How is he already 4 years old?  When I look back at my clients and realized I have photographed their children since they were babies, I really get a chance to sit back and think about how much I really do love what I do. Amanda and Marc were once a Bride and Groom of mine and they have become long term clients and friends! I have watched their family grow and I have photographed each one of their children from their newborn session. The trust I am given with this special task, is beyond anything you could ever imagine.

Welcoming a new member into the family is a joyous occasion that deserves to be celebrated and cherished. Luke’s newborn session was perfection! From the cozy wraps to the family portraits, every detail was carefully curated to remember the essence of this beautiful moment in their lives.

The Drabkoski family’s portraits (at the beginning of the newborn session) was a heartwarming moment filled with laughter, love, and the undeniable charm of baby Luke and his two older brothers. afterward, the cozy studio was adorned with soft blankets, delicate props, and a warm ambiance. This created the perfect backdrop for a session that would etch these memories into the family’s heart forever.

Luke, the newest addition to the Drabkoski family, stole the spotlight with his adorable expressions.

My favorite pictures are those where Luke is dressed in a vibrant yellow wrap, with a little lion in tow. He exuded strength, charm and warmth.

The session wasn’t just about Luke. The session was an opportunity to capture the entire Drabkoski family in a series of heartwarming family portraits. From the proud parents beaming with joy to the siblings eagerly welcoming their newest brother. Every moment was a visual narrative of the family’s love and connection.

Newborn photography is an art that goes beyond just “snapping pictures”.

It’s about capturing the tiny details that make each baby unique. To Luke’s tiny fingers and tiny toes were documented with care and precision. The session also featured a variety of sets that showcased his adorable personality. Peacefully sleeping in a basket or giving a tiny yawn, each pose captured a different facet of Luke’s early days.

Luke’s newborn session was a delightful experience that beautifully captured the essence of this special time in the Drabkoski family’s life.

From the loving family portraits to the adorable poses of baby Luke, every image is a testament to the joy, love, and excitement that comes with welcoming a new life into the world. These photographs will be a cherished reminder of infancy, allowing the Drabkoski family to relive this time when they glance at their walls. (And oh how I love seeing the beautiful images I create on the walls of my clients homes!)

Hot Cocoa Cup Sessions are a lot of work, but they are so adorable. Your babies are only little once, why not take every possible moment to capture how cute they are!

What to expect at a Hot Cocoa Cup Session, aside from your adorable baby/toddler in a cocoa cup:

•What’s the cut off age? These sessions are perfect for sitters to 4 or 5 years old. We have two difference sized cocoa cups, one for the smaller babies and one for the large toddlers/kids. After 5, it gets a little tricky because of their size, and ability to fit into the cup comfortably.

•What’s in the cup? A mixture of warm water and chocolate milk. Please let me know ahead of time if your child has an allergy and we can adjust our ingredients. We also include giant marshmallows.

•Is it warm in your studio? Yes! We keep the heat cranking during these sessions because it can get chilling and uncomfortable sitting in liquid! We also have towels ready.

•What to bring? Bring a warm change of clothes. A towel or two. Your child’s favorite snack, in case they don’t like marshmallows. (For example, a gingerbread cookie, crackers, etc.) Baby wipes, in case there is drool or food on your child’s face. Expect to be hands on to help things run smoothly!

•What should they wear? You can dress your child in some festive clothes! The best thing to do is have them wear a swim diaper, and a red/white bathing suit, suspenders and a bow tie, fun barrettes for their hair, or even a top hat, or bonnet!

•Do you have props? I do have props available if you would like to use them! I have things like fun headbands, bonnets, etc. (My prop collection is ever growing!)

Hot Cocoa Cup Sessions are a lot of fun for both the parents and the child. We try to make it a good experience, and encourage little ones to splash! They don’t need to look at the camera, I actually prefer them to enjoy the moment and have natural smiles and interact with the marshmallows, and hot cocoa. Which, is just warm liquid. It’s a unique experience that they won’t be able to do forever. Don’t miss out on this, because in the blink of an eye, they’re too big and you’ll miss out. Don’t miss it. Even if you think it’s silly, you’ll look back and be so happy you did it.

Our 2023 sessions came to an end and I am so excited to announce that I will be offering them again in 2024. Currently, I am planning to have them in early November. Save the date, and if you’d like to book early, booking is now open for November 2024.
