MOVING!

Please excuse my absence! There seemed to be a baby boom in June and July and I was super busy with newborns shoots in NJ! (I promise to blog them soon, soooo many good images!)

I do have some BIG NEWS - we found out in July that we were going to be relocating down to North Carolina for my husband's job! We are more than thrilled about this news! I know NC is a beautiful place because my sister is down there and I have visited many times! Oh and my sister just had a baby girl (another session I need to blog) and I am so excited to spend time with her and my new niece Emmie!

So anyway - we will be living in the Winston-Salem/Clemmons area and I will starting up the business very soon…hopefully by October! A perfect time to do some fall sessions and holiday sessions. Please pass my information on to any friends you have down there! Thanks!!!

Ok and here are 3 sneak peaks from my nieces photo session - isn't she a beauty?!

Baby Braydon - 6 days old!

Here of some pictures of beautiful baby Braydon at just 6 days old. I shared a few of these photos on my holiday thread but wanted to post a few more. Isn't he just absolutely perfect?! I love his little squishy lips!

Baby Girl Siena

Baby girl Siena was born almost 5 weeks early and was just as tiny as can be! I did her shoot at around 4 weeks old and she was still a good sleeper and a wonderful little model! She barely made a peep during her shoot and when she did wake up she was wide-eyed and happy! Her parents were so sweet and we chatted like we were old friends. They live on the upper west side in NYC in a gorgeous place with a balcony! I could not resist the beautiful views so we went outside for a few family pictures! I always like to spend a good amount of time getting photos of mom and dad with their new little bundle…I feel it is so important for clients to have these in their collection of photos.

Enjoy!





She definitely had a few smiles...



My new red blanket that I am loving…

Newborn Nicholas

It was SO good to see my friend Kim and get to meet her new little bundle of love, Nicholas. Kim is someone I have known almost my whole life and was also a close soccer buddy of mine. We played on a few different teams together growing up - travel team, school team and a LI Select team- so yeah we saw eachother a lot, 7 days a week at certain times! I did some maternity photos for Kim when she was pregnant with her first son and also a little mini session of baby #1 but we went all out for this session! Baby Nicholas was a tiny little peanut weighing in at just about 6 pounds at his photo session (5 days old)! He was nice and sleepy when I got there was a good little model! He did have a few crying moments and I thought they were so cute actually and snapped a few shots of that as well.

Kim - your little babe is just so handsome and I cannot wait to watch him grow up! Thanks for having me photograph him and for buying me pizza as well! Feeding me while on the job with my favorite food = happy photographer! I am going to keep the contests running here so if we can get 10 comments from different people in the comment section on this post in the next 2 weeks, I will gift this family a 5×7 photo of their choice!

AlsoI wanted to give a big shot out to the Etsy shop, "I'll be yarned" for all the awesome hats and cocoons used during this shoot. Visit her amazing shop here ----> illbeyarned



I love this little cry-face one!

















Big brother Anthony is the cutest



I just LOVE these hand-painted decorations she had done in the baby's room - so cute!

Avery Quinn

When I showed up to do this shoot for little Avery, I was so excited to see that both he and his parents all dressed up in Giant's gear! Even though I am a Jets fan at heart I still have a soft spot for any NY team and love seeing babies dressed up in their parents' favorite team. It was game day and the little man was all ready to start learning all about football!

I did this shoot back in October but am still getting caught up on my blog! I had a lull over the winter and some serious computer issues but now I am back up and running! Little Avery was only 1 month old in this shoot and was very precious. He actually proved to be pretty strong too - he could already hold his head up and he turned over by himself which I think may be a new record! I have never seen that happen at such an early age! Go Avery! We did more of an informal shoot for Avery and I think we got some cute shots of him.

I wanted to thank Tatiana from Tiny Clicks for coming along with me on this shoot and also Christine from Christine Melissa Photography for help with editing! I love working with other photographers because I feel like I learn something new every time!
