Forty-Fourth Collection

So happy we got this LAST fall session in. We could smell the snow in the air when we were working and the light was fading fast! It has snowed six inches by morning!

Located in NE Pennsylvania I was honored to have a client drive all the way down from Manhattan to have me photograph their sweet baby, Nathaniel. He was born in the city where his parents met and it was important to them to pay homage to the place where it all began. We dressed him in a little vintage newsboy outfit and tucked him up nice and snuggly in an old leather suitcase. All we needed was the NY Times from the day he was born to bring it all together in this timeless shot. He slept like an angel and was a dream baby to photograph.

Beautiful and cheeky little Lincoln is 2yr and 8months old. He had a lovely session with his grandfather on our Christmas Kitchen mini sessions.
Lincoln rocks his extra chromosome and is an ambassador for CelebrateT21 Australia. Yay Lincoln!

An old English phonecall, a little girl & boy, some presents and a beautiful location in The Netherlands are the ingredients for this warm & old-fashioned Christmas feeling. For a moment we went back in time and however, the girl and boy had never met before they laughed, played, danced and a new friendship started to grow.

Such a nice message on Advent Sunday. I'm so happy that I got an award again this time. The cute twins really deserve it. many thanks.

Beautiful Mary came to me with a second baby. Three years ago, I took pictures of my elder sister Marfa. How wonderful that parents trust the most valuable in my hands.

This lovely boy came to my studio and was a real champ. No matter what I did, he slept the whole session... a real gift for the photographer.

Photo of one of my daughters. I was trying to recreate a Rembrandt painting with a specific light. I love how it turned out. ...

The Autumn colours were spectacular this year, nature is so amazing as is my sweet daughter in the photograph. I walked pass this wall of beautiful red foliage several times and knew I had to photograph it.

I just love when animals participate in a photoshoot, they add so much to the atmosphere of joy, anticipation and ultimate love...

For me, this photo just captured the essence of Christmas - finding a quiet moment from all the chaos and just enjoy something that makes you happy - like playing with a truck. This little guy with his flaming red hair found that moment away from his two sisters and the craziness of the session and I was so happy I could get in in-camera. With the low light and dark background, it just reminded me of an old painting.

Thank you so much for including my photo in your 44 collection. I get so excited and so over the moon when receiving an email announcing my photo has been selected for one of your collections.
When mum asked if I could include some autumnal colours, I must admit I did do a little happy dance. So in love with these warm autumn colours right now. How warm and cozy do 12 days new Sienna look?

It wasn’t her session it was her sister's newborn session, but I couldn’t avoid photographing this beautiful 3years old girl.

Weather in Texas can be unpredictable, to say the least. The day before and the day after this session, it was cold and rainy. We debated on rescheduling but decided to move forward the day of the session. I'm so happy we did. The weather was perfect and the sunset over the lake was beautiful.

Last moments when it's still warm outside and still have all this green in the vines before winter arrives, love this picture and this girl :)

A few days before this shooting I read this quote from Erica Jong: "“No state is so similar to the madness to one side, and the other to the divine, as being pregnant. The mother is doubled, then divided in half and never again she’ll be whole.”
With this shot, inspired by this quote, I wanted to represent the beauty of pregnancy. The body changes and grows and that one makes two.

Shine shine little star! You are so elegant and beautiful! We love you so much! My Christmas decorations 2019 with my best model ever.

Maor is a sweet and beautiful 3-year-old boy.
I shot it in the woods and then we moved to the sea,
When we got to the sea there were lots of fishermen around, so I told myself how nice it would be to build fishing vessels for him as well.
I collected some seashells, used a thread that is always in my bag for all kinds of occasions,
I found a stick,
And here's fishing gear for him too.

"THE LITTLE MAN"
This picture was shot on the concept of magical power of little child, And during culling process we found this image fit more to the concept because of his attitude.
Thanks for choosing this image!

Sweet baby Jada refused to sleep for her special newborn session. Through perseverance and determination, little Jada eventually did fall asleep in her Momma’s arms; just in time for me to capture this precious moment.

A magical moment in the golden hour.
A one-year-old baby, with plump and so sweet cheeks, touches the leaves,
enjoys nature and is curious about everything around.

When people trust us for their baptism photos. We can do something as beautiful as precious at the same time, light shapes the image but the image does not shape people.

My photo session with Nofar gave me a moment of happiness.
I meat a magical girl who connected me with today's girls to the girls of my time. On the one hand gentle, innocent and natural and on the other hand full of confidence and connection to the camera like today's girls, which brought this image to one great charm.

My little starlet adores music. She likes to play her tiny piano, dance, and sing. She always gives me new ideas for the photo-sessions.

I love to experiment sometimes. I got this headpiece last summer and after I bought it I regret it a bit... is this what I want?
Well just give it a go! and it turned out better than expected. I fell in love with this photo and I'm glad the jury did also.

Fotoshooting am berühmtesten See meiner Heimat. Bereits am frühen Vormittag waren bereits hunderte Touristen um uns herum und 2 Brautpaare die auch fotografiert wurden ! Trotzdem war diese hübsche Mama nicht aus der Ruhe zu bringen. Sie hat es gerockt

"Waiting for Santa"
This photo is special to me since this is my newest nephew. His brother was the first baby I photographed 3 years ago. I love how this image captures the magic of Christmas.

This is a beautiful picture of my best friend and her sweet baby Danial.  The definition of photography for me is beyond capturing pictures. It is more defined as feeling love and transferring that feeling in different ways. At this moment, I captured a beautiful, pure love and a strong emotional bond between a mother and a baby.

This is Kinsley! Every year I choose a different theme for Christmas portraits and this year we chose to do them on the vintage train car at the Allentown and Auburn RR. The lighting was perfection coming through the old glass windows and the entire session was reminiscent of times passed. We let each child explore the train and look out the windows telling them to look for Santa in the sky or Rudolph in the snow. They had such a blast and sweet little Kinsley was able to give me this adorable shot as the last photo of the day!

Barbara, sweet bunny. At the time of the photo shoot, the baby was already 22 days old. Keep in mind the very first lives of your baby!
