My bestie Lauren is giving birth to her first baby this December, and last weekend was her baby shower! It was at the Garden Grill in Smithtown, hosted by the very excited Grandmas-to-be, Nancy and Marie. Lauren's finally been feeling better after a pretty rough pregnancy. It was nice to see her be able to eat her lunch without looking queasy! I'm so excited for her and her husband Mike to become parents, and I can't wait to meet little Addison in December.
​Here are some of the photos I took during the beautiful event! 

Are you expecting too?

My best friend is having a baby!
​I'm so excited for my bestie Lauren and her husband Mike, who are expecting a bundle of joy this December. This past weekend, they included their friends and family in on the fun of finding out whether they're having a boy or a girl at their gender reveal party. I brought my camera along to document the festivities. The beautiful cake was sitting on the dining room table throughout the party, tantalizing everyone with the secret it held inside. Until the parents-t0-be cut into it, only the sonogram tech and the baker knew whether the layers inside would be 
blue or pink....

When guests entered the party, they cast their votes on the scoreboard for what they thought the baby would be. I took a long hard look at Lauren's belly..........and turns out I have neither psychic capabilities nor x-ray vision so I was pretty much drawing a blank. I decided to go with what I hoped the baby would be: a girl, because it meant I could buy her adorable little dresses and headbands. Also, the little pink tutu pin I got as a result matched my shirt better ;) 
By the time it was ready for the big event, the votes were pretty much split down the middle. I believe the final count was 11 for boy and 12 for girl. 
Here's what the reveal looked like:

IT'S A GIRL!
(I was right!)
Congratulations Lauren and Mike!
I love you guys, and I can't wait to meet your little girl in December.

Welcome to the world, Nadya! This precious girl came to visit me for her first photos. At first, she was wide awake and not terribly interested in modeling. Once she fell asleep, we were able to do tons of poses with the little princess. We even got her beautiful mom and handsome dad in on the fun. I love the photo of this tiny little girl in her dad's arms. I'm so honored to have been able to photograph the beginning of this family.

Two year old Morgan is well-known to anyone who's seen my portfolio, business cards, studio samples, etc. She's one of the first babies I photographed when I decided what I wanted my career path to be, and she and her family have come back to me many times since I first met her! That's why I couldn't wait to meet the newest addition to their family, her little brother Liam!

For only about a month old, Liam is one strong baby! He surprised me by being able to hold himself up for what became my favorite shot of the whole session. (How fitting that I was watching Disney's Hercules on Netflix while I was editing his photographs. I love animated movies, I'm not ashamed!)

After Liam got tired from his impressive show of strength, then it was Morgan's turn to show me more of her great modeling skills. She's got a great smile. That's why she's on so many of my marketing materials! I had a great time with these two siblings and I can't wait to see them again!

I love when clients come back to me with new additions to their family. For one, it shows they had a good experience with me and that they trust me to capture more memories for their family. Secondly, I get to see how the kids I've photographed in the past have grown and changed since I last saw them. That's why I was so happy to see little Annie come in with her new baby sister, Charley Grace. As you can see, beautiful blue eyes run in their family. 

Annie was so sweet and eager to cuddle with Charley during the shoot. As a little sister myself, it was great to see the beginning of their bond. I know firsthand that a sister is one of the most important relationships of your life. Annie and Charley only have to look to their mom Robyn and their aunt Kelly, who came to help during the session, to see that. I can't wait to see these girls again in the future!
