Cole's Newborn Session

6/5/2019

0 Comments

 
Every time I book a newborn session, I get excited. Every baby I’ve ever photographed has been so unique and special. I look forward especially when it’s a first baby, because I know these photos are going to mean so so much to new parents. I could tell Cole’s parents were so happy to welcome their little boy into the world. They brought such cute outfits for their little guy to wear, including a blue moon knit set that’s become one of my favorite outfits a client has ever brought in. It worked so perfectly with my white wooden moon prop! They also brought a very special prop from home with them, a bunny rabbit stuffed animal that had been Cole's dad's when he was a kid. I love when people bring in things with history, it means so much to get them in photos. 

Cole did such a great job, tolerating a ton of outfit changes to make sure we got shots of all his cute duds! What I really loved about this session was that mom Tracy and dad Sean wanted to be involved. Oftentimes, new moms are not entirely comfortable with their postpartum bodies and they demur when it comes to being included in photographs. I’m a big believer that every body is beautiful and deserves to be celebrated and photographed, especially when it’s just done the amazing work of creating a new life. I hope Tracy will cherish these photos of her and her baby boy for a very long time.

Here are some of my favorite photos from our session!

March for Babies Fundraiser - Jones Beach, LI, NY

3/13/2019

Being a newborn and pet photographer, babies and pets are obviously pretty important to me. They're my livelihood! Helping babies and pets that are in need is also incredibly important to me. If you follow this blog, you probably know my friends and I do a fundraiser walk every year to raise money for the rescue dogs and cats at the Kent Animal Shelter. We decided this year we’re going to double the fun and the impact by walking in the March for Babies fundraiser on April 28th at Jones Beach in Wantagh, NY.

Donations from the walk will go to fund research for premature births and help families who have babies in the NICU. My friend Dina’s son Dominic was in the NICU for 6 weeks (read about his story here) and she said that the March of Dimes gave her and her husband so much support while they were dealing with the nightmare of having a baby sick in the NICU.

If you'd like to donate, share our fundraiser, or start your own, check out our team page here!
​ Thank you! ​

Avery’s Newborn Session

2/27/2019

Avery’s mom Lizzie is one of my oldest friends! I posted her family maternity session a while back (see those photos here!) and I was so excited when I heard Avery had arrived, so I could shoot her newborn session! Just like the maternity session, we made the newborn shoot a family affair!

​Big sister Morgan had asked to dress Avery, so she showed up in a special unicorn outfit that perfectly complemented Morgan’s! We took photos with the whole family, with just her sister Morgan and brother Liam, with mom and dad and some of Avery on her own. She did really well sleeping, and even when she woke up at the end, she wasn’t crying so we were able to get some eyes open shots! Here are some of my favorite photos from our session!

Dominic’s Newborn Session

1/29/2019

0 Comments

 
You might remember the baby shower I posted a few months back for one of my best friends, Dina. Dina and Mike waited a long time to meet their son Dominic. That’s why it was especially hard when he needed to spend time in the NICU after he was born. There were some scary moments, and Dominic or “Big Dom” as he’s also known, had to be in the NICU for 6 weeks before he was cleared to go home. This was an incredibly hard time for Dina and Mike. They couldn’t even hold their baby for weeks and weeks, so it was an incredible feeling when they were able to go home with their sweet boy! No more long nights in the family waiting room, no more driving back and forth to the hospital at all hours, no more seeing their little boy hooked up to machines.

Dina was worried that because he was past the age of a typical newborn session, that we wouldn’t be able to get good shots of him once he was home. Well, she worried in vain. Even though Dom was a little bit older, we were still able to get him sleepy enough for some typical newborn shots, and we even got him awake and smiling for some! He did an amazing job. Those smiles show you just how happy he is to be home being loved to pieces by his mom and dad.
​
When I see Dominic now, healthy and happy and thriving, it’s hard to believe he’s the same baby I saw in the NICU. At our third or fourth visit there, I was so happy to be able to hold him. It was so great to see him out of his little pod and awake and finally able to look around and stretch his legs. Needless to say, this was a very special newborn session that I was so overjoyed to photograph. Here are some of my favorite photos from Dominic’s session!

