It’s raining outside and I’m sitting on my couch, staring at these photos of Tatiana, who will be welcoming Isabella any day. I was fortunate enough to work with Tatiana for the last two years, and I remember the day she shared that she was pregnant in front of everyone- extreme joy that instantly turned to tears knowing that despite the struggles, she would indeed be a mother.  Tatiana has prayed for Isabella for so long, and I am so happy that she and Jared will soon be able to hold her in their arms.

We shot at Hope Valley Lavender field and park, which just so happens to be where Jared took Tatiana on their first date.  We had a small window in which to shoot because on all sides, there were rain storms.  Despite how sunny and warm it looks, it was actually 40 degrees, which for Tatiana, who is from Brazil, is a nightmare!  I am anxiously awaiting seeing little Isabella’s sweet face, and I know mom and dad are ready too.

Staten Island Lifestyle Newborn Photography | Baby Beckham

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I just love becoming friends with my wedding clients.  We work together through some of the most beautiful and stressful times of their lives.  A lot of trust is formed, and by the end of it all, we feel as though we’ve climbed mountains together.

One year ago, I was lucky enough to photograph Kaleigh and Brian’s wedding, which you can check out here.  We’ve kept in contact through social media, and I was so excited for them when they shared they were expecting a baby boy.  And then I was absolutely floored when they asked me to photograph their newest addition.  I focus on lifestyle newborn, documenting a family exactly as they are, and this was the laid back documentation Kaleigh and Brian were looking for.

Baby Beckham had an exciting birth to say the least.  He was an early and very big guy!  But oh he was such a joy to photograph!  He smiled and watched as I took his photos, and was calm and happy even with big brother and Tini (the dog) getting in his personal space.  Every detail of his nursery was designed with Beckham in mind, lovingly put together by his parents.  And oh!  The sunlight!  I left a very dreary, rainy Philly (what is up with this sad spring weather?) and when I crossed into Staten Island, it was nothing but sunshine!

Lifestyle Newborn is my favorite.  Years will go by quickly and these first days of adjusting as a new family will be a faint memory.  Take a peek at some of my favorite photos from this darling family’s session! Continue reading “Staten Island Lifestyle Newborn Photography | Baby Beckham”
