Smiles. So many.

The groom made a short and sweet speech. The actual words who ever remembers? But the idea:  In a world where not every day is a great day and things are not always wonderful, it is important to celebrate and a be grateful for these kinds of days...

My Whole Family

I have already preached it. THESE sessions are important. AND beautiful.

My Whole Family | NorthGlow Photography

Every baby needs a photos with their grandparents. I think only those who were unable to make it happen can preach it more then I. 

My Whole Family | NorthGlow Photography

And I kinda think this family had a lot of fun. Mimosas? On a gorgeous morning? Walking around their home? Perfection!

Sweet and Simple | Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer

This new Mama is in love. She is so lucky to have a beautiful big sister helper. This joined family is perfect together. I loved getting to celebrate their newest little love. She was perfection. 

Simple and Sweet | NorthGlow Photography

Little girl babies are so dainty. I love watching the session evolve as the parents pick out colors and details to use in the photos. Of course it has my style. BUT I think it is overwhelmingly YOUR style.

Daddy and Me

This daddy received this session as a gift! I realize many Dad's don't love a photo session. They don't like wake up in the morning thinking, "Today, I really feel like chasing my children around in an outfit I would never wear that my wife picked out, being told where to stand and allow my child to behave like a maniac." Yikes! Yes! It can feel that way. My goal and (one of this years resolution plans) is to steer away from that! 

Daddy and Me | NorthGlow Photography

I want there to be less pressure. I don't know if dad (or mom) will ever truly love a photo session. BUT I know you love the results! I also know this dad is a super hero! He got all these handsome boys dressed and here to the studio. They had a blast and we were finished in about 25ish minutes. 

Daddy and Me | NorthGlow Photography

Good job Dad!

Let me kiss you boo boo | Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer

That is what she said?!?! This big sister is like, she needs her own reality show. She is darling and kind and tender. I know why. Her mommy and daddy are some of the funniest, but really kindest, most tender people I know. They care for people for a living. They have to be! (But I think they love it too!). 

Let me kiss you boo boo | NorthGlow Photography

Now they have TWO MORE BABIES! I'm not kidding when I say they make it look easy. I know it isn't of course. BUT they smile the whole time.

I mean?!?!? This big brother? He melts me. He was such a great little participator. These two are going to be best buds immediately.

Little man slept like his whole session. And smiled. (Folks, this is not typical, he made it seem easy). 

Big Little Brother | NorthGlow Photography

I have been combing my antique spots for all sorts of new bins and accessories. I love, love this wagon. It was a favorite buy years ago. Now looking for new things. Fairly obsessive about this kind of thing.

These gorgeous new little families! I'm like totally exhausted and thrilled at the same time! (and so are they!!). 

Veyda | NorthGlow Photography

The first baby is something amazing. These gorgeous new Mamas. Always questioning themselves, but doing amazing all at once. And really? Is there anything more handsome then a new dad holding his baby? I wouldn't let this man out of the house with that child. 

Veyda | NorthGlow Photography

I can't wait to spend the first year with this family. Email me?!?! I have a lot of special goodies for you if you do the first year. You will be so excited!

A New Big Sister | Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer

Sisters are special. I would almost consider having another baby just to give my daughter a sister. 

This little teeny big sister is the best! It was clear she is excited for her new role. 

This family loves simple and beautiful. Which is obviously ridiculously easy. 

One of my favorite things, when the big sister gives daddy kisses (which she does a whole lot). She says "Muahhhh". 

There is a horse connection with this family, so I talked them into this shot! 

My philosophy is typically very classic, very your taste, with a bit of whimsy. 

This sweet horse is a total antique and we love it!

Julian Newborn | Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer

This young lad looks pretty much, just like daddy. Isn't that always the case?!? That first baby, all that work and anticipation, and NOTHING for the mama (looks wise). 

Julian Newborn | NorthGlow Photography

BUT I'm pretty sure Mama is okay with that. 

Julian Newborn | NorthGlow Photography

We loved his little chubby cheeks. The sweetest fair skin and light hair. We can't wait to see him get big (And find out if something will look like mommy). 

Julian Newborn | NorthGlow Photography

Newborn sessions are my specialty. I loves making them fit into exactly your style. This session was at the studio. Inside and outside. You relax, we will pick things out for you and then show you and pose you just right!

Moving Home to Iceland

This family came in to get some portraits from their temporary home in Rochester before moving back to their home in Iceland! 

Moving Home to Iceland | NorthGlow Photography

Their little lad was fairly exhausted! But honestly, it made him even cuter. If that is possible.

Moving Home to Iceland | NorthGlow Photography

He laughed only when tickled. And he would shake his head no if he didn't like something we were showing him to make him laugh. Ha! I loved it.

Gavin Newborn | Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer

Yessssss!!! They had more babies. (I think all their friends and family agree!). They make beautiful ones and I love getting to hang out with them. 

Gavin Newborn | NorthGlow Photography

I went to their home. And I love that. We walk around and find cute spots. We use your things. The kids hang out and relax. It really is a beautiful way to capture this. (Unless you love props, if you love props and lots of choices, you will prefer the studio). 

Gavin Newborn | NorthGlow Photography

This little brother is very loved. And I think he is fitting right in!