Madison’s Newborn Session

1/7/2019

0 Comments

 
Meet Madison! This lucky little girl has tons of people around her who love her immensely. At her session, I met her parents, her three siblings, her grandparents and her big sweet doggy, who were all so excited to be there and to help out with her photos. In my experience, usually bigger siblings have very little interest in what happens at the photo session of their little brother or sister, but Madison’s brothers and sister were willing and eager to sit in a warm little room with us and watch their sweet baby sister’s photo shoot. The whole family is enamored of their new addition. It was so great to be there to help them commemorate her arrival!
Here are some of my favorite photos from Madison’s session!

Lily's Newborn Session

11/29/2018

0 Comments

 
Lily’s dad Brandon is one of my oldest and best friends. We met in 9th grade in the cafeteria of our high school (he will try to tell you it was 8th grade, but don’t listen to his nonsense) and we’ve been friends ever since. I was so happy for him and his wife Richelle when they told me they were having a baby!

When they brought little Lily into the studio, I was struck by the fact that she looks so much like Brandon! It’s like they shrunk his head and put it on a baby! We had a lot of fun during her session reminiscing about old times. I’ve seen Brandon at so many stages in his life, and being a husband and dad is definitely his happiest.

Here are are some of my favorite photos from Lily’s session!
Look out for more photos of Lily soon, because we just did her Christmas photos yesterday and they're too cute!

Baby Seth's Newborn Session No. 1

8/2/2018

2 Comments

 
My sister Lisa and her husband Will tried for a very long time to start a family, and it was a very difficult time. She has been very open about her struggles and I know for a fact that it's helped several women going through the same thing to hear about her journey. My nephew Seth came into our lives on July 10th. He is a tiny little miracle and I love him like crazy.

Shooting Lisa's baby's newborn session was something I dreamed about for years. I had several special outfits and props set aside that I was waiting to use on my niece or nephew some day. I was finally able to use those in Seth's newborn session. It lasted for 3 days because I couldn't stop taking photos of his adorable little face. He looks exactly like my sister Lisa.

​Because there are so many photos, I've decided to break the photos up into a few different posts, not to overwhelm anyone with his cuteness :) 
Here is the first round of Lil Baby's Seth newborn session!

Stay tuned for more Seth coming soon!

Leyla’s Newborn Session

6/15/2018

Say hello to little Leyla! I had the pleasure of meeting her and her older sister Kaira when I photographed their family portraits and then her newborn photos last month. I’ve known her parents for several years, because they worked at the physical therapy office my sister and I went to  years ago. They were just dating when we went there, so it’s really sweet to see that they’re now married with two adorable kiddos!

This session was photographed in their home. It was so great to be able to catch up with them and meet Kaira and Leyla! Kaira was so sweet with her new baby sister. I can tell they're going to be the best of friends. I know from experience that having a sister so close in age means that you're always going to have a play mate and a confidant in your life at all times. Here are my favorite photos from the session!

My Work in the Gallery Hall of Islip Public Library

5/8/2018

0 Comments

 
I’m so excited to announce that I installed a display of my photography in the gallery hall at Islip Public Library! I have fifteen pieces in the gallery and they’ll be up for the whole month of May, leading up to the 2nd pet portrait program I’m doing on June 9th on their garden terrace. I’ve put in a selection of both my newborn and pet photographs. It was very hard narrowing down many years of photos to the work I’m the most proud of. I’m working on getting my artwork into more galleries, though, so I hope I’ll be able to use more of my favorite photos later on!
​
If you're a client of mine or were involved in the pet portrait program last year, you'll probably see some familiar faces there!  
Go check it out at 71 Monell Avenue in Islip.

Lilly's Newborn Session

3/12/2018

0 Comments

 
Lovely Lilly was a little more than a month old during her first photo session, so she was a bit more alert than a lot of the babies I photograph. I’m not used to seeing open eyes during my sessions, but hers were so pretty, it was a nice change of pace! She was very good at looking at the camera too, which was pleasantly surprising to me.

Even though she was awake, she was a very happy baby throughout the whole session! She didn’t even mind being wrapped up in a scratchy flag during some special photos with her dad, who is a firefighter EMT. Shockingly, she actually nodded off a little bit when we put her into his helmet, which was probably the most uncomfortable set up we did that whole day!

​Here are a few of my favorite photos from Lilly’s session!
