Seth’s First Christmas

12/24/2018

Everyone in my family is all abuzz, because it’s my nephew Seth’s First Christmas! Even though he’s only 5 months old and he has NO idea what’s going on, that hasn’t stopped anyone from buying him veritable mountains of presents.

The amount of Christmas outfits we’ve put him in this month is also staggering. If you saw his newborn photo blog posts (Part One, Part Two, and Part Three :D), you know it took me three days to be satisfied with the amount of photos I’d taken. The same thing happened with his Christmas photos! I did a bunch the first day, but the next day and the next day I was still sneaking him upstairs to the studio to do a couple more! I haven’t even taken all the Christmas photos I want to take of him, either! I’m planning on some really cute ones to take on Christmas Day when we open up his plethora of presents!

Here are Seth’s 1st Christmas Photos!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Abigail’s Christmas Session

12/20/2018

Abigail’s mom and I used to work together at my first job ever, Big Lots! We haven’t seen each other in a few years, so it was a lot of fun to catch up with her and meet her sweet little girl Abigail!

She’s one of the happiest babies I’ve seen in a long time! I didn’t have to break out any of my silly stuff to make her laugh. She had pretty much a permanent smile on her face from the time she got into the studio until it was time for her to leave! She made my job nice and easy!

She liked holding onto the props we had for her, and she was overjoyed to snuggle with her parents for some family shots! Here are some of my favorite photos from our session!

Addison’s Christmas Session 2018

12/19/2018

You’ve seen Addison on this blog a lot through the years, starting as a little newborn! She’s going to be 2 this December, so this month is very good to her! She came in for Christmas photos, and she even let her parents steal a little of her spotlight by getting into some family shots!

She did a great job posing and her parents and I had a very fun time doing silly things to make her laugh. The things you’ll do to make a kid smile are unbelievable! Here are some of my favorite photos from our session!

Vincent & Louis’ Christmas Session 2018

12/18/2018

Vincent and Louis have been coming into the studio since before they were born! They've been back many times now and it was great to see them back again for their Christmas photos this year! They had a lot of fun playing with the props we had on hand! It was so sweet to see how curious and playful they are, and how well they play together. They gave nice big smiles for the camera, especially when we waved around toys of their favorite characters from Puppy Dog Pals!
Here are some of my favorite photos from their session!

Gianna, Coda & Cadence's Christmas Session 2018

12/17/2018

This is the third year I’ve had the pleasure to photograph sweet Gianna and her two dogs, Coda and Cadence! They’re always so good at posing. I was looking back at Gianna’s past sessions and I noticed these three photos that are very similar to each other. I love to see a progression like this from year to year!

It’s so nice when clients come back to me again and again, because it shows me that they’re pleased with my work, and that makes me very happy. It’s also just great to see how the kids grow and change, and how the dogs are still goofy and sweet as always.
Here are my favorite photos from Gianna’s Christmas session this year!

Annie and Charley’s Christmas Session

12/15/2018

Ah, Christmas time! This is the time of year that I get to see my past clients I’ve shot as babies come back to me! I've been photographing Annie since her first birthday and Charley since she was a newborn. It's so fun to see how these two are growing into these big adorable kids. They have a lot of personality and they remind me a lot of my sister and I when we were kids.

We had a great day running around the park! Little sister Charley loved every opportunity to give her big sister a hug when I asked them to. She would squeeze her as hard as she could and then they would both dissolve into giggles. It was so sweet, and big sister Annie was a great sport about being asked to hug her little sister!

Here are my favorite shots from our session!

Sarah, Ethan and Jessica

11/9/2018

Ok, so I'm going to prepare you for something unexpected. There won't be any babies or dogs in this post. I know, that's very unusual for me! But the adorable kids you're going to see do belong to my dog trainer Corinn of Coexisting Canine Dog Training! I felt a little strange to be visiting her back yard without my Gracey in tow to attend her doggy social group, but I had a great time getting to know her kids Sarah, Ethan and Jessica during our session. Even though the dogs weren't in the photos this time, the kids still had fun. At the end of the session they even had a spontaneous tennis ball fight with the abundant amount of them laying around the yard. Here are some of my favorite photos from that day!

Juliette’s 1st Birthday

10/2/2018

I first met Juliette’s family when her mom was pregnant with her. Nina brought her son Owen and their family dog Bolt to the first pet portrait program I did with Islip Public Library. Nina and I kept in touch on Instagram and then the second time the program came around, Juliette joined them! By the time I met her, I felt like I knew her because I’d seen so many of her photos! She was just as smiley and happy at the program. When Nina reached out to me to shoot Juliette’s rainbow themed 1st birthday photos, I was so happy. I knew she was going to give me great smiles, and being the aunt to a rainbow baby myself, I was especially honored to capture these special memories.

Big brother Owen was so good posing with his baby sister. He’s had a lot of practice!

Then Dad joined us and we closed out the day with some family shots!

When Mom came in to the studio to see the photos, we did a few more shots of a onesie we didn’t get around to photographing at the park. Juliette is such a pro at smiling! I'm so happy I've been able to get to know this special girl and her family.

Emily and Thomas' Beach Photo Session

7/6/2018

Emily and Thomas are really used to me sticking my camera lens in their faces. I've been photographing their family since little Emily was christened. If you've visited this blog before, you've probably seen the Cameron family at some point. Their grandma Emily (little Emily's namesake) has been friends with my mom since they were in 1st grade. Grandma Emily thought it would be a fun idea to bring little Emily and Thomas to the beach for a photo session to give to their mom Erin for her birthday. They're a big beach family and little Emily especially loves mermaids, so this was a perfect opportunity to get her tail on and visit the shore!

They, of course, did an excellent job because they know by now that when I'm around, it's time to break out their serious modeling skills. Here are my favorite photos from the session!

Christian’s 7 Month Session

6/27/2018

My heart melted a little when Christian’s mom told me why she wanted to book a photo session for her son. She wanted to gift the photos to her husband for his first Father’s Day. She especially wanted to try to recreate a special photo taken of him when he was a kid, of him with two Mickey Mouse stuffed toys. Being a big Disney lover, I was so glad she asked me to help her with this very sweet portrait session.

Christian did so well in the studio! Some kids have a tough time sitting up at seven months old, but he did a great job. I couldn’t get over his very inquisitive beautiful blue eyes. He really enjoyed pushing the Radio Flyer around, and that made for my favorite photo of the day.

I always love when clients give the gift of photography. It's so meaningful and that meaning will last for generations. Making a tradition of photos means the memories will go on way beyond our time. I'm so glad I was able to help contribute to the memories of this beautiful family! Here are more of my favorite photos from Christian's special portrait session!
