Ivianna at 1 Month Old

Baby Ivianna has arrived. My good friends Dave & Shannon had Kim and I over to their home to photograph 1 month old Ivianna. We created some cool maternity portraits for them a little while ago so now it was time to photograph the beautiful baby girl. We had a lot of fun and it was actually a bit more challenging than I thought it would be. It was my first attempt at baby portraits so I didn’t quite know what to expect but I think we managed to get some good shots and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Once she fell asleep we were able to place her in a bunch of different poses and locations, even on the pool table! Thanks to Dave and Shannon for having us take their first child’s pictures. You can tell they are great parents already and they both seem so happy. On to a few of my favorite pics.

Megan Rudy and Vince Family Portrait

Megan contacted me on Facebook, she actually went to school with my sister. Megan said she was looking for a family portrait with a focus on her son Vincent. Here is an excerpt from the email she sent me. “I would really like some good candid shots. I feel like every picture that I have is posed and planned. I really want something different – just of us having fun and doing what we normally do.” I responded with an emphatic, “that’s exactly what I like to do” and we set up a day to shoot. Kim and I went to Megan and Rudy’s lovely house in Millville NJ on a beautiful sunny day after work. We started outside and I just asked Megan and Rudy to sit in the grass and play with their son Vince. They all seemed to have so much fun and Vince was perfect, he kept smiling and laughing and he seemed to have a great time too. We wandered into the house, took some photos there and then went back outside to get a good family group of the three of them and their super cute dog Lola. Thanks Megan and Rudy for inviting us into your house and for being such a fun family to hang out with, I hope you enjoy your pictures as much as we did taking them. Onto the photos.

What a face!!!

Poor Vince fell and he started to cry, but mom was there right to pick him up and he was smiling and laughing 2 minutes later

Family Portrait on the Beach

Yesterday afternoon Kim and I met Angela and Mike and their lovely daughter at a beach in Ocean City, NJ to photograph them all playing on the beach. Originally the weather was saying it was going to rain and possibly thunderstorm, but it turned out to be a perfect day on the beach. It wasn’t hot, the sun was out and there were barely any people on the beach at 5:30. This family was terrific also, they were all having fun and specifically their daughter was perfect. Every time I would ask the adults to look at the camera she was right there with them looking at the camera and smiling, It was really perfect. Kim was along as well and she got some amazing shots also (which are labeled below). You can really see how much fun they were all having and I think the baby’s smile says it all.
