Rocco was the perfect little model...slept the whole time and was so posable. I love sessions like this. Plus he is super cute. Just look at the little kissy faces he makes!! And with a name like Rocco, he is earning his heartbreaker status early.

Muah!

I'm loving this lasest newborn session so far!! Isabella looks so pretty in pinks and purples. She had the cutest little lips and the best chubby cheeks :)

This one might be my favorite macro shot so far.

Hello there!

And Hello again. (she didn't like sleep)

A new brand of maternity- Christine Melissa Photography - Long Island Maternity and Pregnancy Photographer

2011-10-12T21:40:00.006-04:00

I recently did an photography exercize showing one of my first maternity sessions vs. a current one. It was a real eye-opener. I'll spare you the before pics. lol.

Every genre of photography follows trends. Maternity photography has been taken a more boudior/fashion turn...in my studio anyway. If I were to write one of those "In vs. Out" lists for maternity sessions it would read:

Last year: Heart hands, ribbons and blocks.

Now: (see below)

How GORGEOUS is this mamma-to-be?! I can't wait to meet baby M next month!!

Beach | Long Island Family Photographer | Christine Melissa Photography

2011-08-03T22:26:00.002-04:00

I've been trying to plan a session with my friend CTJ and her family for the longest time. Between my schedule and 3 teenagers schedule's, it wasn't easy. But we finally got a date down and headed to the beach...on the windiest night ever.

I have a lot in common with this family. Mom's name is Christine. Her daughter's name is Melissa. And her teenagers have a baby sibling. My little brother was born when I was in hight school, so I can totally relate. (he is 16 and quite a bit taller than me now, but always my "little" brother) Oh, and I wore the same shirt as mom to the session, but that's because we went shopping together. How did we do with coordinating outfits for everyone? Pretty good, right?

OK, onto the photos...

Pipsqueak!

The "big kids"

Daddy's little girl <3

She could be a model or something, huh? ;)

CTJ (Mom) and her girls.

I love this one!

I love this one too!

How cake was made to be eaten | Long Island Baby Photographer | Christine Melissa Photography

I met first met N at her newborn session last year. I can't believe she is turning ONE already!

This is N Then. What a difference a year makes...in both the baby and my photography style :/

And here is N now. From beautiful baby to beautiful toddler.

And now for the cake. She LOVED the cake. Cake smashes are sometimes hit or miss. This was a definite hit!

Doesn't everyone eat their cake this way?!

And the best for last. Best cake smash shot ever!
