Oh Charlie, could you be any sweeter?

Charlie is on the cusp of ten months, and so much fun.

He came by for a holiday portraits in November and now, at his Valentine’s day shoot a few weeks later, he is even more active.

He is itching to walk, and just as giggly as ever. He’s a wild man!

It’s so exciting and fun to watch him grow. I’m so honored I get to photograph it!

There are so many families near me in Manhattan, which is wonderful. The only bad thing about being a New York City baby photographer is that you can’t easily work outdoors in the winter.

Thus, the importance of the studio shoot! I love the natural beauty of outdoor shoots, but enjoy working with studio lighting indoors, and on location at people’s apartments/houses. We did this shoot in Greenwich Village.

Charlie is such an inquisitive little fellow, and he really loves to laugh.

He is just so charming.

I’ve written about how to prep for a family photo shoot but when photographing one baby, it really just comes down to choosing some cute outfits, and timing the shoot around the baby’s nap. Easy breezy.

And here’s Charlie a few weeks ago:

Here’s a lovely review Charlie’s mother left for me.

Thank you, Dana!

And I agree: it’s so great to be a part of clients’ special moments. I love watching their families grow, and documenting all the fun along the way.

It is an honor to be a part of it all. I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Anyway, back to the subject at hand: Older babies are so much fun to photograph – send me your older babies!

I’ll be doing a limited number of Valentine’s Day shoots through the first week of February, and studio shoots for kids year round.

I can’t wait to work with you.
