Celebrating Baby Justin’s Arrival!

Ulysses — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:30:17 +0000

We could not wait to see Angela + James again. Their wedding was about a year ago, and suddenly here we were photographing their awesome baby boy, Justin. Just loves to snuggle, and word has it that he’s also a huge Jets fan! He’s already getting off to a great start.

Because we’ve had such a great history with Angela + James and their families, they shared a note in their own words about why these photos are so important to them:

James and I have been together for so long, and have always talked about our future. Little did we know our future was closer than we had ever dreamed! We were so blessed to be married, buy our house, and have our son Justin, all in one year’s time. This photo shoot was our opportunity to celebrate Justin’s safe arrival, and our love for one another. We always knew we would be a family someday, and it was so special to have our photos taken for the first time. When those photos came in the mail, I nearly attacked the UPS guy (as did my dog Clarabelle) and I ripped open the packages and smiled ear to ear. They were everything I wanted and more. I was scrambling around my house with my hammer and nails, moving things around and finding the perfect spot for all these new family pictures. I can’t wait for people to come visit so they can see our new art!

Baby Alysia Is Here!

Alysia is finally here! Anna + Javier couldn’t be happier. And what a beautiful baby she is. With her dark eyes and her even darker hair, she’s a perfect combination of her awesome parents. Only a few days old, we were some of the first to lay eyes on her. Big thanks and hugs to Anna + Javier for introducing us to your latest gem.

Baby Matt Is Here!

Ulysses — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 12:50:14 +0000

Our excitement over Michele + Matt’s upcoming first baby was easily excelled when she asked us to take photos of Baby Matt for his very first professional photos. We were delighted to see one of our favorite couples again. Baby Matt loves cuddling more than anything else in the world, and his mom & dad have plenty of love to give him. It’s been an amazing year for Michele + Matt, and it was a joy spending time with them once more.

We couldn’t wait to finally meet Gemma, having recently photographed her ecstatic parents for Diana’s gorgeous maternity photos. She was the perfect little model, hardly uttering a single peep during the entire photo shoot. Could she be more adorable? We’re so glad her parents have invited us to photograph her first year with them, and we’re thrilled to watch her grow.

There is little that gets us as excited as getting a call back from one of our past couples to let us know they are having a baby. And when it’s a couple that shares a long history with us, like Kimberly + Eric, our excitement is just quadrupled! We first met when Kimberly was a bridesmaid at a friend’s wedding, and since then we’ve done several photo shoots together, including Kimberly + Eric’s lovely wedding. But nothing compares to the sweet little boy we had the privilege to photograph at less than a week old. Have you ever seen a cuter face? We just fell in love, and we know you will, too.

The arrival of Spring always brings joy and broad smiles to our faces, and the arrival of newborn babies in Spring has that same effect but even more so! Jamie & Paul couldn’t wait for their twins to be born. We could hardly contain ourselves when we got to meet little Lucas and Dorothea for the first time, so we can imagine the family excitement once they finally arrived. Getting two newborns to sleep at the same time can be an interesting challenge, but we pulled out every newborn ninja skill we had, and we enjoyed every minute of it. We’re so thankful to Jamie & Paul for inviting us to continue showing through photos how wonderful a family they have! Together with their big brother, Ryan, babies Lucas & Thea are receiving a ton of well-deserved love and attention from everyone.

Feel free to leave a comment below for the happy family or for us. We always enjoy hearing from you!

See more with Jamie & Paul.

We’ve always known what an incredible couple Melissa & Mark make. You can imagine our excitement at seeing their family grow with the addition of their bouncing baby boy, Mason! The three of them together made for a more-than-delightful family and newborn session. Mason was a perfect baby model for us. It was as if he already knew the routine after his mommy’s maternity session.

Baby Chloe Has Arrived!

Debbie & Mike have been some of our favorite people to photograph for years now. We were so happy to hear about the arrival of their precious little peanut, Chloe. She loves to cuddle with her mom and dad, and they clearly love spending as much time as they possibly can with her, making her newborn photo session a true joy. It was such a privilege producing these for them. We’re really looking forward to getting to know Baby Chloe better over the next year.

Baby Aliyah Is Here!

One our happiest experiences is to be one of the first faces a newborn baby gets to know, often within its first week of life. Meeting little Aliyah was really special for us because we’ve also known and gotten to photograph her big sister since before Day #1. What an awesome privilege to be a part of Jasmine & Josh’s family since their children’s earliest days! Aliyah was calm and relaxed during her photos session and definitely loved to interact even at this early age. We can’t wait to watch her grow in the days to come!

Introducing Baby Liliana!

We recently got to meet our newest tiny little friend, Liliana. Just as beautiful as her mother, and quiet and strong as her father, she was such a joy to photograph. Congratulation to Anna & Javier! Thank you so much for letting us capture your adorable little girl. It’s going to be so much fun watching her grow.

