Spring Mini-Sessions are here!

Hey everyone!  Spring Mini-Sessions are here - Saturday, May 24th.  There are 2 slots left if anyone is interested.  The timeslots are 30 minutes long and are great for families, kids, couples, and maternity; drop me a line if you are interested!

Have a great weekend!

Portrait: Krystle + 1 little Anthony | Hudson Valley Newborn Photography

There is nothing better to me than photographing phases of life.  It makes me feel so lucky and honored that I get to document such enormous and amazing life changes.  I first met Krystle and Anthony when I took their engagement photos at Millbrook Winery.  Then, the awesomeness that was their wedding happened at Patriot Hills. And now, I am so psyched to post some photos of their little new bundle, baby Anthony.  Amazing.  A month or so ago, I shot some photos of adorably pregnant Krystle (in the snow!) and now, little Anthony is here.  The newborn stage goes incredibly fast (my little guy is three months now and he has been out of that stage for about 2 months now!), in another month, it will be hard to believe he was this tiny.  Thanks for the honor, guys - see you soon :)

Portrait: Svea

Some of you might remember Addy & Aaron's amazing wedding (if not, check it out!), I definitely do and it was a great day.  I was beyond excited when Addy told me they were having a little one and asked me to come over to photograph her.  We weren't sure if the timing was going to work out with my new little guy (post coming soon!), but since he came a little early, we were good to go and I was off to meet the adorable Svea!  And as expected....she was a perfect subject :).

Portrait: Miles

Oh, how I love these photos.  Miles is the sweetest little boy and he was so good for his session!  I don't think he even made a peep at all until towards the end (and even then, it was a tiny peep).  I had a great time getting to know him and hanging with his awesome parents - and, since its Friday and I know they are excited for these photos, I'm not going to ramble on any longer.  Happy weekend everyone! 

(On a quick side note, I love when parents purchase a few special things before a baby photo session!  I think it really customizes the session towards you and your family, rather than just me bringing a bunch of 'props'.  I'd much rather use things that are meaningful to you and your family and your house - makes memories!  And with that, how cute is the hat that Mallory bought for Miles??)

One of my favorites. Just love it.

Portrait: Valentina

Good morning everyone!  So happy it is a beautiful day - we are on our way to a wedding at the gorgeous Garrison, love it there!  But, before I leave, I wanted to post these sweet photos of little Valentina!  Isn't she beautiful?  She really just wanted to be held by her mom and dad, so that is what we did most of the time :).  Although, she did spot me through the crib when I was trying to take a photo of her by herself!  Babies are hysterical and I really prefer to let them be natural and not force them into any super baby poses - they are tiny individuals and already know what they want to do (and by the time they are three, ahem, like mine is, they really know what they want to do!).

So, Happy Friday and enjoy these photos of little Valentina! 

Portrait: Owen

I've had the honor of shooting a lot of babies lately, and I'm loving it!!  Must be something in the water around here right now, because they were all born around the same time :).  I loved spending time with this family - check out a few of my favorites (and by the way, if the photo of the dog and the baby doesn't make you want one of each, then you have a serious problem :).

Happy Monday all!
