landon. so sweet & new. (newborn photography) | long island new york in home newborn photographer | grace photography

judging by the images, you would never think in a million years that this little guy gave me a run for my money.

he was so great, but just preferred to be awake.

fine with me. I document on a realistic level, and let them lead.

when Landon slept, we went with it. when he was awake, we went with that too. ;-)

mom and dad had me cracking up the entire session too, they were so great to work with. I also had a mentoree by my side helping out, which was fantastic. now I’m spoiled and feel like I need an assistant. Thanks Sylvie! ;-)

you will also notice that perhaps dad is a bit of a sports fan. I only incorporate props into my sessions if they are personal, and dad really wanted shots with the baseball and football. safe to say this kid will probably be watching the games with dad in no time!

also? his room. swoon.

like my last session, mom did all the designing herself. fantastic and vibrant and perfect. LOVED incorporating his room!

this session’s family pics also made me teary (basically I am like this with every mushy newborn session…always humbled to be a part of this dynamic) as they were so sweet with him.

seriously, don’t cry when you see the pics. can’t say I didn’t warn ya! ;-)

he was super cool. perhaps it helped that he shares  a birthday with my youngest child? ;-)

his room had such style, and the fact that everything right down to the bedding was MADE by mom just added to the element of “cool”.

this is their first baby, and something about parents (I may have spoken about this in another post) and their interaction with their first born just really chokes me up.

you are extra gentle, you jump at every coo, and so much attention to detail.

while I shot their family pics, I paused and gazed at their affection they had for each other and their new child.

just for a moment.

just enough to allow myself to feel their energy. just so I could guarantee I’d grab that energy, and freeze it in a photographic story. Please, pause at their family pics in this post, you will feel it too.

this session was long, and the light was tough, but it may have been one of my all time favorite newborn sessions.

thank you for that.

this may have been my easiest newborn session yet. this little face never woke up. maybe he took a peek or two at me here and there, but went right back to sleep. he was very cozy and content. even with his doggies. i do basic posing at my sessions, utilize the client’s bed for [...]

    Sweet Charlie boy. When I first met him I thought to myself, “oh my he is so handsome!” His big brother Max was so excited to show him off to me, and I must say, he was a very cooperative toddler! Charlie was a little fidgety one, but such a mush, never cried, [...]

I have a new love. birth photography. standing alongside an entire family during the birth of a child, is an unexplainable feeling. humbling. the fact that mom is someone that I have grown very close to within the past two years and  has also witnessed the birth of my second child makes even better. no [...]
