Flying 1st Birthday Photos — Mason

Wednesday, January 31, 2018

Mason’s Airplane Themed 1st Birthday Session

Handsome Mason recently flew into the studio for some airplane themed 1st birthday photos. (He didn’t do a cake smash, but this new theme can certainly be used for those!) Mason’s pilot hat and scarf were adorable as well as cozy, and he looked precious sitting on top of the brown vintage suitcase. The toy planes and clouds around him plus the painted ones in the backdrop really gave this shoot some nice dimension. Oh, the places you’ll go, Mason!

Look at that tongue! I can’t decide if I prefer the shots with his tongue sticking out, or the ones that show off his two little bottom teeth!

We brought out the distressed turquoise chair to mix it up a little and let him show off his standing. So big!

We got the scarf to fly — whee!

I just love little boys in overalls …

… or nothing at all! *heart eyes*

1st Birthday photo sessions take place in my Cranford, NJ studio, and include 40-50 fully final images. In addition to the airplane themed 1st birthday photos featured here, I’m also excited to offer the following other themes, many of which work well for both boys and girls: sailing, hot air balloons, carnival, unicorns, “Down on the Farm,” Bohemian flowers, Bohemian “Wild One” with arrows, “Where the Wild Things Are,” music, Cookie Monster, Mickey Mouse, lavender fields, carousel, Paris, ballerinas, blue stars, angel and clouds, and woodland animals. You can even just pick a color scheme, and we’ll roll with that!

London and Leila | Child Holiday Photos with Vintage Red Truck

Coming Soon: Child Holiday Photos with Vintage Red Truck

2017’s Child Holiday Photos with Vintage Red Truck sold out in minutes and were such a success, we will be offering them again this holiday season!

I’ve been capturing these two beauties, London and Leila, since they were newborns. Their darling plaid capelets and shiny red boots perfectly complimented the set, and they just beam with sisterly love. They had so much fun climbing into the truck and popping out the window. It won’t be long until they’re actually driving! (sniffle)

A special thank you goes out to Stacey from Toys with Love for her beautifully restored vintage truck. We had such a wonderful time working together and capturing these festive images. The location is 30 minutes outside of Cranford in beautiful Bedminster, NJ. The set, filled with fresh holiday greens flown in from Washington State, highlights the traditional colors of the holiday. (The 2018 set will have fresh new props but a similar cozy vintage feel.)

Isabella and Mushy | Vintage Red Truck Holiday Sessions

Coming Soon: Vintage Red Truck Holiday Sessions

2017’s Vintage Red Truck Holiday Sessions sold out in minutes and were such a success, we will be offering them again this holiday season!

Ah, a girl and her dog … Isabella in her red cardigan and Mushy with her white fur looked perfect with this set! Aren’t Isabella’s curls absolutely gorgeous? She loved twirling and curtsying in her gray and silver skirt, and I’m obsessed with how it ties in with the chrome parts of the truck. This snuggly duo is just picture perfect.

Alessandra Juliet | Newborn Baby Girl Photography

Wednesday, January 24, 2018

Meet Alessandra Juliet — this newborn baby girl gave me quite a workout during her session! She could be a future CrossFit girl like her mama, who is one of my CrossFit coaches. We didn’t put sweatbands on her just yet though — how sweet does she look in lace and pearls?

I have so many adorable headbands, flower crowns, bonnets and blankets for newborn baby girls, I could spend all day trying different combinations. I just want to smush Alessandra’s cheeks in the shot with the mint green headband and white blankets!

We also created a snowy woodland scene for this winter angel. I love how Alessandra looks so peaceful, it’s almost like she’s floating. Congrats, Katie, Everson and big brother Cameron. She’s a beauty, and she’s strong too! Just perfect.
