Someplace in Time/Manhattan Baby Photographer

Today I took pictures of my very first baby bloomer family.  This means that I will get to see this sweet little guy every few months and will get to watch him grow and change.  This is very exciting to me because normally I do pictures for a family and I may see them here and there but I don’t get to watch their babies really change into who they are going to be.  This little guy is almost 3 months old and momma had really wanted some newbornish pictures.  I was really worried that we weren’t going to get anything close, but man, I was so wrong!  We got some really adorable sleeping pictures.  And um, their apartment is like nothing I have ever seen.  It was so beautiful!  It made me not ever want to go back to my own little rinky dink apartment!  I’m just a tad jealous.  😉  So I am exhausted today and was just going to put one or two pictures up but once I got started editing, I couldn’t stop!  I just love all of their pictures.  The mom had some really great ideas!  I love it when parents are creative like that!  Thank you guys.  I had such a great evening with you and I can’t wait to see you in 3 months!

Check out this ultra cool mirror that mom wanted to incorporate into the pictures:  “Someplace in Time”

I didn’t tell mom and dad that I got this shot while they were off getting something in another room.  Thought it would be a cute surprise.  🙂

This bed was made by the dad’s grandfather!  Priceless!

Loved, loved, loved this door!

Mom ordered this little pear outfit for the session.  Oh my!!!!  So adorable!

And I had to get a picture of me and my new mode of transportation.  I used to load up the back of my SUV to get all of my stuff to my sessions in Austin.  Baby sessions require a ton of stuff.  Once I moved here, I didn’t know what I was going to do!  Cab?  Subway?  How?  Well, this is how it’s done ladies and gentlemen!  lol  Welcome to the Big Apple!  😉

The Princess and the Frog/Manhattan Child Photographer

This morning I did 2 year birthday pictures for this sweet little thang!  Her momma is in a playgroup that I started.  I met her through a different playgroup when I first moved to NY and she sent me the absolutely nicest email.  She has been so helpful to me.  I’m lucky to have met her and her beautiful little family!  I see a strong friendship about to start up.  😉  Her daughter was so easy!  All I had to do was bust out my handy dandy little frog and she was laughing and smiling.  Thank you guys for hanging out with me in this awful heat!!  Have a great trip to Phoenix.  NY will miss you while you are gone!  And happy birthday sweet little girl!

Poor thing, it was really hot, as you can see:

My First NY Session: Manhattan Family Photographer

I did my first New York session this morning.  I have to say I was a bit nervous.  I’m not even sure why!  This mom and her 2 children are in the playgroup that I started here.  I clicked with them immediately after meeting them.  I love when that happens!  I feel like I’ve known them for so much longer!  I had a great time with them this morning.  I did learn that doing sessions here in the city is much more different than in Austin.  There are lots of people everywhere and you’re always in their way.  lol  Oh well, I guess that is something that I will have to get used to.  Maybe I should start wearing a bright orange vest when doing sessions so that people don’t plow right over me.  😉  Thank you guys for hanging out with me this morning! I hope that the little guy gets to feeling better!

This was after we were all packed up and were getting ready to leave.  I love this one of dad and his little buddy just hangin out.  🙂

Central Park

This morning we took Mya to Central Park just to walk around.  We love it there.  It’s just so peaceful and beautiful!  Mya had so much fun, a little too much fun!  She was ready for her nap about an hour early while we were still there having a picnic.  Glad she was able to make it back to the apartment without too much of a meltdown! Please excuse her sweaty hair!  The girl is a sweat machine!   Tomorrow I have a session with a family that I’m very excited about!  So there will be a break from all of the Mya pictures!  😉

Got My Fix

So not having anyone booked for sessions in June is killing me!  I am in love with photography and when I’m not working, I just feel like a drug addict without my drug!  😉  I also love looking at other photographer’s sites.  Yesterday during Mya’s nap, that’s what I did, caught up on my favorite photographer’s sites.  Of course looking at their work just made me even more miserable to not be working so when Mya got up I took her down the street and took some pictures of her.  Ahhh, much better.  😉
