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.

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…
Beach Boy | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography
It was a cool October day when I walked into the warm and toasty apartment where baby T lives. It was bathed in light from huge floor to ceiling windows and I did cartwheels in my head over the beautiful light. The apartment warm and toasty because that’s what you need for a good newborn session (warm baby = happy baby) and T’s mom & dad followed my advice. They were ready to go. From the first pose to the last, this session was nothing short of awesome. I loved Mom & Dad’s ideas and better yet – sweet baby T let us try them all!
This was one of the first few frames:
After all those awesome poses, he goes and does this… as if to say, “Oh, you didn’t get one with my eyes open yet, here ya go.”
And then went right back to sleep to make sure we could get this for his Daddy.
And of course this… because Daddy is a beach lover and surfer… Think this boy is going to make his Daddy proud? I’m sure he already has.
Thanks so much to the L family for a great session, and to Cathy for the pullback shots (which I can’t find right now! Grrr!)

It was October…not Red October, but we were on the Hunt for a great shot. The Sum of All my Fears was not getting one but with a sweet 4 day old, born into a VERY good looking family there was no Clear and Present Danger of not capturing gorgeous images of this little boy and his family. Meet Jack Ryan. Yes, I’m a dork, and yes, I love his name.
Sigh….wish I had an image like this with one or both of my boys…

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.
Big Sister To Be | Long Island Maternity Photographer | September Blue Photography
This adorable little peanut is now a big sister! This is 9 month old Anna, and her beautiful mama who – in these photos – was expecting Anna’s little brother. At the moment, we are getting ready for baby brother’s newborn session and I can’t wait to meet him. But here, it was Anna’s 9 month mini-session, along with a mini maternity.
Wait, did she just say mini session?
Yes, I did. Mini sessions are an option for my baby planners. What’s a baby plan, you ask? It’s special packages and offers for clients who want to do more than 2 portrait sessions in one year. You may not know that if you never contacted me for baby plan information. It’s perfect for baby’s first year, for multiple children, and it’s really, really easy, so email me if you have questions.
But there’s more to this mini session story… I will soon be offering mini sessions to my maternity clients. I’ve been working on some irresistible packages for maternity sessions and full details are coming soon.
In the meantime – I have to say, don’t you just want to hate on her pretty hair and beautiful eyes? And the dress… she just looks so effortlessly graceful and elegant here.
Congrats again to the F. family – I can’t wait to meet your new addition and to see Anna when she turns one – I’m so looking forward to watching your beautiful children grow!
Newborn Sweetness | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography
She got her girl. The sweet little newborn girl you see in these photos has a handsome and protective older brother. And her Mom, whose maternity session I had the pleasure of photographing, was so thrilled to be giving him a little sister. She slept and posed like a dream, and we were done in about 2 hrs.
Look at all that hair…
Soooo, I had hoped to be ready to announce the details of my new contest by yesterday (my birthday, btw =P ) but everything is not quite ironed out yet so I can’t. I can, however, tell you that like I said before - Twitter followers and Facebook fans will get a heads up on all the goings on. On the bright side, I did get to have both sushi and chocolate (but not together) for my birthday. This one below is an 11×14 for their wall…
There are definitely some interesting things going on with September Blue so stay tuned, I promise I am going to tweet more and FB more… I have lots of sessions to catch up on and tons of things I want to talk about and show you – on the blog, on FB… But for now, enjoy the rest of these images of this sweet baby girl.
It’s a small web | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography
I couldn’t believe my luck. Julie and I had planned our weddings together, essentially, through a wedding planning forum. She got married about a month before me. We ended up meeting for the first time at a mutual friend’s wedding (from the same wedding planning forum)…and now… many years later we see each other again…and I am photographing her 2nd and 3rd child – newborn twins. A beautiful baby boy and a beautiful baby girl. All the while, we stayed connected, in varying degrees, through the web. It’s a small world…er, web.
So anyway, when Julie told me she was pregnant with twins and that I was one of the first to know – I was honored and THRILLED for her. Plans for her newborn twin session were quickly underway. Before I knew it, (actually a more than a few days early), they were here – happy and healthy. Julie, please thank your SIL for me again for being a wonderful assistant and congratulations again on your beautiful babies – enjoy them! And even though you have a beautiful, sweet, and talented photographer in the family, I hope I get to see your adorable kiddies again soon!
