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!)

Luke’s Adorable Newborn Session

Newborn Session with Family Portraits before session. Beautiful baby boy in a yellow wrap, Photographs by Bokeh Love Photography.

Filed in:

Covid 19 has impacted our lives in so many different ways. For instance, you may have lost people near and dear to you, had to stay home and quarantine, or have your newborn session at home! However you are coping with this pandemic, please know that small businesses are able to still help you with your needs, however, we are operating a little bit differently as of late.

This beautiful baby girl made her appearance a little bit early, and during this pandemic. Therefore we couldn’t have an in studio session because of social distancing, however – we found a way!

This session was very planned out.

I spoke to Mom about expectations and how the session would go. I dropped off newborn fabric wraps and headbands and directions ahead of time on how to wash and sanitize the items to protect her baby and the fabrics as well. She was able to select which colors she wanted to use, and then when I showed up we were able get to work!

Taking care of baby:

Because of social distancing and the delicate immune system of a newborn baby, I advised Mom that I can not touch her new bundle of joy. The health and safety of newborn babies and their families is always my number one concern. Therefore, Mom had to wrap her little one on her own (Which honestly, made for some beautiful images that she will remember forever!) She wrapped her like a pro! I am so proud of her, and how well she was able to listen to direction and help make this session even more beautiful!

How did I protect the baby? Good question!
1. No contact at all!
2. I stayed 6ft-12ft away at all times
3. I shot with a 70-200mm Lens (I shoot Nikon, you can find the exact lens I shoot with by clicking here, and the exact body I shot with by clicking here).
3. I allowed Mom to pre-wash the materials in her own laundry soap and/or lysol the day before the session. I prefer Dreft for all of my wraps.
4. I wore a mask the entire time. I highly recommend whichever mask you get, you should also purchase filters and cut the back of your mask open and pop in a filter. Not all masks are made to prevent viruses from getting through the fabric. Having a filter helps with that.
5. No hand shaking Mom, Dad or Kids! No contact at all!
6. I also keep hand sanitizer on me as well as disinfectant wipes.

Some extras:

In addition to all of this hard work (Thanks Mom!), I also snuck in some composites too! Composites are digital images that give you that studio look, but are purely digital. That is where my photoshop skills come in handy! (Thank you college education and the Digital Art and Design Program at LIU!)

Anyway, let’s get back to this newborn session at home! It’s not every day that your clients front yard looks like a park! How gorgeous is this! Check out the images and just look at how adorable this little one is, and how perfect their family has become.

If you are planning on having a baby, or if you are approaching your due date and you need a newborn photographer, I would love to photograph your newborn session at home! Once we have the clearance to go back to studio sessions without social distancing, then newborns will be okay to photograph! Until then, we will do our very best to stick to the guidelines set by NJ.

Mom did an AMAZING job at wrapping her own little bundle of joy! I am so proud of her!

Having a baby is hard work! I know, I’ve had 3 babies myself. So having to wrap your own baby, during your little one’s newborn session is HARD! But during the time that we are going through right now, things are so unknown, and scary, that we really need to think about the safety of our children. Newborn babies especially, do not have their immunizations yet, and can’t fight off a virus that lets say you or I could fight off. Therefore, if Mom is able to wrap her own baby, it’s safer all around for everyone. We have to come together as much as we can right now to keep each other safe.

This has been such a fabulous year for me and my business, and Everleigh’s Newborn Session in South Jersey, is one of my favorite!

I have met so many beautiful little babies, and been able to document this special moment in their lives. When a baby is born, it’s a huge milestone, not just for the baby, but for Mom and Dad too! They are now parents, and they want to, and should celebrate.I had the honor of meeting Miss Everleigh for her newborn session in South Jersey for an in home session, and could not believe how amazing of a little dreamer she was! Everleigh slept the entire time, and was such a well behaved little lady. I know what you’re thinking, aren’t ALL newborns well behaved? Babies need a ton of sleep after they make their appearance into our world, but that doesn’t mean they don’t cranky! Just like adults, when we need our sleep, we need our sleep. Before your newborn session, I email you tips and tricks on how to have the very BEST newborn session. Things like, giving baby a bath, keeping baby awake, and playing with toes and making sure baby has a full belly. You’re getting to know your new baby, just as your new baby is getting to know you, so your little one will be interested in whatever you have in store for them! Keeping them awake, will help them get super tired, so once it’s time for their newborn session… they’re going to sleep, well, like a baby!

I can’t wait to document Miss Everleigh’s future milestones! Baby girl, I can’t WAIT for your cake smash! I just KNOW she will be ready for her closeup!

Everleigh’s Newborn Session in South Jersey

If you read my blog, you know I was SO excited to photograph my cousin’s maternity session. Well, her sweet baby girl made her appearance shortly after and is absolutely stunning! She looks just like a baby doll! I was so happy she chose me to photograph her little one when there are so many other amazing photographers in NJ. Being a Newborn Photographer near Atlantic County NJ had made my life so much more amazing, because I get to meet happy little babies and take beautiful images of them. Of course I love when they are awake and bright eye’d, it’s so much easier when they are fast asleep in dreamland. Miss Emma was awake for most of the session, but she fell fast asleep toward the end, and I was able to capture beautiful images of her while she was sound asleep. The beautiful headbands you see I made myself, which I am so proud of, except for the jeweled on at the end, that was mine and I thought she needed some princess bling. Emma’s nursery is purples, so I thought this beautiful mauve would be a great addition to her walls. Not too bright, but perfectly neutral to showcase all of her gorgeous features.

Yey! You’re expecting! It’s time to start looking for a photographer! It’s best to schedule a lifestyle newborn session for within 1 week of your little one’s birth. Finding a photographer that you trust could take some time. So start now because finding the perfect photographer to capture beautiful memories for you and your family is so very important!

Today I had the honor of photographing the handsome Jayce Carmelo in his home for a Lifestyle Newborn Session. A Lifestyle Newborn Session is where you and baby are in the comfort of your own home, in your own environment and I come to create beautiful images for you.

A lifestyle newborn session is where I photograph them during their first week of life at home. This is a big adjustment period for all of you. You may not think about documenting these moments, however it is such a gift to have them years later to look back on. I may ask that you place them on the bed and then in their crib. You will be photographed holding your child and even changing their diaper.

Feeding your baby is so special.

It is one of those memories that we often overlook. Whether your baby is being breastfed or bottle fed, it’s a bonding moment. These moments are special and we shouldn’t just pass them by. The details are also an important part of these sessions. The way their crib looks and the ultra sound images that you have around the nursery won’t stay that way forever.

Having a professional come into your home and document these things for you with a fresh eye will help you start your little one’s legacy! As a result, you will be saving these moments for your children and what a lovely gift it is. It is definitely something they will be forever thankful for, year after year.

If you would like to schedule your Lifestyle Newborn Session, please send me an email before your baby is born, and we can figure out a plan for your session!

If you would like to have your baby’s birth photographed or a Fresh 48, we are available for hospital visits as well! Hospitals that we visit are below:
Atlantic Care, Mainland Campus in Pomona, NJ
Shore Memorial Hospital in Somers Point, NJ
*We are unable to photograph C-sections at this time, but are able to photograph natural delivery.
