NJ Newborn| Cranford | Vada

When I ran a model call for a newborn photography sessionI was only going to book 1 model, but oops! I wound up booking 2! LOL, no seriously though. I love newborn photography so much that I decided what the heck!? Let’s do 2! Vada was a tiny little adorable peanut. And as luck would have it, she wasn’t thrilled about modeling either. LOL. But that doesn’t bother me. I know that I will always win HAHA!

As a newborn photographer and an ARTIST, I want to capture and create beautiful art with your babies just as much as you want that! This is part of why newborn sessions are scheduled with a 3 hour timeframe. Babies are gonna “baby”! They get hungry, they need diaper changes. And sometimes they just need a little TLC. I plan for these things!

I’ve been doing newborn photography for 10+ years and I still am head over heels for it! And you know what else I’m head over heels for? Little girls in BLUE! I mean, just look at this little SQUISH! Thank you so much Jen and Vada for volunteering your time to help me perfect my craft even further. You ROCK!

NJ Newborn | Scotch Plains | Freya

This little beauty was kind enough to help me out with a Newborn photography model call I was doing to brush up on some poses and test out some new backdrops. Although she wasn’t feeling it until about 2 hours in (maybe more LOL), she finally let me get some of the shots I wanted and I am absolutely in LOVE with how these turned out! This backdrop is actually the underside of a pattern and I am not mad about it! In fact it may be my new favorite! What do you think?

She had the most beautiful blonde hair! It was practically white! <3. So happy to have been able to meet you, Freya! And your mommy and daddy too!

Scotch Plains | Newborn | Liam

Here I am again! Catching up with more newborn session updates! This little guy was WIDE AWAKE for almost the entire session! He was just so interested in all the things I was doing! While usually I prefer babies to be asleep for their sessions, I wasn’t mad about it. Just look at these images! HAHA! He was STARING right at me!

I was so happy to capture baby Liam in the first days after his arrival earthside. His momma grew up in the same town as me and I’ve known her parents for years! It’s so fun to see grandchildren of people that I literally grew up with and see the similarities in their looks. Sure, babies are combinations of the parents, grandparents, and on and on. But I can’t help but see a lot of his Grandpa Brian in him. 🙂

Welcome to the world Baby Liam! I’m so behind in posting, you’re probably walking and talking by now LOL! Just kidding, he’s like 4 months old HAHA!

Scotch Plains Newborn Photographer | Cyril

It’s been a minute since I posted, but that just means I’ve ben busy! Which is a great thing! I’ve been lucky to be able to photograph a number of babies in the last few months. I consider myself a “Joan” of all Trades when it comes to what I like to photograph. But really, newborns have my heart. I feel so lucky to be able to capture all their little features in the first days of life. Not only to be able to capture them with my camera, but just being in their presence. It’s an amazing thing. It’s magical. And it literally fills my heart and soul. It reminds me what a miracle life is and how incredibly lucky we are to be able to have this experience here on this planet.

Here are some pics of Baby Cyril. Such a little peanut with incredible skin. Thank you for trusting me to capture your sweet little guy <3

NJ Newborn | Violet | Scotch Plains, NJ

Time sure flies

I recently did a newborn photography blog post about Baby Rosanna and I realized that I must not have blogged about big sis, Violet! How is that possible? Oh, I know now, the last 3 years have been a total blur and life has been crazy! That’s how!

So since I never did post pics from Violet’s Newborn session (or maybe I did and now I just can’t find it), I figured I would post some now and backdate it! LOL! Don’t judge me! Hey, at least I posted her cake smash!

Here are some of the images from a couple of years ago when little Violet first joined us, Earthside!
