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!)
