JD

A handsome little man is a part of this world and I was lucky enough to give him his first real photo shoot.  He's definitely a cutie and the newest baby to the family

showing a little bit of his Irish side...

as well as his Dominican latino side :)

he's a handsome lil fella :)

Her First Baby Bump...

Mrs. V looks absolutely beautiful with her first baby bump! It's the first paternal grandchild everyone is excited for and can't wait to meet and see whether it's a boy or a girl. I decided that traveling to PA would be best for this session because I felt it was a meaningful place for the parents to be for several reasons and I was happy that they both agreed and thought it was a great idea, so PA became a little weekend getaway for us all ♥

this is Max, he will be monkeying around this session

the happy parents to be :)

isn't she so pretty

she's definitely glowing

a kiss from Daddy

Thanks for looking :)

Maritza's Baby Bump

Life is full of surprises at times and again I had the opportunity to come across an old friend who now becomes a client of mine. Capturing her beautiful baby belly. It was a pleasure meeting older sister and super cooperating hubby. Beautiful Family this is and I wish them health and happiness always. Thank you Maritza for asking me to do this for you ♥

Angelina

An angel sent from heaven.  The little girl that has blessed and completed this family.  I spent an entire day with the Batista Family and I have to say it was so much fun!  She's one lucky little sister with two awesome older brothers who will always be there to give her love, protection and laughter.  I'm truly thankful to have been able to capture these memories for this beautiful family <3

Thanks for looking :)

Blessed to be Jess - Maternity Session

A special maternity session for someone I've known since JHS that now has become a client. We lost touch for a number of yrs and nowhere in my mind did I think I'd be doing her maternity session and being there for some tough moments in her life. You see, this album is titled Bless to be Jess for a reason. About 2yrs ago she shared with me her battle with breast cancer, "BLESSED TO BE JESS" was the name of her team I joined in walking and raising a nice amount of money for the fight against breast cancer. After going thru chemo and being cancer free, she was told, pregnancy may be difficult (luckily she already had 2 awesome boys before diagnosed with breast cancer) but Bless to be Jess became pregnant again and this time around...with a miracle of a little girl waiting to be born, who I was able to photograph as well. I'm thankful to still be a part of Jessy's life, her family and be able to capture their moments. Love you Jessy ♥

Lunar Eclipse - Winter Solice 2010

On a cold NYC Tues, Dec 21 morning (1:15am), along with 2 friends, we drove down to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to experience the amazing Lunar Eclipse.  Despite us freezing our behinds off and having about 2-5hrs of sleep...it was all so worth it.  I'm thankful to have been able to do this.
