Meet Killian Tiberius Orick Judge, the little guy with the big name! This beautiful boy is the son of my friend Wilhelmina. You might remember her adorable maternity session with her sweet pack of pups last year! She and her husband Patrick welcomed this adorable little guy this year to round out their beautiful family. Big brother Phoenix even got into on some of the fun of our photo session because he’s all about his baby brother. I think Phoenix might have actually thought the session was for him because every time we took Killian off to change an outfit or backdrop, Phoenix came by to get his own close up! We started off with some family shots of Killian with proud mom and dad (and big brother Phoenix was always close by)! Then we moved onto Killian’s turn in the spotlight. He was nice and sleepy so we were able to do lots of outfits and backdrops, and even got to feature some special toys that mom and dad passed down to him. These and other sentimental items like handmade quilts and blankets always add a sweet emotional touch to newborn photos, so I love when clients want to include things like that. Killian did such an amazing job! I especially love the shots of him in the puppy outfit. Here are some of my favorite shots from our session! Welcome to the world, Killian!

Every year I’m so busy getting my clients’ holiday photos done, that I tend to leave my own shooting and editing to the last minute! Here are some of the personal holiday photos I've been shooting this season. For the last few years, I've been decorating a small studio tree with some of the camera ornament overflow from my big Christmas tree (I have roughly 1,000 haha). Last year I picked up a small real tree from Waterdrinker Family Farm in Manorville, and decided to put it up in our kitchen instead of the studio so we could see it more often. |
I also took a few shots in the studio of my beautiful daughter Gracey, who is a very unwilling participant when it comes to photos 😂. I usually have a only a few minutes of cooperation before she decides the session is over. Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve been doing this long enough to be able to get a decent amount of photos of even the most unwilling subjects, so I was able to snap some adorable portraits of her in less than 5 minutes, and she was handsomely rewarded with a smorgasbord of treats for her time.
Then another day we tried again in some Christmas pajamas for more photos with his huge stuffed moose, who he named Horns, which was his big Christmas present last year. He likes to sit on top of Horns and has decent balance, but he was getting a little wobbly toward the end, so I added a little support for him so he could be antsy on top of Horns and we wouldn't have to worry about him taking a tumble.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Their Gracie is an adorable Yorkshire Terrier and she did amazing for her photos. We did some of the whole family, some of Gracie on her own, and some of Brendan and Gracie, to commemorate the very special bond they share. We had a great time talking while we walked and shot photos along the beautiful trails in the park. It was so nice to get to know this sweet family. Shannon told me she hadn't gotten professional photos done in so many years, so I was very happy to be able to capture some for them!
I love the way that Gracie was tilting her head in so many of these photos. I have an arsenal of silly noises I can make to catch a dog's attention. Usually once they hear a noise a few times, they get used to it and it doesn't get them to look anymore. That's why I've developed so many, and Gracie was interested in every one of them. If you're ever at a Long Island beach or park, and you hear a woman squeaking, whistling, humming, and generally sounding like an absolute weirdo, there's a good chance it's me trying to get a dog to look my way. It's all worth it for those adorable head tilts that all dog owners know and love!
Here are some of my favorite photos from our session!
