New York City 1st Birthday It was such a joy to have Rosalia in my studio for her 1st birthday cake smash session. Her mom Jacqueline worked with me for a few years and it was so nice to see this little baby grow up. I am always nervous how these sessions will go but...
New York 1st Birthday Shoot It was my first time meeting baby Leo. I had worked with his family in the past for maternity and newborn shoots for his old brother. He was hesitant at first sitting in front of my camera however after a little bit of snack bribery we were able to get...

Hudson Yards Cake Smash Typically I do not have availability on short notice but in baby Tyler’s situation I did.
