Sam Turns 3 | Jersey City NJ Children Photographer

Norah visited out studio to celebrate her 1st birthday with a photo shoot without her big brother Sam, so I couldn’t wait to meet him by the time his 3rd birthday rolled around a few months later.  I love how a 3 year old’s  personality comes out and how crazy cute their voices are when they stringing little sentences together.  And this is the age when boys start going from adorable to handsome!

…okay nevermind, Sam is still friggin’ adorable.

Mischa + Max | Jersey City NJ Children Photographer

All our holidays orders are just about packaged and delivered and now it’s time to start celebrating an amazing year!  I’m excited to take the next few weeks to share my favorite shoots that I haven’t had a chance to post in the last couple months.

For example…Mischa (7) and Max (3)!  Between the amazing wardrobe courtesy of mom Cara, the crisp air and piles of fall leaves in Hamilton Park, every shot was a favorite!  Love these gorgeous kids!!

Ted & Frank | Jersey City NJ Newborn Photographer

Wow I can’t believe it’s been so long since my last post.  I feel so lucky to be surrounded with so many beautiful babies and children to photograph!

I had to post this session of newborn Ted and his big brother Frank (2) because, well look at them… the camera is in love with them!!  Frank was asleep in the stroller at the beginning of the session, so I got to have a little one-on-one time with Ted in all his perfection.  The hair, the smile, the baby skin!  I was already in heaven…and then Frank woke up completely camera-ready with his blonde locks and bright blue eyes.  Most gorgeous brothers ever!

Happy 2nd Birthday Thor! | Jersey City NJ Children Photographer

In honor of Thor turning the big 2-point-0, we had a little photo shoot that took us from the studio to Hamilton Park. Mom and dad are also a couple of our best friends so it’s always a special treat to photograph that sweet face!   (Seriously, I love his baby portraits so much, they have graced everything from the entrance to our studio to our note cards.)  I can’t believe he’s already such a big boy!  Love watching this sweet kid grow up in front of my lens.  Happy 2nd Birthday Thor!!!

 

Saint Cyr | Jersey City NJ Children Photographer

I was really excited for this session from the get-go.  I was already enamored with mom Leah’s fine art photography and so thoroughly enjoyed conceptualizing this shoot with her.  (Leah’s the kind of photographer who not only creates incredible photographs, but powerful imagery that transcends words.  She’s also an associate professor at Rutgers which just made me all nostalgic for my nerdy days in grad school.  You can view her work here – http://leahdevun.com.)  All that aside, she and Macauley have the cutest 2.5 year-old boy ever and had Saint Cyr all dressed to the nines with an outfit from Zara – which we agreed has the most amazing kids’ clothes.  Such a gorgeous family!
