couple weeks early.  It seems like if you need to induce labor, book your maternity session with Surprise Photography!   I normally wouldn’t bring my children on a shoot, but being that Clinton himself is only a couple weeks old and this shoot was down in southern New York, I brought him along as my assistant.  Thank goddness for a great little carrier, I had Clinton  strapped to my chest and he was passed out the whole time.  Babies first playdate.

Thank you again for having me come photograph you sweet little peanut.  Hospital shoots are my favorite and it is such an honor to be included in such a special moment.  See you all soon!

Miss New Jersey…

Yesterday Mother Nature once again heard my pleas, and held out on the rain.  So far this year she has been good to me, knock on wood, and I really needed it Saturday since this sweet family came up from New Jersey to hang with me for the morning.   Little Miss “E” was just super cute and daddy did a great job dancing and while mommy and I sang a chorus of Music Together songs.  All together we kept this sweet little one was well entertained.  Not like she really needed it, she was so good that our shoot was over in no time!

It was wonderful to meet this family and I am so flattered that they came to NY to see me. I hope they enjoyed the rest of their visit here and I will see you all in a few weeks!
