I love every opportunity to take photos of my adorable little nephew Seth (if you've read my blog before, you probably know that haha). So when my sister bought this super cute Easter outfit for him and asked me to take some shots of him in the studio, of course I obliged. Now, Seth is almost 4, and not a dog, so he's a little outside of my expertise. I'm so used to photographing newborns and pets, that I almost got dizzy with the little ball of energy that was bouncing around my studio. Three and a half year olds don't fall asleep if you give them milk and they don't sit and stay for jerky treats, but I did have some luck promising him he'd get a present if he'd sit still for more than 1/4 of a second. If all else fails, I'm not above bribery. Even though it was a chaotic session, we got some beautiful shots. He can be such a ham. Like in the first shot below, I didn't even ask him to do that with his hands. I guess being my constant model since the first hour of his life has taught him a few things! Here are my favorites from Seth's session! Have a Happy Easter, everyone!

Looking back at this session makes me miss the fall so much, I swear! I did this shoot with the parents of the wonderful Handsome Zeus who I've photographed many times. Go check him out on Instagram! Katrina and Andrew are getting married at the end of the year, so we met this past October to commemorate their engagement with some photos at the beautiful Peconic River Herb Farm. Katrina came well-equipped with plenty of props and ideas for the session. She even got me involved in making a video for her to post on TikTok and Reels! As a certified old curmudgeon, I am always slow to try out new stuff, so I haven't done any of those kinds of videos for social media yet. But now I can say I participated in one, at least! We got some really special shots of the engagement ring balanced on Zeus' nose, which I really love. I had to lay flat on the ground to get that one, but Katrina has a lot of experience with taking photos of her dog, so I knew she wouldn't think I was weird! Sometimes with pet photography, you have to get very creative (and a little messy) to get the shot! Here are some of my favorite photos from our session! Get in touch to book your pet session today!

The trails there are beloved by dogs and their owners so if you have a chance to visit there give it a shot! I met Leo and his mom Annette there to get some shots for their Christmas card. We started off with this adorable teddy bear sweater and then he went au naturel to explore the trails. He was a little hesitant at first to do individual shots but got a little more comfortable later on when he got used to the weird lady sticking the big camera lens in his face! He was so much happier to pose with his mom and he seemed the most at ease when he was snuggled in her arms! He was interested to see all the other dogs who passed us by on the trails, and this is a popular spot for pups, so we had the opportunity to make a lot of friends! This was a really fun session and I'm so glad I got the chance to get to know Leo and his mom! Here are some of my favorite photos from our session! Get in touch to book your pet session today!

My sister and I decided we’d do her family Christmas photos there. The day we went there for our photos turned out to be FREEZING. The wind was brutal and we were wishing we’d done them much earlier! Even though it was super cold, my nephew Seth did really well posing! He’s so used to me taking photos of him by now! In fact, he routinely tells me “take a picture, Aunt Laura!” at random points each day. He was excited to explore the gingerbread houses and the Airstream village most of all. After we finished up with family shots, we let Seth have some time on the jump pad, the part of the farm he likes the best! Because we went during the week and it was such a chilly day, he had the whole thing to himself! When we got home that day, he indulged me by taking one last shot in front of their Christmas tree! Here are some of my favorite shots from the day! I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! Get in touch to book your session today!
