Fabulous | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography
Loved this little newborn peanut! She let me try all sorts of great poses on her. And she was such a beauty (when you see her mama’s pic, you’ll see where she got part of her good looks from!)

I have to admit – I’ve been very lucky lately with some older newborns. This little 18 day old girl was awake for awhile but she was so content and alert that she was practically posing for me. I couldn’t get over it. She was staring right at me. Practically smiling… she was smiling with her eyes, I could tell 
Eventually she gave in and fell into a blissful sleep for some snuggly poses.

The IT factor | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography
When I first walk into a client’s home for a newborn session, there’s just one thing I’m interested in. The “IT” factor. Nope, not the furniture, not the decor. I’m looking for IT – the light. That beautifully soft, filtered natural light coming in at just the right angle in the just the right quantity. Quite honestly, not every house has IT. You’d be surprised – I’ve been in big beautiful LI homes that didn’t have much of IT and in small NYC apartments that had just the right amount of IT. Sometimes, it’s just a grey day and even the biggest window will let you down. But sometimes, all the elements come together and everything bounces and diffuses just right. On this day, the layers upon layers of snow on the ground combined with just the right amount of cloud cover made a South facing window a joy to work with. On this day, I didn’t curse the snow.
This is baby W, bathed in beautiful natural light, just 6 days old.
And this one – easily one of my favorite recent newborn images. Not just because it’s a departure from the usual beanbag/blanket stuff and the way the light falls over them. It’s the way his mommy is holding him…so natural, so relaxed… the look of pure content on this face, the tilt of Mom’s head as she looks down at her new baby… and then you notice her right thumb and that’s where you get a sense of just how tiny he is here. It more than beautiful light and a beautiful baby – it’s a sweet moment captured.
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…
18 days | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography
It’s true… I won’t deny it. MOST newborn sessions take place within the first 14 days of life and they are better for it. It has pretty much become the industry standard for a newborn session and rarely will you see a newborn session that looks like this when the baby is older. Why? Because when newborns enter their 3rd week of life, baby acne can start to show up… they tend to sleep less and are more alert and awake. Plus, they start to lose that newborn curl and some other classic newborn traits. So I strongly urge all my newborn parents to let me know as SOON as baby is on the way or has been born. Most put me on their call list of friends and family to let me know that baby has arrived. And I can’t tell you how much I have LOVED getting those emails or texts that say “we are on our way to the hospital to have the baby!” I feel like I’m part of it and how exciting is it to be waiting for a new baby to arrive?! Few things in life beat that…
Hmmm … where was I? Oh yes… newborn photography past 14 days of life usually doesn’t normally look like this. But… then every once in awhile there is a dream baby like baby G… and she will do everything that a 6 day old will do and more. (Actually, I’ve been super lucky lately and have gotten several fantastic “older” newborns…maybe it comes with the experience ) When Baby G’s mommy contacted me last minute I just happened to have an opening – I couldn’t say no…
We were SO excited when she gave us all these amazing poses. She was just a happy baby and it showed. Her mommy and daddy were just over the moon in love with her and that showed. It was one of the sweetest newborn sessions ever. And the really great thing about ”older” newborns is how nicely filled out they are…they are eating well and have started to fill out so they are plump and biteable. [It's a word, I just made it up] Here she is… gorgeous baby G!
And the shot that had me LMAO when editing this session… LOVE this!!

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…

Matthew was angelic. He had this serene, peaceful look about him for almost the entire session. A beautiful, content newborn for sure, with a lush head of hair that made me melt. Congrats again to the S Family – he is beautiful!
Anna & the Burrito | Long Island Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography
I photographed two Annas in the one month. This little beauty is one of them. I loved hearing this name on a newborn because you don’t hear it too often right now. I have about 113 aunts named Ana but they all go by their middle names (wonder why?) so even I don’t hear it that often anymore. It was a sweet and emotional session. I got to meet Anna’s grandparents just before they left for the airport after seeing their brand new granddaughter. You can imagine it was hard for them to leave her… who wouldn’t have a hard time flying away from this little sweetie….
Her grandmother makes these adorable bows and hair ribbons. Sorry – she doesn’t have an Etsy store or I’d point you to it!
I love that we got to take her outside… I think she loved it too. Her Dad mentioned that she seemed to already love the outdoors.
The burrito wrap. Some Dads just have that gift. They are better at swaddling than me even with all my swaddling experience. My kids never wanted to be swaddled so I didn’t learn it from them. I learned all my swaddling from newborn sessions and Dads like Anna’s. And so – one of my favorite shots of the whole session – Anna in her burrito wrap.
