Catch up with Arabella and Walt

I still have some sessions from 2012 that I didn’t get a chance to post yet. Even though all of these clients have seen their images, it’s always nice for anyone who’s curious to be able to look through the blog and see all the kids I photographed represented. So, without any further ado, here are Arabella and Walt and their lovely parents!

Benjamin

When I first met Benjamin’s parents, they described their little guy as a super smiley baby. On the day of our session, it was clear he wasn’t his usual cheerful self and we decided to call it quits a bit early. His mom told me later that he spiked a high fever shortly after we wrapped up. Even though I knew we captured some lovely pictures of him that morning, I didn’t want mom and dad looking back at the images only to be reminded of how sick Benjamin was that day. So I came back a couple of weeks later for a redo. Sure enough, he proved to have one of the best smiles of any baby I’ve ever photographed with a huge grin in every single picture. Actually the selection of images below are a mix from both the first and second takes, but I don’t think anyone but mom, dad, and me can tell which ones are from the day he wasn’t feeling well.

It was with great excitement and joy that I finally got to spend time again with my dear friend and her adorable 4-month-old baby boy, both of whom I had not seen since he was about a week old. We’d been planning to do a photo session together since before he was born and we wanted to wait until it was warm enough to keep him outside comfortably. I don’t make it home to New York City very often anymore so our opportunities have been few and far between. As luck would have it, the weather didn’t cooperate and we only had about 20 minutes of shooting time. On the other hand we got to spend several hours just hanging out and being together (which was not nearly enough time). Luckily, I’ll have many opportunities in the years to come to make more images of him starting with another session in the next few months when he’s able to sit up on his own. Love you, Faryu!!!

I’m finally back online after a power surge blew out my internet during the crazy thunderstorms last weekend. Sophia’s parents have been waiting patiently to see their sneak peek, so without any further ado, here she is! Enjoy!

Baby Doll

What can I say? Is she cute or is she cute? Baby M was so easy going that we managed 3 or 4 outfit changes, lots of smiles and barely any fuss. And at the end, she declared us done by laying down on the couch and promptly falling asleep before I could even pack up my camera bag.

Ameer!

After photographing mom, dad, and big brother a couple of months ago, I was thrilled to finally meet baby Ameer. It’s always an honor to be able to capture newbies during the fleeting stage in their lives. Thanks Sarah, Zaid, and Gibran for allowing me to share this special time with you!

Gabriel and Sofia

The last time I saw Gabriel, he was probably no more than 4 months old. His mom Sara and I met at the Breast Feeding Center when our sons were infants. Now, more than two years later, it was nice to get reacquainted and also, to meet little sister Sofia. Like many second children that I’ve photographed, she was super mellow and even tolerated some chilly weather so we could get some nice outside images.

Lucy

Presenting the lovely Lucy with sparkling blue eyes. It was a pleasure to meet her and her parents. Keeping this post short, but sweet since it’s after midnight. Enjoy!

Nirvaan

Julie — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 01:48:40 +0000

Nirvaan, whose name is Sanskrit for “ultimate bliss,” was 10-days old when I photographed him and his parents last week. He has a most impressive shock of spiky punk rocker black hair and likes to sleep with his arms above his turned head. Both awake and asleep, he was peaceful throughout our entire photo session.

Lauren

I had the pleasure to photograph Lauren and her family on Friday. At just under two weeks old, she was already starting to become more alert and awake, but with mom, dad, and grandma’s help, we managed to coax her to sleep to capture some images of her getting some beauty rest. It was nice to meet you all and share this special time with you!
