Holiday Photos (finally!)

Well, well, well…where have I been?! I have actually been CRAZY BUSY! I literally disappeared from the blogging world during the months October through December. I was doing shoots almost every single weekend and literally spent every waking minute editing and getting everyone's CD's out so they could make beautiful Christmas cards! Whew, it was a whirlwind but so fun at the same time. I got to meet some great people and photograph some really adorable children and babies!

I have been wanting to share some photos from these shoots but had to wait for the right time. 1) I was super busy and 2) many of the parents asked me not to blog or post or facebook any photos until after their Christmas cards went out. So that brought me to late December and then I took a short hiatus for the holidays and now I am finally back at it! Below are photos from 7 shoots I did which took place all over: from NYC, to NJ to Long Island!

First up was James, just short of 2 years old…what an adorable little guy! We did his photos at my "secret location" on Long Island (one of my fav spots to shoot) and I really loved the light and my gorgeous little subject. He has some killer eyes and eye lashes…



















Second up was 2 year old Angelina. This photoshoot was also out on Long Island in her cozy home which was so beautifully decorated for Christmas. Angelina was is super photogenic and is also the sweetest little girl! When our session was over, she grabbed my hand invited me to come play with her - awwww!

























Third was 14 month old Avery Quinn…another Long Island session. This was my 3rd time taking Avery's photos and my camera just loves him. Is he not perfect?! His hat is just too cute and I love all his expressions!













Ok so there was one meltdown…lol…he hated the bucket!



Fourth up - photos on the Upper West Side: Hayden (2), Jake (1) and baby Luke (2 weeks old)! Everyone was dressed to the nines and they all looked like they could have children's clothing ad! This family was super cute and we had a really fun time taking photos!




















Ohhh this is a favorite!



Fifth - onto Jersey City for 7 month old George's photos. This little guy has perfect skin and the cutest dimples and was just so lovable and cuddly. There was also some beautiful light in their condo and it made for some great photos!

















Sixth - I did photos of Anthony (2 & 1/2) and Adrian (9 months) at Old Westbury Gardens. What a perfect setting and a nice fall day for photos. These cuties have been on my blog before and it is SO fun watching them grow up!





















Love this one of mom and dad...



And last but not least…baby Braydon. Just 5 days old and cute as a button! These are a few holiday sneak peaks from his newborn shoot…more photos to come in a separate blog post!
