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.

One Year Old Rhyan | Long Island Baby Photographer | September Blue Photography
Another little cutie I’ve been photographing since she was born… I love her seriousness.
Surrounded by Love | Long Island Maternity Photographer | September Blue Photography
That’s what Stephanie named her sneak peek when she got it and posted it on Facebook. I thought it was a perfect fit. My new favorite family image. I want to capture lots more like these this summer. The rest of her maternity session was just as lovely, with her beautiful daughters just lighting up the images and her tiny little belly and beautiful glow doing the rest.

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.
Photo Contest Winner | Long Island Family Photographer | September Blue Photography
If you were a Facebook fan last year you may remember I hosted a photo contest where fans submitted photos and got their friends and family to vote for them to win a free session with September Blue. Well, the cutie in the tutu stole the show and won the contest!
I was thrilled when C & C won this contest … I had photographed a maternity and newborn session for them already so we were very excited to plan this session for Kira’s First Birthday. We booked Westbury Gardens for the shoot months in advance. A special location was definitely in order. We started planning outfits way in advance and boy do I have to hand it to Kira’s mommy … I thought I was detailed with the links and guidelines and suggestions I send my clients when putting together a session wardrobe. But C – you get 1st prize for sending me Powerpoint slideshows of ideas – I LOVE it. Not even kidding.
I have to admit that it was really, really cool to see Kira again and to get to photograph her at 1 year old. And by really, really cool I of course mean a little sentimental. I mean, I photographed her in her mommy’s belly, and then just a few days old as a newborn and then now, I got to photograph her as 1 year old… standing, laughing, babbling… and very much her own little person.
Her Mommy is stunning…
And Kira is definitely Daddy’s little princess (check out the toe grab – too cute!)
Just a stunning family…
Going through this session and choosing which ones to blog made me realize – it’s time for another contest!!! I had so much fun doing this one last year and it was so nice to see it all come to completion with this session. Sooo, it’s already in the works. All I will say for now is that no photo will need to be submitted this time around – all I want is to hear from YOU! You won’t even have to work hard for this one, it’s going to come naturally. Details coming soon so stay tuned. I’ll be announcing the details in full on the blog (maybe on my birthday? Hint: I am a Virgo.) so keep an eye out here – twitter followers and facebook fans (links up top) will get a heads up! Back to baby Kira…
Like I said, I was so thrilled they won. When I did Kira’s newborn session, I quickly found out how much they both love photography. They showed me all these beautiful images of their lives; memories that were captured by lucky photographers like me, that were treasured by this family – organized into beautiful albums and wall displays. It’s always a pleasure to meet someone as appreciative of photography as you are but to see it the way they treasured their memories made me so happy to be their photographer. I am honored that my images of their lives’ milestones get to be part of those albums and wall displays. And I was more than a little envious of their organization skills in that area, quite honestly. 
Congrats again guys!!

Golden Hour | Long Island Child Photographer | September Blue Photography
With the warm hazy sunshine of the hour just before sunset bathing them in beautiful, soft, golden light – Bella & Jacob stole my heart during this session. It’s a little bittersweet to post this session just as Labor Day weekend approaches – the unofficial goodbye to Summer – because this session captures all that is the warmth and carefreeness (yeah, it’s a word – I checked) of the season.
This was one of, if not the first frame of the session. Ok, off to a good start. A really good start.
Can I keep her?
Bella and I became good friends if you couldn’t tell… this is sort of an outtake – one of the cutest white balance shots I’ve ever captured… the sunflare is so dreamy and summery here…we got lots of shot like this.
But I also loved the variety we were able to get at this location… here’s little brother Jacob…
I don’t remember exactly what happened here – we played lots of games during our session as is usually the case when I’m working with kids… we play & laugh a ton. But I love her expression here…
OK, I could seriously just go on and on with this session so here is a collage… it tells the story of our session in a little more detail. Custom photography tends to lend itself to storyboards, collages, and cohesive wall displays. Often the story of your session – and the moments of childhood captured at that time – is best told by displaying several images together in either an album or wall display.
Ahhh…to be her in this moment… taking that deep breath of ocean air, feeling that cool breeze in my hair, not a care in the world… all our Summers should feel like this… hope you enjoyed yours. If you didn’t do this yet – get out there and do it!
Still So Lovely | Long Island Baby Photographer | September Blue Photography
Last year, about this time (give or take a month), I had the pleasure of photographing my friend’s long awaited newborn baby girl. To this day, her session is still one of my best lit newborn sessions… I walked in to the house to find a sunroom just bathed in warm, beautiful natural light. I was in heaven. Before I knew it, we were planning her 1st birthday session… we were all about the location. In the meantime, beautiful baby Annabella was developing a little aversion to grass. Yes, grass. Did not want to touch it, have her bare feet on it, lay on it with a blanket - nothing to do with it. So what? She’s a baby – it’s new, it’s green, it’s itchy, there’s dirt under it - quite frankly, I don’t blame her for not loving grass at first sight. So we found a gorgeous location that gave us lots of beautiful backdrops… sans icky grass. And she was a happy girl.
Check out the daintily pointed toes – how adorable is that?
Did I mention her handsome big brother was there too?
Such a ham…
One for the wall…
A personal favorite… she was so exhausted after a long day of modeling…can you blame her for knocking out like this? =)

Beachy Keen | Long Island Family Photographer | September Blue Photography
A fun family beach session to share today… getting outdoors in the summer sun, with a cool ocean breeze and their adorable toddler. Family beach sessions don’t get old for me… especially with a family this fun. Check him out in that last shot – he is positively soaked! They had been playing in the surf, jumping waves, and just plain goofing off. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

Brother & Sister | Long Island Baby Photographer | September Blue Photography
So happy to finally share this session with you … meet Mac & Peyton: brother and sister, about a year or so apart. I love seeing siblings this close together in age because you just know how close they are going to be growing up together. Mac was so adorable, grabbing a hold of my hand almost right away, we ran off to play together and had a blast during this session. Mom joked with me about how he would’ve gone home with me. I loved capturing both their blooming little personalities.
Warning to future clients: I am currently obsessed with white – you will probably hear me recommend white something during your pre-session consultation - don’t know how long this will last, but I am just loving it…
I love, love a classic headshot. Crisp eyes with solid eye contact, a great smile – creamy bokeh in the background…. there is something so timeless about it…
And really, there aren’t much cuter things in this world than a baby grabbing toes… irresistible cuteness! But it’s her eyes that really draw me in here…
You can’t help but smile right along with him here…
Again with those eyes!
And finally – some sibling fun!
