It’s been a little bit of a crazy time over here at Laura Pea Photography! I try to dedicate a blog post to most sessions I do, but this V-Day season got away from me. If you follow along on my Instagram (@laurapeaphotography), you’ll have seen all these photos but I decided to do a roundup post of the sessions I did for Valentine’s Day this year for those that follow my blog! First up is my nephew Seth! This is his first Valentine’s Day and I was so excited to get him in the studio to use some of the props I’ve been accumulating over the years! He’s so used to the click of my camera and the flash of my lights, so he did an amazing job! Next is Juliette and Owen! I photographed them at two of the pet portrait programs I did at the Islip Public Library and then I was honored to photograph Juliette’s 1st birthday photos! They came back for her 18 month photos to surprise their dad whose birthday is the day before Valentine’s Day. They had so much fun playing around with the props I have in the studio! I love how these came out! Jules has such a brilliant smile and Owen is such a great older brother, who was so happy to pose with his little sister. Next are my little girl Gracey’s photos! I always take photos of her when I’m figuring out my setups for sessions. She’s always happy to model for me, especially because she knows there are freeze-dried beef liver treats in it for her! Finally is my cousin Peyton’s Valentine’s Day photos! Peyton’s mom Lori is the reason why I have this very cute little play kitchen. She saw it for sale online and told me about it. I agreed it would be a very cute addition to the studio and picked it up. Peyton was very happy to play with it in exchange for a few beautiful smiles toward the camera! I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day! Book a session with me by emailing laurapeaphotography@gmail.com

 This is Harley. He’s definitely the spitfire of the group. He always wanted to be dead center in the front of the photo, like the star he is. |  This is Christie. She’s a little shy and didn’t want to be the center of attention, so we had to keep pulling her forward to make sure she didn’t get lost in the photo. She’s incredibly sweet and gentle. |
 Reese is Christie’s sister. She was a little shy at first but really warmed up and showed her personality once she got to know me. She’s got beautiful blue eyes. |  Last but not least is Johnny Utah. I love his light coat. He was very energetic and loved to take photos with his favorite toy “Purple Guy”. |
Here are some of my favorite shots from our session!
We did some of the dogs together, some in groups and then some individual shots. Ralph even called his neighbor over to bring her dog Layla. Layla and Harley were born around the same time so they’ve been playing together since they were puppies. All Ralph had to say was “Layla” and Harley started to prance around and get excited for his friend. When her mom brought Layla over, they started playing together just like they were still puppies.
This turned out to be one of my favorite sessions of 2018. A lot of times pet owners are anxious that their pet won't sit, won't do well, will be too hyper during the session, that it makes the pet even more nervous. Ralph was totally at ease, he let the dogs have fun and he trusted me to do my thing and get great photos. He and his wife loved the way they came out and bought my biggest album, which came out so beautifully that I'm going to order a sample of it to keep in my studio. I also got to spend some time with 5 of the sweetest and cutest dogs ever, and that never hurts. If you're getting photos taken of your pet, remember to relax and have fun with it. Your dog will sense you're at ease and they'll be at ease too, and it'll make for fun and beautiful photos like these!

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!

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!
You might have seen Lily’s newborn session that I posted recently! Her parents are good friends of mine, so it was great to see her and them again so soon after that for her Christmas photos! I went to their house for the session so that we could get their pups involved a little bit in the shoot. They found this really amazing vintage sled at an estate sale, so I was really excited to use that in the photos!
Lily did so well and she looked so adorable
in her Christmas dress. Their dogs Dakota and Bambi love their little sister and they snuck in a lot of kisses in between shots. Here are some of my favorite shots from Lily’s Christmas session!

You might have seen Zeus’ outdoor session at the park last week. Well, this guy’s cuteness can’t be contained to just one post! After our fun session at Blydenburgh Park, Zeus’ mom Katrina brought him in for some studio shots to celebrate his birthday! Katrina got Zeus a beautifully decorated birthday cookie. He waited so patiently for us to take a few photos before he tore into it, but then he made quick work of devouring it. He’s such a gentleman that he made sure to lick up all the crumbs off the floor. Thanks, Zeus!
Here are his birthday photos!

After his birthday photos, we brought in the holiday props to take some Christmas shots! Zeus is so well-trained and sweet that he let us put a bunch of funny headbands on him and didn’t make a peep or try to shake them off once!
We finished up with some special photos with Zeus’ favorite toy. This is the first toy Zeus’ mom Katrina bought him and he treats it really well. She told me he never chews too hard on his Duck and he sleeps with it at night. This reminded me of our family dog when I was younger, Whiskey. He had this fuzzy toy “Baby” that he cherished his whole life and used to carry around tenderly. It was so cute to see Zeus cuddling with his special toy, especially because he was wearing the most adorable pajamas!
HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY, ZEUS!
