Long Beach Long Island Maternity Photography

It was an honor doing this Long Beach Long Island Maternity Photography session. This session was planned right before the start of the summer and we had a beautiful day. We first started the photo session by taking a few in studio portraits against a regular white background. I always like to add some drama especially on pregnant bellies so I did a few photos with some dramatic lighting. Afterwards we drove down to Long Beach just in time to catch the sunset. We first did some photos on the boardwalk and then walked to the sand to get some shots with the sunset in the background. I used both the natural golden hour light for some of the shots and some flash for some dramatic photos. I love both styles and I always try to shoot both ways to give the client two different looks to choose from. It is always exciting to see their reactions when they see the photos using the flash as it always illicitates a huge WOW from them.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. Let me know which style you like better. Pastel skies or rich and dramatic skies. Or both.

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:

Long Island Children’s Photography/Flushing Meadows Park Photo Session

Springtime is here……the birds are chirping and the beautiful flowers have all bloomed. I especially love the pink flowers on the branches. Since i also work as a skating coach at Worlds Ice Arena in Flushing Meadows Park, NY I get to spend lots of time in the park. One afternoon, I took a walk through the park and found a beautiful spot filled with these flowers for this children’s photo session. At first Julia wore a beautiful blue dress, I tried getting some posed shots with her holding the flowers and smelling them.
