Long Island Maternity Photographer/A Rustic Maternity Session

As much as I love doing in studio maternity photo sessions, taking maternity photos outdoors can also provide for beautiful pictures. It can also provide a variety of backdrops. This couple contacted me looking for a casual and rustic fall themed shoot. The day of their session arrived and the weather was really unpredictable. There was no rain in the forecast, however, it was raining in certain areas and not raining in others. As I was driving to meet them I was almost about to cancel the shoot. Fortunately the couple agreed to meet me at another location and we were able to still have the session. :o)

I absolutely loved the simplicity of their outfit choices. I loved Mama’s cowboy boots to!

Here are some of my favorites from their session.

Long Island Family Photographer/Family Photos

Summer is over and it is time to start thinking about taking those fall family photos. The year certainly went by quick. Fall is not the only time to take family photos. Even though the leaves turn pretty colors and the weather is crisp and cool, some people prefer to take them during the summer when the kids are off from school, the days are warm, long and everything is green and there are some opportunities to capture some beautiful sunsets. I think that every season has to offer something special and that it is important that a family just have professional photos taken in order to preserve their legacy for their children.

I recently had the opportunity to take family photos for my dear friend Olga and her family over the summer. Olga is also a photographer located in the Fort Mill, SC area. I highly recommend her so if you are from the area in need of family photos yourself. You can check out her work here.

As a photographer, Olga is usually so busy taking photos of her clients so she isn’t used to being in front of the camera. She does however, understand the importance of having family photos taken and wants to have photos of herself with her family. It was certainly a privilege to be able to take these beautiful family photos of her so that she now has these memories not only for herself, but for her children as well.

When was the last time that you have had professional family photos taken? Book your family photos session today so that you can exist in photos for your children and your grandchildren.

Long Island Child Photographer/Flushing Photo Session

Long Island Child Photographer/Flushing Photo Session

Even though I know that it is winter there are so many great children’s photo sessions that I have not had a chance to write about. Take this one for example. I am not sure how I even missed featuring this one. It was such a fun session and I absolutely loved this little girl’s orange coat. When I saw it I was so excited. It is so perfect for a Long Island and New York City fall photo session! The color went absolutely perfect with the environment and the fall foliage at Flushing’s Kissena Park. We were also fortunate that it was fairly mild and not that cold. It’s always a good idea to try to get fall photo sessions taken in October or early November since it starts to get a lot colder in the later part of November. I find that most kids are just not as comfortable being outdoors in the cold. Of course every now and then you get a few exceptions. :o) I am sharing some of my favorite photos from this fabulous session. Don’t you just love these photos? I would love to hear what you think.

Long Island Children’s Photographer/Fall Family Sessions

Long Island Children’s Photographer/Fall Family Sessions

Here is one of my favorite fall family sessions of 2014. I absolutely loved this photo session with Lucas. Lucas, a typical two year old child was so much fun to capture. He is such a happy go lucky little boy. He was just all smiles throughout the session despite the chilly day. He played with the pumpkins and even posed with his mommy and daddy for a few family photos. I always love to include the parents in the photos, they are usually my favorites. I love the laughter, the smiles and the little giggles in between the shots. I know as adults it’s all about capturing our children, but it’s just as important to exist in these photos as well. It’a part of your family history and legacy and someday your children will appreciate the fact that you were in the photos with them. After Lucas finished posing for his photos, he got a lollipop, a well deserved treat for being such a good boy. :o) I got a few more shots of him as he started posing for me with his lollipop.

Lea/NYC Child Photographer/Irene Bella Photography

A couple of months ago, I had an opportunity to photograph a child photo session in Queens, NYC. It was a warm day in late October and the leaves were already changing colors. I generally like to take fall sessions in late October until mid November. It usually is the peak of the fall foliage season and the weather is still not too cold for the little ones. We picked a location near my client’s home and it was absolutely perfect! It just goes to show you that sometimes simple locations near your home can have much to offer and that a photo session needs not to get complicated, especially where children are concerned. Lea, chose many pretty outfits for her session and she wanted to wear them all! She was quite the little poser as well. Even though she was a little tired at the start of the session, she started to have some fun and we got some nice pictures.

Here are some of my favorites from the session:
