Sisters | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography

So it seems that little girls still want little sisters, regardless of how many sisters they already have.  These two were positively delighted to welcome the third baby girl to the family.  Can’t say that I blame them… after all we girls… well, we are pretty awesome.   While I have no biological sisters, I am lucky enough to have several cousins that I consider sisters as well as a few amazing sisters-in-law that I adore and would prefer to just to drop that pesky ”in-law” part.  So I can relate.  The more the merrier.  And there’s room for at least one more over here… just waiting for a certain someone to pop a certain question…  But back to these beautiful sisters….

Twins | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography

They arrived in early July… and here they are just 6 days old.  You might remember their Mama’s maternity session on the beach, it seems like the other day to me and before I knew it,  they were here!   Photographing newborn twins can be twice the work, but they are twice as fun and twice as sweet.   I love how they settle down to sleep so peacefully when their sibling is near.   Most of these were shot on the very same blanket that Mom  had wrapped around her in her maternit session…

 

 

 

And it’s so cool how, even at just 6 days old, they each have their own unique personalities…

 

 

One of my favorites from the session… that’s a little smile there…

Congrats again to the B family – you have a beautiful family!

Rhyan | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography

I photographed Rhyan’s big brother Aiden late last year for his 1st  birthday photos and that’s when I found out he was going to be a big brother this June.  Rhyan was a 12 day old beauty…slept like, well, a baby for almost the entire session.   And how could she not… the house had to be around 90 degrees without my heater going…. perfect for a newborn session.  =)    I always try to prepare my newborn session parents well before a session by letting them know the house has to be very, very warm.  I bring heaters with me but the house also needs to be warm.  I tell them that basically when the heat is just right, everyone will be a bit uncomfortably warm. Everyone except the newborn, that is. 

I have to start with this one…  this might be my favorite from the session.  Though I reserve the right to change that.  Dad had just gotten the tattoo…

Rhyan’s Mom and Grandma did a *little* shopping on Etsy ;)

 

They got so much cute stuff…this was the girliest girlie girl session ever so I had to break it out…yes, the newborn pettiskirt!

Okay maybe this is my favorite…  Congrats again K & S – she is beautiful!

And the winner is… | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography

And the winner is: Dean!   Well, actually, Dean’s mommy.  She won one of a few prizes I donated to the lifamilies.com Bridal Luncheon this year.   When I donated a complimentary newborn session – I had no idea it would go to someone already expecting – so I put an expiration date of 2011 on the gift certificate.  I was absolutely thrilled to find out it went to someone already expecting and very deserving.  J & V,  you are a lovely couple and now a beautiful new little family – congratulations again!

Noah | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography

Love his name.  Loved his chubbiness even more!  And his mom was tiny – you should’ve seen her!  They are such an adorable family and I loved hanging out with them while I captured their gorgeous new little boy.

The umbilical cord stump.  It’s the newborn tag….  Like when you go to the store and buy something new, you bring it home and it has the tags on it.   I see the  umbilical cord stump on an 8 day old baby and I think… wow… brand new… and there’s the proof.    There it is… a life… new, with tags. =)

A  clean, fresh process (my usual) paired with a black backdrop makes for a timeless image:

Look at those cheeks!

I love when newborns just relax into this pose… it’s so natural and candid… reminds me of the way my own babies slept when they were newborns.

So comfy and cozy…

A happy, sleepy newborn is always a goal for me at a newborn session but I love capturing a happy, calm, awake newborn… especially one with eyes like this – priceless!

Dillon | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography

I was so excited to meet baby Dillon.  I did his Mommy’s maternity session in January, when we were lucky enough to get a few flurries for her outdoor shots.   It was just so fitting that he was a Spring baby with those snowy Maternity shots!  Dillion definitely got his parents long, long legs.    He still curled up so adorably for me in my green wrap.  He ate and slept like a champ for his newborn session and with all that eating – we certainly had a few laughs over all the resulting…er…. incidents.  Dad got the brunt of it, but he handled it really well.  I always tell my newborn parents – the accidents are inevitable – I expect it and plan for it.   All we need to do is have some paper towels and wipes nearby, we handle it and move on.  After wiping away the tears of laughter, of course!  As you can imagine, I’ve got some pretty hysterical stories and most new parents can definitely appreciate and relate.   You won’t have to ask, I usually cheerfully volunteer to recount them! 

Anyway – again another shout out to Dillon’s Dad on this shoot – I absolutely loved the suitcases and other props (some of which Dillon was too big for!) that he had ready to go!

Five weeks early | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography

My jaw dropped when I opened the email that said “well,  my son came about 5 weeks early…”   I’ve gotten my fair share of early newborns but 5 weeks definitely wins the prize for earliest.   Baby C was a healthy 6lbs 4 oz at birth and as strong as any full term baby.  But he was putty in my hands, so cooperative, and a complete pleasure to photograph.   Congratulations R & T on your beautiful baby boy!

My husband and I went on a quick weekend getaway a couple of months ago to New Hope, PA.  We stayed at this excellent B&B and I picked up this vintage cranberry crate while exploring the local antique shops… it’s a new favorite for sure and Baby C was so awesome to let me try it for the first time.   It’s now my new gallery wrapped canvas sample (photo of that coming soon!)
