New York City Photography: Newborn baby pictures

kim — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 19:46:28 +0000

I saw this picture and absolutely loved it. This baby was only two weeks old and wouldn’t stop crying. But you can see that his daddy loves him, and I think that theres nothing cuter than a daddy and his baby.

NYC Photography: Shots of the day

I reviewed the photos of an adorable baby boy today, and the photos that I liked the most were the silly faces he made! Especially with young kids, it’s super cute to see them make expressions that are outside the norm. Don’t be afraid to do more than smile!

Congratulations to our MommyBites Summit raffle winners!

We had such a blast last week meeting and talking with everyone. Thank you so much to BabyBites and KiddyBites for hosting such a wonderful event filled with food, drink, and lots of information.

Our prize winners were chosen at random by our own collage artist Shannon Clyne who will be making the custom framed artwork for our grand prize winner (value $150) won by Lauren Sek. Shannon dug her hand into the hat and picked both winners. We also congratulate Lauren Rubinstein, the winner of our LadyBug package (value $99) with a no sitting fee photo shoot. What are the odds, two Laurens.

If your name was not chosen, we are still awarding you a gift certificate (expires 8/31/2010) for a complimentary photo shoot and free 4×6 print. Why? Cause everyone loves swag and we love MommyBites! Click here to print your gift certificate.
Please note: you must use the email given for the raffle. All certificates will be checked against the raffle entry forms. This gift certificate is for raffle entrants ONLY.

Another Favorite!

Here is a pretty little girl named Alice, all set for spring in her wonderful pink dress. We might be booked solid for the rest of this week, but the weeks to follow should be fabulous weather, and fabulous time for photos. Come stop by.

So as you know we are doing advanced camera training this month, and this week we focused on newborn photography! I wanted to share some pictures from the photo shoot I did today, this baby girl came in with this adorable tutu and I spent an hour with her, trying to nail the perfect lighting, angles and focus. And I’m really happy with the way they came out!
