Frogs & Snails & Puppy Dog Tails | Long Island Child Photographer | September Blue Photography
That’s what little boys are made of…
Liam was just awesome to photograph. Having two boys of my own, I’ve been told that I have a knack for capturing boys… this is going to be an image heavy post because not only was Liam so photogenic and fun, his session is a good example of how much variety you can get in an outdoor session.

Another little cutie I’ve been photographing since she was born… I love her seriousness.

I’ve been photographing this little boy since he was about 6 days old! You’ll see lots more of him in future posts!
Lacey | Long Island Baby Photographer | September Blue Photography
So sweet & pretty, Lacey was the melt-your-heart kind of one of year old session… Using the last image, we did a sign-in board for her first birthday party – a perfectly sized, digitally matted 20 x 20 so all her birthday guests could sign in – it was gorgeous!

Sweet Baby Ben… he had the most gorgeous skin and the most beautiful big sister. I had so much fun photographing him and his entire family - they were all so much fun!
A broken wrist, a quiet moment | Long Island Children’s Photographer | September Blue Photography
It meant I almost didn’t get to meet and photograph these two little superstars. E broke her wrist on the day of our scheduled shoot and would be in a cast for several weeks. I called E’s mom in between shoots that day to see how she was doing and sure enough, as kids tend to be, she was resilient and bouncing back already. So I got to see her and her baby sister a few weeks later for our mini session after all. And I am so glad I didn’t miss out on these two beauties.
By now you can tell that these girls have uh… been in front of a camera once or twice before. Their mama loves photos so they are naturals… they pose, they smile and bat their eyelashes on cue… a photographer’s dream. And then it’s time to capture the real deal. Oh, don’t think I don’t know it when I see it. I have kids too and I can spot the cheese smiles a mile away. But I snap away anyway… and I wait. I wait until I can find and draw out (if necessary) the genuine look. Sometimes I get real quiet during a session and I don’t say much at all. I imagine some parents might be thinking “uh-oh, something’s wrong! Is it not going well?”
That’s not it at all. Silence can work wonders sometimes. Sometimes you (well, I) just need to shut up and listen. We were wrapping it all up and I knew I didn’t have her yet. Not the her I knew I could capture anyway. Mom was busy packing up little sister and we spoke very softly, almost whispering. Then we had a quiet moment. And then…I snapped the last frame of our session.
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…
Holiday Mini Sessions | Long Island Child Photographer | September Blue Photography
Now that the holiday cards have all gone out and the custom photography gifts have been opened, I am happy to share my favorites from this year’s Holiday Mini sessions! Thanks so much to all those who signed up and gave me a chance to (hopefully) make their holiday images a little special this year. I welcome the challenge that mini sessions with young children bring… it really gives me a chance to hone my skills on getting those awesome expressions and connections without the stress and tension that typical holiday portaits are known for. It was a crazy day but such a fun day – and we got some priceless images from it… here are some of my favorites, in no particular order…

The Last One | Long Island Baby Photographer | September Blue Photography
The last beach session of 2010… I love beach sessions and especially those in late summer and early fall. The quality of light is really something else and these images make for amazing holiday cards. So unexpected, so inviting. Being only a month or two apart, Charlie reminded me so much of my own little Max with his mischievous little sparkle in his eye and his melt-your-heart smile. The only difference was, besides the gorgeous blond hair, the fact that I could actually get a shot (hey - many shots actually) of Charlie in crisp focus because he wasn’t constantly running at me demanding to be held (yes, that is why you don’t see many photos of Max on my site). Charlie’s little sister - 6 month old Ellie - was the cutest, not minding the sand or the wind, and posing happily for her photoshoot.
