Eleventh Collection

This little spot is on fire in the Fall and I knew it would be a perfect backdrop for a maternity session. I am so grateful that my clients trust my vision as this spot is part of a field on the side of the road that I drive by every day. This image is exactly how I envisioned it.

This is Kaat. Almost 1 years old
She is so lovely and sweet. We had a lot of fun with her in the studio. She loves it to play with me and the camera. She gave me a lot of different faces.

This is Rheeya. My wonderful friends at DoGoodDecor.com provided the darling tie back for this image. Her name made me think of ray of light. I wanted her angelic nature to shine through.

Conocí a Felipe cuando tenía tan sólo siete días de vida. Este bebote vino acompañado de su mamá, y su tía una hermosa mañana de Diciembre. Como todos los días que tengo sesión con recién nacidos, me levanto temprano para que esté todo listo antes de la llegada de los protagonistas de las fotos. Con "Feli" teníamos una linda historia para contar; su familia tiene un restaurante, el que hace las pizzas más ricas del pueblo. Se me ocurrió que está era una muy buena oportunidad para que quede claro que nació un nuevo heredero.

Ya decidida la temática, sólo faltaba encontrar las props. Llamé a Gisella, la mamá, para pedirle unas cajas de pizzas y un bol de acero inoxidable de la cocina del restaurante. Obviamente, esa mañana estuve deseando desayunar pizza mientras diseñaba esta sesión tan especial...

Felipe y su familia llegaron, yo comencé a acomodar todo. Un sombrerito de chef blanco (hecho por mí especialmente para la ocasión), un repasador, el nombre Felipe calado en madera, el bol y las cajas de pizza ya estaban listos. Pero algo faltaba... Si, condimentos! Fui a mi cocina y busqué lo necesario. Yo nunca me destaqué por mis dotes culinarios; si Gisella no me hubiese aclarado lo contrario (entre risas, por supuesto), para mí la masa de pizzas llevaba huevos. Descartados los huevos, volví con la harina pensando en que linda iba a quedar sobre esa naricita.

La sesión transcurrió muy tranquila. Quién diría... Ese bol no sólo estaba diseñado para mezclar masa, sino también para que un recién nacido duerma una siestita apoyando sobre el borde. Felipe fue un modelo ejemplar, juntos batimos récord: En sólo dos horas capturamos muchas fotos hermosas para el recuerdo.

Violeta es el nombre de esta hermosa bebé, es muy lindo cuando nos visitan bebés tan lindos y con papitos tan queridos, ese el caso de Violeta, posó para nuestro lente a sus 7 meses y pronto la tendremos de regreso para su primer añito.

Nature & Babies, what a perfect combination 3> Baby Naomi was just a few days new... I love about this photo that it was taken outside, the garden is a favorite place for her mama - gladly for me :) especially since not many moms agree to take their newborns outside... Another thing i love about this photo that it's all natural, almost no photoshop or anything, just a bit of vibrance maybe, thats all...

Lise is the second baby I photographed, she was a month old. I wanted to photograph a newborn but I decided to do a photo shoot with her and I did not have any regrets.
She made me happy to try with a baby a month.
She moved a lot and made me laugh a lot !
I was a novice newborn photographer but I still like this photo.

Meet Revvi Shea, my beautiful niece and her gorgeous mama! I always collaborate with my clients to tailor their session to fit the unique style and personality of their family. My sister in law wears these glasses daily, so when I came across a tiny pair of similar glasses I thought how precious would it be to portray both together in one image?! When I shared the suggestion with my SIL, she squealed in excitement "yes! oh yes!". That is the response I love to hear from my clients. The final product, a unique image that she simply adores.

Sage and Hazel visited me in the studio along with their mother and father, whom I went to high school with. It was so much fun catching up with an old friend while capturing these beautiful sisters.

This image was captured when baby Candelaria was 11 days old. I was inspired to use a colorful scarf to bring life into the frame. I love color and you will find it in my images, I believe that a touch of color always brings a magical result.

He is Marzio, 17 days. I took this picture at his home, in his parent's room on January 2017 . He has been hungry all the time and has been feeding every hour during the session and then finally fall asleep when I captured this image.

Miss Peyton Rose

This precious sleeping beauty came to visit me when she was only 10-days new. When I schedule newborns, I always ask parents if they have a vision or color scheme they would like incorporated into their session. Miss P's mom's favorite color is hot pink (and so is mine!) so I had a blast putting together this vibrant color pallet. I've always considered myself more of a neutral pallet lover with newborns; this session changed my perspective. As Newborn Photographers, we know that we are often not blessed with little ones who want to sleep through their session. Peyton (and her family) was one of the most easy going, sleepiest babies I've ever had the pleasure of photographing.

Little Miss J gave me a run for my money this session... Right as we were going to call it a day, this sweet girl delivered this overly tired yawn. It was perfect!! It was a great way to end her session, and it so happens to be one of my favorite pictures!

This is Sia, our sweet little girl of 7 months. When she was born, i want to capture every moment! So, she was our first model for the sitter session. I love the results... The beautiful colors from the flower bonnet looks great on her!

This beautiful little girl was less than 6lbs at birth. She was 10 days new when she came into my studio, and she was absolutely perfect. I am blessed to have the opportunity to photograph precious little ones and their families!

Sometimes you pray and get no answer and some times you get three answers at once. a perfect gift. meet the instant family.... Talia Chen

This photo was taken in a in home session and was one of the last photos taken. She is so shy hence the tug on the hair and has gorgeous eyes which didnt even need to be edited.

This is Luca Giotto. In that time he was 9 months. It was summer so I could capture that curious face with an amazing sunset gold light and green grass.

Amalia llegó al estudio desde Madrid para hacer su primera sesión de fotos. Se portó genial durante todo el reportaje y durmió muchísimo, algo poco habitual cuando ya tienen un mes como es el caso de Amalia que en esta foto la podemos ver descansando plácidamente sobre un osito.

Meet the delicate, beautiful Sophia. Sophia is the daughter of my brothers best friend. Her beautiful hair and skin tones screamed pastels to me! This is my favorite image from her session.

I love using special accessories for new born sessions . Creating photos & capturing moments is creating memories for a family. I think using accessories that have special meaning for the family grant the photo that extra meaning. So the moment i walked into this baby girl's house & saw the amazing Matryeshka dolls collecton of her mama, i just knew i had to use it!

Jesse visited me in my studio when he was 3 weeks old. He loved being snuggled into his little nest. His mother writes a blog for Boston Moms and it was so much fun spending time with her and his older siblings during the session.

She is Matilde, 30 days. This picture has been taken on her balcony. It was a very warm day in the summer time, so I decided to capture her beauty outside with natural light.

The people we become are a direct influence of our surroundings. I always try to imagine and mimic the future child through the parents. Every picture tells a story. Talia Chen

Mateo's Mom is A native Texan. I wanted to incorporate a bit of home for her, and when I think of Texas I think of horses! A saddle seemed like the perfect fit.

This is a magical place, i love photographing there & that is Jonathan :) The original intention of this photo shoot was a cake smash for Jonathan's little brother and sister (twins) - we even had the perfect owl cake which we carried walking in the river! But though the idea was beautiful, in real it went all wrong... The twins didn't want to get anywhere near the cake nor the river so Jonathan, who just came along as the 'big brother' ended up enjoying both :)
