Hello Baby!!

Happy New Year! New Year, New Baby. Well I thank God, 2011 was phenomenal. I can't say enough about all the lovely couples I met shooting and also second shooting on occasion with other photographers. Here's to another great year 2012 and I know it will be amazing - I will blog better this year and share more of my work with you all. Thank you for sticking with me. The encouragement of all the couples, babies, children, friends and family along the way have certainly helped keep me going. As anyone who follows this blog by now would've deduced, I love dem babies and what better to open the new year with but the most scrumptious newborn shoot! Meet Jordan...



And let me say here, seeing as it's a new year and there will be new babies this year; mommies: 14 is the magic number for a newborn shoot. I repeat: 14 is the...lol but seriously, newborns are best captured within the first 14 days of life if you are looking for a newborn shoot (one day, no, one hour after that, well let's just say we got to call them "oldborns" and you will understand why when you have your baby!). So I said all that to say, holla at your girl soon as your baby lands and I will fit you in the calendar - shameless plug I know :) but I will make it happen I promise.

Look for more details on the newborn/baby/toddler sessions Chocolate Photography NYC will be offering in 2012 in a future post.

Now this baby was a Christmas season baby :). Jordan here is a super heavy duty chunk of joy, a tank of cuteness lol (he weighed in at 9lbs and then some). He is big and strong, don't mess with him, I did and found out soon enough what heft I was dealing with lol. Indeed I looked very forward to meeting this bundle of joy as I shot his mommy's maternity session last year. His mom is half of one of my fave sets of twins :) so that makes him pretty special too. Time for the photos to do the talking - enjoy my fun afternoon with Baby J!
