Baby Love

I was lucky enough to photograph this gorgeous baby girl at 12 days old.


She was quite the newborn model.
Congrats S and E on the new addition to your family!

Big blue eyes...

Lucky me, I got to hang out with another cute boy today. He has gorgeous big blue eyes and is all boy, he was playing with his trucks and making 'boy' noises the entire session, so adorable:}


This image makes me very happy, I just love everything about it.

A sneak peek for J, S, and C...

This morning's session was so much fun, I was nervous about the weather but we were in luck and had a beautiful morning. I have to say that J was so excited about this photo session (it was her Mother's Day present), it was adorable and her excitement rubbed off on me! She put a lot of thought into wardrobe and had such great ideas for the session and it really paid off.

Without further ado, the sneak peek....


This image was love at first sight for me, as soon as I saw it on my LCD screen I knew I had a new favorite. It was J's idea to put C is his sling and Mom knows best because he was happy as a bug in a rug in there. A happy baby coupled with sweet light (hence the super sparkly eyes) is a winning combination:)


J, I hope you love these, I'll be in touch soon when your entire gallery is ready.

I have to run, my toddler is throwing his toys down the steps:-}
Until next time,

Cute guy...

I love my job, I get to hang out with cute guys like this...

Modeling Opportunities

***UPDATE***As of now (5 pm Thursday) I have lots of girl applicants and no boys, I NEED boys! Thanks to all who have contacted me and submitted photos, I will be getting back to you next week, in the meantime, if you know any boys, send them my way! Thanks, L***

I working on an exciting new project with Lu Hanessian, the author of "Let the Baby Drive: Navigating the Road of New Motherhood” (St. Martin's Press, 2004) and host of "Make Room for Baby” on Discovery Health Channel.

Lu is launching an exciting new product line called WYSH (Wear Your Spirit for Humanity), the products are adorable and convey philosophical parenting messages such as Trust Your Gut, Enjoy the Ride, and Put Yourself in My Booties. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the organizations dedicated to helping children and families thrive.

I will be photographing children wearing the products and I’m looking for models for the session.

I need models in the following categories:

Age 6-9 months,
Age 15-24 months, and
Age 3-5 years.

The photo shoot will take place in Cherry Hill, NJ during the weekend of May 31-June 1.
Saturday May 31 is the target date and Sunday June 1 is the rain date. Models must be available for both days. The photo shoot will take approximately 2 hours.

For their time, models will receive a complimentary 5x7 print and an item from the WYSH line.

If you are interested, please send your child’s age and a snapshot to:
