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.
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!
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.
This little baby made my day an absolute dream. He was nice and sleepy for pretty much for 90% of our shoot and if he got a tad fussy, a little white noise soothed him. One of my favorite parts of doing newborns sessions, is seeing how a 8 pound baby can bring so much love and joy to a family. The love of a child is nothing you can really imagine until you become a parent. I see how this little guy already has his whole family wrapped around his finger, and it is a beautiful thing.
Wrapping up my 3rd trip to the maternity ward in 6 days, was this cute little monkey boy. When I walked into his room for my visit, the VIP party was in full swing. He was surrounded by family and lots of love. Again, mommy looked super fantastic for just having a baby and daddy was a lot more comfortable around the camera this time around. Maybe it was the ray of light in his hands that kept him relaxed.
See you all soon for your newborns!
