Carolyn contacted the studio to reserve a newborn session and didn't have maternity on her radar. When she viewed the maternity portfolio on the website, she decided that she did want maternity photos in the field because my photos "were not cheesy or contrived." Her husband's sister is a successful photographer in Manhattan but does not specialize in maternity and newborn. She and I share the philosophy that it is best to reserve your specific session type with someone who specializes in that niche. Jack of all trades, master of none is definitely something that I see far too often and it makes me a little bit sad.

Carolyn came into the studio for a maternity fitting and arrived in scrubs. I found out that she is a speech therapist, and informed her I'd been in speech therapy for the majority of my childhood. For those who don't know, I wear hearing aids! I don't use sign language to communicate, but have no issues understanding my clients and communicating verbally. :) During the fitting Carolyn decided that she loved this one dress with a shawl so much that she didn't want to wear anything else.

Carolyn also opted to add on hair and makeup services and worked with Margaret. She absolutely loved working with her and stated that she felt gorgeous and natural but not overdone. Our HMUA's are amazing and professionals at what they do. They specialize in classic clean beauty but can kick it up a notch if you prefer a more dramatic look.

When we arrived at the field, we started shooting and had a lot of fun. During my sessions, I'm all about relaxing and joking and having fun. When you are having FUN, it will show in your images. The joy will be evident, and you will look back on your session and smile when you see them. You can't fake real emotion...and why would you want to? Authenticity is what I strive for with every aspect of your experience with me.

I can't wait to share Carolyn and Greg's newborn session with you! Here are some of my favorites from their maternity session.
