Anna turns one | Long Island Baby Photographer | September Blue Photography

The blog is going to go quiet for a few weeks very soon as I’ve actually started packing my bags (yay!) for my trip to Punta Cana for my cousin’s wedding where I’ll be the maid of honor.   I’m so excited and I can’t wait! Yes, there will be photos, I’m sure!  So anyway, yes there are no sessions on the books for February and I’ll be keeping my fingers tightly crossed that none of my March mommies go really really early.   In the meantime, I’m going to try and get caught up on quite a few sessions. 

This is Anna’s 1st birthday session.   We got so lucky because it was set to be a studio session with a chance for outdoor if the weather held out, and it did!  And we got some really BEAUTIFUL outdoor stuff…like really, really canvas worthy!  Isn’t she a gorgeous little girl?  This was my third time photographing her and I’ve loved watching her grow up over the past few months…

Loved her in my burgundy petti romper…

18 days | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography

It’s true… I won’t deny it.  MOST newborn sessions take place within the first 14 days of life and they are better for it.  It has pretty much become the industry standard for a newborn session and rarely will you see a newborn session that looks like this when the baby is older.  Why?  Because when newborns enter their 3rd week of life, baby acne can start to show up… they tend to sleep less and are more alert and awake.  Plus, they start to lose that newborn curl and some other classic newborn traits.   So I strongly urge all my newborn parents to let me know as SOON as baby is on the way or has been born.  Most put me on their call list of friends and family to let me know that baby has arrived.  And I can’t tell you how much I have LOVED getting those emails or texts that say “we are on our way to the hospital to have the baby!”   I feel like I’m part of it and how exciting is it to be waiting for a new baby to arrive?!  Few things in life beat that…

Hmmm … where was I?   Oh yes… newborn photography past 14 days of life usually doesn’t normally look like this.  But… then every once in awhile there is a dream baby like baby G… and she will do everything that a 6 day old will do and more.  (Actually, I’ve been super lucky lately and have gotten several fantastic “older” newborns…maybe it comes with the experience ;) ) When Baby G’s mommy contacted me last minute I just happened to have an opening – I couldn’t say no…

We were SO excited when she gave us all these amazing poses.  She was just a happy baby and it showed. Her mommy and daddy were just over the moon in love with her and that showed.  It was one of the sweetest newborn sessions ever.  And the really great thing about ”older” newborns is how nicely filled out they are…they are eating well and have started to fill out so they are plump and biteable.  [It's a word, I just made it up]   Here she is… gorgeous baby G!

Being One | Long Island Baby Photographer | September Blue Photography

Being one means you get to eat what you want, when you want, pretty much. Being one means you get to decide whether you feel like wearing shoes today… or not.  Being one means you are just starting to get your footing in this world and you have the bumps and bruises to prove it.  Being one means your personality is just starting to really shine through despite the stresses of teething, giving up a nap, and trying oh so hard to start that thing those big people call “talking”.   Being one means you are on the verge of learning the power of the tantrum.  Being one is so special… parents cherish it, family wants to see it, and everyone celebrates it.   This is Sophie, being one.
