And Then Comes Boy…

May 24, 2010 – 3:17 pm

The first time I  photographed this  family was a couple years ago when the youngest daughter was just a baby.  Finally after 3 girls, this family has welcomed a  little boy, proudly named after his daddy.  I was originally suppose to photograph his birth, but he came 3 weeks early and I was out of town. I was so sad to miss his birth, however I got to meet him on his 7 day birthday.   His mommy’s friend knit him the sweet little cocoon that he wore, and I have to say, I want a couple for myself. (HINT HINT) I have seen a ton on ETSY, but nothing compared to the thickness of this one.  Baby obviously loved it too, he slept like a champ while bundled up in it. However,  the moment I took him out, it didn’t matter how many heaters I had on, he wanted back in.

His big sisters were very patient in waiting for me to take baby’s pictures until it was their turn.  How sweet they all were in their pretty blue and yellow dresses.

Giving Is Awesome, Family 2…

May 23, 2010 – 8:03 pm

Thaddeus has to be one of the strongest little boys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.  Last Christmas he was nominated as one of my “Giving is Awesome” recipients and after reading his story, I knew I had to meet him.  Since he was an infant, Thaddeus has suffered from seizures and has been in and out of the hospital for too much time of his 18 months of his life.  I have to admit, I showed my mommy weakness during our shoot when I broke down in tears.  I just couldn’t hold them back.  This little guy has been through so much and he has more strength than most adults I know.

This little boy has truly touched my life and I feel like a better person having met him.

Baby Girl #3…

May 14, 2010 – 1:41 pm

A couple weeks back I met with this beautiful momma and her girls for a maternity shoot at their home.  A month later, we now have a new star of the show, baby girl #3.  I got a glimpse of what life with 3 kids is going to be like when we welcome our 3rd boy this summer, complete love an joy with a dose of  craziness.   Of course, it is all worth it.  One of my favorite parts of doing a newborn shoot, is getting my hands on these tiny little babies.  It is very time consuming but I love every minute I get to hold one of these sweet and tiny little babies only days old.

Mother’s Day Minis…

May 10, 2010 – 3:28 pm

I hope all the moms out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day!  2 weeks ago I had the pleasure of treating some moms to a special present with mini sessions at Vassar College. Some were a surprise, some were not, either way, Mom won!  This was the first time I have offered mini sessions and being that it sold out in just 2-3 days, it was a great success.  The sessions ran super smooth and the kiddies were just great. I saw some familiar faces, and got to meet some new ones as well.  I even had some visitors from Connecticut.  It was an overall great afternoon and I look forward to doing it again next year!

A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock n Roll…

May 5, 2010 – 10:01 am

Recently I met up with this cool little man who is basically a clone of my son Kieran in almost every way.  Beautiful long bland hair, blue eyes, very curious,  full energy and a love for cookies.   We did a urban photoshoot at one of my favorite locations, followed by some shots at a local campus for a more country like setting.  I have to say, he held up pretty well considering the day before he partied like a mini rock star in celebration of his 2nd birthday and during the shoot when the sun came out, it got hot.

A lot of people ask me what I do to blue eyes to make them look so blue.  Honestly,  really nothing.  When you catch that light off right those beautiful blues, the work is done for me.
