Little Baby O!

Saturday morning I had a meeting with a couple to discuss their wedding and Kristin's niece "Baby O" was there and I just had to grab a couple quick shots before I left!!!

How freaking cute is she??? :)

The Bonelli's

Last year I did a session for Nina and her new addition Noah! Nina's sister Annette wanted to gift a session to Noah's God Parents Lisa & Pino! This past Sunday I headed to White Plains to do the session.

Pino greeted me and introduced me to Sofia and as Mom was changing Sabrina I started setting up. When I first saw Sabrina, it immediately reminded me of Brody, whose session I just shot a few weeks ago - two little chunky Italian bambinos!

I had a great time working with these two adorable little girls and Sofia was quite the little super model posing here and there for me while I was getting my lighting set up.

I just adore this first picture, she just had it all going on like a little Baby Gap model!



Sabrina looks like a little porcelain doll, she is so freaking cute!



This next shot is one of those oops I'm falling, but I'm okay, let me just roll over!



Reminds me of a little Buddha here in this next photo.



We got her to smile, we got her to smile yippy!



This is just a priceless shot, her little hat and outfit!



I always have a bunch of favorites, but I think this is definitely my favorite photo of Sofia and Dad!



Great shot of Dad playing with Sabrina here and Sabrina smiling again (yeah!)



I really look for those tender moments between parent and child, and usually they come at the most chaotic times, when the children start getting tired, this was one of those times.



I really like this shot of Dad and Sabrina as well..



Yet another great shot of Dad and Sabrina with Sabrina looking at me this time!!



Mom and Sabrina playing around a little too!



Another great moment between Mom and Sabrina!



This shot actually came from a much larger shot, but Sabrina looked away, but I really enjoyed Dad holding Sabrina's tiny little hand.



I had a great time on Sunday guys, it was a real pleasure meeting the Bonelli's! Thank you Nina and Annette! Look forward to seeing your families grow up!

Baby Jake!

On Sunday I had the opportunity to meet the Beermuender's!! Jennifer, Mike and their latest addition Jake, who was born Sep 27th, 2008.

He was a cute little fella, but missed his nap :( and he just started teething.. The things we go through as babies!

Here are some of my favorites from Sunday! Love this shot with a little drool coming down!





Mr. Jake is such a happy baby!







He sort of fell over here and hit his tiny little chin on the floor :(



Here is Mom reaching to help him up after his little fall.







I really liked this shot of Dad and Jake in front of their picture window.



It was great meeting you guys!

Baby Aidan!

On Saturday I had the privilege to meet baby Aidan, who was a mere 11 days old! I also met his parents too!!! While I was setting up I was talking with Dad (David) who happens to have sort of the same background as myself (engineering). Then we started talking about LEAN and 5S and things of that nature, while mom (Joanne) was feeding Aidan.

This guy was tiny, but not that tiny! He was born Feb 17, 2009 and weighed 9lbs .4oz



Here we have Mom and Dad each holding his tiny little feet.



A brief moment of tears - it was cold on that tile floor - Dad had a great idea though and slid a tiny carpet underneath the backdrop.



He looks so content here!



I really really liked this shot of dad getting in close with Aidan.



So much love and joy can be seen in Aidan's parents, its great!





Mom just has that look going on, you can read so much just from her body language.







I liked this shot of mom and Aidan.





A great family pic for sure.



This little guy/girl was so adorable, and just behaved so well.





It was nice meeting everyone on Saturday! Aidan is so adorable and I hope he goes back to sleeping 11 hours a night very soon!

Baby Brody!

It is so difficult for me to find the words to express this little guys family's enthusiasm during Saturday's session, it was so amazing that everyone got down on the floor with me and started rolling around!

Tracy and Joe (Brody's parents) were just so awesome to work with, they both have that edgy personality like myself, so needless to say we hit it off pretty well. Joe's sister Jen also was there and I must admit she has a great set of vocal chords. Someone remind me to make an appointment with my ENT :)

I had a great time guys and Brody is just so freaking adorable.. I have so many favorites from this session that I just can't seem to narrow them down to a handful, so here goes.

This has to be my favorite photo of all time with a 7 month old. So much character in this pose.



His tie and blue jeans were just so cute and I had to get a shot of his tiny little foot!



Brody just kept watching his Dad who was making some unique sounds along with Mommy!



Ya know Brody has to be playing on Mommy & Daddy's heartstrings! He's gonna be a handful I bet!



So much personality, its incredible. I just love this age, when it starts really coming out.





Brody is such a happy baby and this next shot displays exactly that!





Mom started walking with Brody and I just loved the expression on his face





Little super model Brody donned a Cowboy Hat!





Here are a couple little nudy shots!





Brody was protecting his assets very well - see how he just naturally covered 'em up!



Brody really really likes Mom's toes :)



This is one of my favorite expressions on Brody, kinda that devilish look tossed in with a little cheesin' it up!



This was one of the only times I didn't see Brody smiling - he was just taken in how much love he feels!





Tracy & Joe were superstars themselves - You can actually see the gleam in their eyes.



I liked this shot of Brody and Dad!







See I told you Joe had my type of personality!!!



Joe & Brody just having a special moment together.





Aunt Jen wanted a couple pics as well!



Finally here we have the whole crew (minus me) on the floor - you guys were great thanks for getting down with me.



I had a great time guys and look forward to seeing Brody grow up. Thanks again for trusting me with your precious moments.
