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…

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.

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!

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!

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?  =)

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!

Empire State of Mind | NYC Newborn Photographer | September Blue Photography

Born exactly on his due date, in true New Yorker style, Baby O granted me the honor of photographing his 6th day of life with barely a protest, wimper or complaint.  He was a sweet little angel, sleeping peacefully and giving us these beautiful captures.  I tell you… day 6 of newborn life is magical….  =)
