Babies and Boots [Summit NJ Newborn Photographer]

What a crazy few days. I’m late with the M family sneak peak because I had my own family drama to deal with. My 3 year old was jumping on a trampoline with her sister and some friends when one of them landed on her right leg. She was in serious pain so we took her to the emergency room to make sure that nothing was broken. We waited for four hours and the doc said the x-ray was clean. She still wouldn’t walk onĀ  it so yesterday I brought her to an orthopedic doctor and, after poking and feeling around, he determined that she had a small fracture somewhere. So she was fitted for a boot. Today was a little difficult at first. She still wouldn’t walk on it so I had to carry her everywhere. But, towards the end of the day, she was walking and hobbling along. She gets so proud of herself for walking. Poor baby. It’ll stay on for about 4 weeks.

Needless to say, I am a little bit behind. The M family was so gracious from the minute I walked in. I was greeted by Thomas and Sofie. Such sweet little kids. Then I got to meet baby Gabby. Another sweetheart. So calm and easygoing. I had a great time meeting everyone.

She was born 3 weeks early so I should have known she likes to do things on her own time. Miss Leila was a fighter today. Mom and I did everything we could to get her to fall asleep but she had other plans. We were at it about 90 minutes when she nodded off. Just enough time to get these. Sooo sweet!

Look at that gorgeous head of hair! And how great is her nursery? I love the design on the wall. Mom has great style though. She is the fabulously talented person behind Concepts in Bloom, a wedding planning service that is second to none. Check out her website and you can see some of her amazing work.

Thanks for all your help today Kathy. It was so great to see you and to meet your sweet baby girl.

It was just one of those days. As if 100 degree temperatures weren’t enough, the next door neighbor’s were having their shed knocked down during our session. We wanted to use the backyard but the noise was too much for little Noah. So we had to improvise and, in the end, it all worked out. Both Sophia and Noah greeted me warmly when I walked into their house. They called me nina, which mom said means little girl (if I remember correctly). They spoke Portuguese. What a beautiful language!

How beautiful is this little girl? And those curls?? Just like my Jaime.:)

And Noah has the best eyelashes. Why is it that the boys get ‘em.

I love these next two images. I know that most parents want to see their little ones smiling but there is something about a pouty face that just gets me. I have been really loving black and white lately (as you can probably tell) and these images were just perfect for it.

Saying Goodbye [Union County Family Photographer]

Tonight’s family session was a lot of fun (if only it wasn’t 100 degrees!) Actually, I was a bit nervous it was going to get rained out. The sun finally came out around 3:00 and things were looking up.

I met the B family at Cedar Brook Park in Plainfield. In a few short days they’ll be moving to Iowa, but before they say goodbye, they needed some family pictures. Dad is a pastor and he’ll be joining a new church in August. Both father and son were so good about being out in the heat. They did it all for their BEAUTIFUL mom. Doesn’t that color blue look gorgeous on her?

Good luck with your move B family. It was a pleasure to meet you and I wish you all the best on your new journey!!

Christmas in July [Holiday Mini Sessions]

I know, it’s waaay too early to start thinking about the holidays but believe it or not, I am already starting to book up.

FYI ~ The rest of the summer is booked. I am now scheduling sessions for September. I will be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as well as Saturday. I will not be working Sundays this year. I really need to set special time aside for my family. I hope you all understand. I already have quite a few Saturdays booked already into November so if you are interested in setting something up email me ASAP.

I will be offering holiday mini sessions this year on October, 16, 2010 as well as November 13, 2010. Mini sessions will be held outdoors as long as it does not rain. The rain date for both sessions will be the next day.

Here are the details …

Silver ~ $300 (includes 6 images on a CD) Book before September 3, 2010 and receive a $75 print credit.
Gold ~ $400 (includes all of your images on a CD) Book before September 3, 2010 and receive a $100 print credit.

The print credit can be used towards the purchase of cards or gift prints. Here are the designs you will be able to choose from.

* the cards shown above are just samples using past client images.

Each session will be 20 minutes. Mini sessions are ideal for up to 3 children or small families. Because of the limited amount of time, they are not ideal for large families. The times available are 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, 12:00. Depending on the response, I will add more times. In order to book one of the spots you will need to send in a $150 deposit. Deposits are non-refundable so just make sure you are available on that date and that time.
