Momma spoke to my heart when she said, "I love all the neutrals and earth tones". YES! YESS!! Give me all the earth tones, please <3 Little Miss Scarlett got some serious fall vibes with a hint of girly in there. She was a perfect little princess for us- buckets and baskets, florals and crowns! I'll take it all, thank you. The whole thing ended with the most perfect reveal, too! Mom fighting the tears back and all! I have to say this journey of mine in the photography world has been nothing short of amazing. It's such a bless to be a part of people's lives- documenting their maternity sessions, then watching them as brand new parents at their newborn session and ending it by coming back to the studio, now experienced Moms and Dads, to see their baby has already changed. It all comes full circle and I'm incredibly lucky to witness it all! Thank you for choosing me, ya'll. Thank you.

Lacey contacted me for a Mommy & Me session, and was I ever so excited to see her name pop up on my screen! If anyone deserves to have a Mommy & Me session- it's the single Moms of this world, but especially, Lacey. Sweet, smiling, beautiful, Lacey. Always smiling! I swear to you, being a Mom is tough, but being a single Mom? Girl- I give you all the props in the world. It's a thankless job, and a tiring one at that. But this Momma wears it well. She's doing an amazing job with this sweet little guy! Shy at first, he warmed up quickly. He played, he laughed, and he even skipped around the sunflowers for me! I hope Momma treasures these photos forever. A little boy holding a Momma's hand.. it doesn't last forever and it all disappears so quickly. Treasure those moments, Momma. Hold them tight. Take the photos. You've heard me say it over and over again- hang them on the wall. You won't get these moments back again. Hudson Valley Photographer, Poughkeepsie New York photographer, Hudson Valley child photographer, Hudson Valley newborn photographer, Hudson Valley family photographer, Westchester New York photographer The end of summer is approaching and the Hudson Valley is in full-on sunflower mode. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have a session with these gorgeous flowers as a backdrop and I had the PERFECT family to do it with! (Side note: If you haven't checked out Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils- stop what you are doing right now, get in your car, and go pick some flowers. Seriously. It's basically the most amazing thing I've ever seen!) Now enter-> the cutest baby in the entire world! What was supposed to be a family session- basically turned into an, "all about little dude" session- #sorrynotsorry. He kind of stole the show. Whoops! The Lombardi family is sort of a fan favorite anyways- Momma came to me for her maternity session just about a year ago now, stealing the show and winning over my page fan's hearts with her knock out blue dress and glowing looks! The whole thing got to be almost quite stalker-ish, when people started recognizing her in public as, "that pregnant girl from Sarah's photos" (am I wrong, Maureen? HAH!). So here we are: 6 month old bub and his amazing, adoring parents! Literally, I am the luckiest photographer to have such amazing clients! Hudson Valley Photographer, Poughkeepsie New York photographer, Hudson Valley child photographer, Hudson Valley newborn photographer, Hudson Valley family photographer, Westchester New York photographer I tell everyone- "My favorite time to photograph- is at 6 months old. They're too little to crawl, but big enough to sit up & not run away from the camera!" Hence where a "sitter session" was born. This little man though-he had other plans for me. Me: "Mom, make sure you contact me as SOON as he's sitting up! There is a very fine line between sitting and crawling away!" Mom: "On it!" Mom: "He's just about sitting up!"..... "Ok, he's sitting up! We are ready!"... (3.2 seconds later..). "And... we're crawling". HAH! Seriously though- how does this happen so fast? Just like that- a little dude goes from a sitting duck, to guy on the move. I truly feel like it was yesterday that I was photographing his gorgeous Momma in her maternity gown. This smiling, sweet, adorable little guy, now zooming away from the camera. It happens fast ya'll. Treasure every minute of it. Hudson Valley Photographer, Poughkeepsie New York photographer, Hudson Valley child photographer, Hudson Valley newborn photographer, Hudson Valley family photographer, Westchester New York photographer I'm sorry guys- I had to do it. I know. Seriously- Holiday minis... already?! It's only September. But you and I both know, it can get violently cold quite fast here in the Hudson Valley. I'm so over these poor little babes with cold fingers and toes during their holiday photo shoots!!! Do us all a favor- book your holiday minis now. THEN, when everyone is scrambling to get their cards out- you look like Mother of the Year 2.0 Just saying. Book It!! Now.

I was walking into L & D to do a Fresh 48 and saw his Dad, whom I worked with, walk by. Dad demanded I come visit, meet Momma and this new little bundle of joy (who, FYI, as I remember, being NOT such a little bundle at all!). He. Was. Perfect! SO perfect, that now I demanded they let me take some Fresh 48 photos of him, which in turn, just so happened to open the door for me to do newborn photos and now, a 1st birthday smash! How lucky am I?! From little guy- to big boy now! He's grown from a chunky bub- to this playful little dude. I know Mom and Dad just see all the stars & sky in this little guy's eyes- he is the light of their life! Coincidentally- Mom and Dad are big shark week fans. BIG! It's serious business in their house. And little dude was born right in the middle of it. Cake smash decor was a no brainer...! He WRECKED that cake- tore it to pieces in true shark fasion ;-) Hudson Valley Photographer, Poughkeepsie New York photographer, Hudson Valley child photographer, Hudson Valley newborn photographer, Hudson Valley family photographer, Westchester New York photographer |
