Brand New Twin Brothers Steal Photographer's Heart! Newborn Photography South Orange NJ

In-Home Newborn Photography Session - TWINS!

The only thing better than one brand new Baby Boy is TWO brand new Baby Boys! I got to snuggle and photograph twin brothers James and Blake after they arrived home and the family was starting to settle into their new routine.

Posing two babies instead of one certainly comes with a few challenges but the twins were good sports throughout the session, and I was able to pose them in the natural light in their nursery. It was so amazing to see how they were cozying up to each other and kind of naturally posing themselves. With just a little bit of gentle posing, they slept snuggled to each other most of their session.

Workshop Announcement | Mama Takes Great Photos | Babies Under 10 Months Old

NJ Photography Class for Moms: Take Better Photos Of Your Baby

Join me for this 90-minute Mommy and Me workshop and learn how to take amazing photos of your Baby!

Our Babies are super cute and growing way too fast! Documenting these precious days is something you’ll never ever regret! And because you are (most likely) the dedicated day-to-day Baby photographer in your household, wouldn’t you want to learn some secrets from a professional newborn and child photographer?

No fancy equipment is required for this workshop because this is not a learn-how-to-use-your-camera kind of class. Instead, I’ll be sharing tips, mistakes to avoid, and some of my pro tricks with you while you use your camera-enabled smart phone for your practice shots. Of course, most principles can be applied to photos taken with any other camera.

This workshop will be broken down into two parts:

1. Baby-”free” learning session*

2. Hands-on practice with your Baby

*A babysitter will be available to assist with babies while you learn :)

I know how challenging it is to stay focused on learning with your LO in the room, so I will bring in a babysitter and provide a safe playroom for your babies to explore and enjoy while we focus on the first part of our workshop.

This event will be held in my home. I will follow up with the exact location and more details closer to the workshop date.

Date: March 2, 2019

Please note:

• this specific workshop is limited to Babies who up to 10 months old (non-walkers)

• there’s a 4 participant minimum for this class to run

• limited to 7 moms

• In case of inclement weather or my illness, I will work with the entire group to reschedule

Welcome Baby Alexandra! - West Orange NJ Newborn Photographer

In-Home Newborn Photography Session in West Orange NJ

I got to meet and photograph this West Orange NJ family after they welcomed Baby Alexandra into their family.

These sisters were adorable but Baby Alexandra absolutely refused to sleep for most of her newborn photos… And that’s okay! As a newborn photographer, I do come across some babies who have a tough time settling, for various reasons. Babies go through so many adjustments in their first days, and it’s completely okay for them to be awake when I arrive.

My approach to newborn photography is baby-led and in cases like this, I start with family and sibling poses before setting up any solo shots of the newborn. I find that many babies will settle and eventually get tired enough to fall asleep.

Because I photograph most of my family portraits with swaddled babies, new parents are often amazed at my swaddling techniques and cannot believe how easily their fussy newborn settles. And I agree that swaddling abilities are a very important factor when hiring a newborn photographer. You do want a professional who has the proper knowledge, training and experience with newborn safety, wrapping and posing. It makes all the difference in the outcome of your session and keeps your baby safe during their photoshoot.

Baby Alexandra eventually started dozing off as her sister held her - so sweet :)

Welcome Baby Juliet | Newborn Photographer Maplewood NJ

Lifestyle Newborn Photography Session in Maplewood NJ

Baby Juliet was 14 days new when I got to meet her and capture some moments from her first days in this world. Juliet and her family, including their pup Pickles, were superstars during our session.

Juliet entered this world weighing in at 8 pounds, such a cute little bundle of joy! Watching mom and dad doting on their new baby is one of the greatest sights to witness as a newborn photographer. Juliet’s mom had some adorable outfits and head bands she wanted to use and baby girl didn't mind one bit. 

Juliet woke up a few times during her session demanding food but, after having a bit of milk, settled right down into cozy slumber and slept through most of my setups. 

It was such a pleasure to capture Baby Juliet and her adorable family!