Baby Maya Has Arrived!

Many of our readers will remember Rachel & Ross from when we photographed their wedding a few years back. They are now the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl named Maya. We were thrilled to meet her and quickly fell in love with her red hair and natural highlights, alert blue eyes, and sweet voice. Her mom couldn’t believe it, telling us this was the most awake she’d seen her yet! At just a week old, Maya has already made herself right at home with her parents and the puppies. It was such a privilege to spend time with each of them again and document their growing family.

Catelyn Is Finally Here!

Ulysses — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:07:41 +0000

Congratulations to Maureen & Dan! Their precious little girl, Catelyn, has finally arrived. We couldn’t be happier for them. Although only a few days old, she was a perfect model for us and even seemed to enjoy the attention. Of course, we want to share a few photos.

We were so excited to finally meet little Ryan! Not only did we know he would be adorable, but we couldn’t wait to see his parents again.

Our blog readers will no doubt recognize Jamie & Paul, whose wedding we photographed last year at The Garrison. We had an amazing time with them.

Ryan was born just one day after their first anniversary, after just 3 hours of labor! This beautiful little boy was a joy to photograph, and we even got to include their Beagle, Maya, and Ryan’s adorable cousin Madison (5 months old) in some of the photos. We can’t wait to watch Ryan grow up!

Arianna’s Newborn Photo Shoot

Jenni — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:45:01 +0000

Arianna is about 2 weeks old now, and Ulysses and I had some time with her this morning to take some photos. She is just the most precious little girl. Since you’ve all been reading about her from way before she was even born, we’ll just post a couple of photos here so you can enjoy them …

Her complete gallery will be available very soon in the “Client Proofs” area of our main website. Keep on the lookout for it!

Arianna’s Arrival!

Ulysses — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 11:33:41 +0000

Jasmine and Josh are very tired, but also very overjoyed that she’s finally here. She has a head full of gorgeous dark curly hair. Josh says she looks just like her mom.

Arianna weighs 6 lb, 11 oz, and she is 20 inches long. She’s just perfect.

We’ll have more later.

Say ‘Hello’ to Maya!

Ulysses — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:57:15 +0000

Maya finally said “hello” to the world only a few short weeks after the arrival of her cousin, Gianluca. And what a beautiful baby she is! When we arrived for her newborn session, we found her comfortably swaddled in an adorable printed jumper. Just as we were getting started, she slowly opened her eyes to see what was happening around her. Needless to say, there were more squeals of delight and anticipation coming from us than from Maya at this point.

Her parents are just great with her. She loves to be warmly cuddled. She has Anna’s gorgeous almond-shaped eyes. And Jonathan rocks her to soothe her and to let her know everything is alright. A beautiful family.

Anna, Jonathan, and Maya, we were so glad to be able to share this photo shoot with you! We could barely contain our excitement for all of you. Your gallery is coming online soon in the “Client Proofs” section of our main website. Feel free to share the password access to the gallery with any of your friends and family.

Gianluca Has Arrived!

Ulysses — Fri, 23 May 2008 10:30:19 +0000

There are few things more fulfilling for a wedding photographer than to be invited back over the course of time to watch a couple’s growing family. You can imagine our excitement at FINALLY getting to meet Vivian & John’s little baby boy, Gianluca. Only a little over a week old, we simply allowed his pace (and his meal routine) to tell us when it was time to photograph.

Vivian & John, he’s a beautiful little bundle, and we couldn’t be happier for one of the most amazing couples ever. THANK YOU for asking us to share this experience. We know that wonderful things are yet in store for your beautiful family. We can’t wait to watch him grow.

Announcing our new Portrait Gallery!

Jenni — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 18:15:26 +0000

We’ve recently made an addition to our website, and we wanted to share it with all of you. Although we still specialize primarily in weddings, we’ve been getting more and more portrait requests from our past wedding clients. They’ve been calling us back as their families begin to expand for maternity and baby portraits (which thrills us!) , or when their whole family is in town to get some special family portraits. We love continuing our relationship with them and seeing them again!

To reflect the direction our photography has been taking us, we decided to add a “Portrait” Gallery to our main site. We filled it with a few of our favorites to give you an idea of the kind of portraiture we love, and we think you’ll enjoy them as much as we do. Check it out, and please let others know who might enjoy our style of photography. If you’re a past wedding client, we really hope to see you again soon!

Sofia’s Baby Session

Ulysses — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 15:50:45 +0000

After shooting a fun maternity session with Nicole & Ralph a few short months ago, Ulysses and I were so excited to finally meet little Sofia. She was born just last month, and she is simply beautiful. During our time with her, she showed the full range of emotions. I think she definitely knew the camera was on her, and she posed like a star.

Enjoy this preview slideshow. Her entire gallery will be posted shortly on our main website, with a password that can be requested from her parents. If you’d like to leave a comment for her parents or for us, please do so by clicking on the “Comments” link below!
