Manhattan Baby Photographer | Corrina's 1 year shoot

in

Corrina is turning 1 this Thursday! She's such a happy girl, I am not exaggerating when I say she smiled and laughed through 90% of her shoot on Sunday. Her birthday balloons may have blown away within the first 3 minutes of getting to the park, but who cares when you have a smile like this as your accessory?!

Manhattan Family Photographer | Central Park shoot

in

This morning I  headed in to NYC for some shooting. My first shoot involved taking a communion picture for this little guy. I think we really lucked out with the setting, because of the angel that sits atop the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. I'm loving this portrait. After we took some communion shots, we switched the focus to this guys little sister for some fun shots in the park. Nothing quite like a tutu to add a touch of whimsy!

I met up with two beautiful "parents-to-be" on Tuesday in Hoboken. We were so lucky to schedule the shoot when we did, because shortly after we finished, the rain began to come down. I had so much fun getting to know them, they truly are a fun couple. I think it shows through in their portraits--their happiness jumps right out you and I love it.

Hoboken Newborn Photographer | Eula, 3 weeks old

in

This week I met up with Eula for her very first photo shoot. Oh my, what a sweet little baby gir l-- with such a peaceful temperament! She didn't want to miss a beat during her shoot, so she stayed awake the entire time. She was such a trouper as she allowed us to change her in to different outfits and shoot her in an array of looks. Loving this baby doll, especially her cheeks and those eyes!

new jersey family photographer | love of a lifetime

in

We just got back from a wonderful vacation down in Florida with our family. I'm so grateful for our little getaway, it was just what we needed after such a long winter. While away, I had the chance to photograph my grandparents, who have been married for 70 years. They're such amazing people who have seen so much in their lifetime, and I am beyond honored to have photographed them for their upcoming anniversary party. I had to share the pictures because they are so adorable.

Hoboken Newborn Photographer | Landon, 7 days old

in

Today I photographed a very handsome 7 day old baby boy. He was a total dreamboat....not only was this baby boy super cute, but he also had a mellow personality that was beyond totally adorable. I had so much fun photographing him, I mean, between the face and the yawn expressions - who wouldn't be in heaven?!

Totally looking like his dad (see above shot complete with dad vintage portrait).

New Jersey Family Photographer | Cole's 1 year shoot

in

Today I met up with Cole and his parents for his one year photo shoot. I was so excited that we got to do the shoot outdoors, showcasing all of the fabulous snow we got just days ago (winter shoots are my personal favorite, partially because I love shooting in snow!). Cole is such a cutie pie, he was all smiles, mixed with lot of intense studies of the landscape surrounding him. The mix of facial expressions was perfect "baby model face". The bottom line is that I am totally obsessed with the outcome. Hope you agree!

New Jersey Newborn Photographer | winter light

The other day I met up with my girlfriend who's due on Tuesday (can  you believe it?!). I packed my camera with me, thinking if she was feeling up to it- I'd love to snap a picture of her belly before the baby arrives. I was so happy that she was totally down with the idea, so before I left, we gathered our little ones and I snapped this shot of her in her front yard. It was bitterly cold out, my baby girl was strapped to the front of me the ergobaby (her head kept blocking my lens!). This mamma-to-be's son was running around the yard like a little wild indian. We may  not have gotten a perfect shot of her with her son, AND the bump...but we did capture this special picture. You'd never know the chaos that was going on behind the scenes! Love the wintery light shining down on her.

New Jersey Family Photographer | outdoor winter shoot

in

Although yesterday seemed a bit gloomy, it was actually quite warm for a winter shoot, and the lighting was soft and lovely for pictures. I met up with the sweetest little sisters for their first ever "professional" portraits (they were naturals, as to be expected with faces like this). There was lots of frolicking and posing going on, and I'm loving the end results. Hope you enjoy the sneak peak.
