I had the best time photographing baby Gavin for his one year portraits! I first met him when he was only days old and couldn’t get over how big he has gotten! His smile literally melted my heart and I loved his bright blue eyes. Mom and dad did so much prep leading up to the shoot, allowing us to create this “pinterest perfect” photograph collection. Everything was ready when I arrived, from the balloons to the mirror, and from the crate to the cake. Mom and dad had sent me a bunch of ideas before the shoot giving me fresh inspiration and great artistic direction. Baby Gavin was simply put, the best!!! Here are a few of my favorite – though this was tough to narrow it down to just a few photos. 
I loved photographing this gorgeous family at my Edgewater studio. I first met them when big brother was born (http://photographybyasiya.com/blog/2014/04/baby-boy-parsippany-newborn-photographer-parsippany-nj/) and it was so special to see them again during such a happy time. Mom brought some amazing props to the shoot; the sign board, which she purchased from amazon, was a fun way to spunk up some of the photos. I also love the fresh flowers mom said she picked from her garden prior to the shoot. They look so amazing and were a great way to create beautiful nature inspired images. In studio, I have tons of props available and clients who come to the studio generally choose 2-3 props to use. The major difference between having a shoot at home verses in the studio is the number of props that are used. Here are some of my favorites from our session together.
I loved photographing these two families on the Jersey City waterfront. The weather couldn’t have been more pleasant. The view of lower Manhattan from Liberty State Park is one of my all time favorite places to admire the NYC Skyline. This shoot was an hour, plenty of time for candid and posed photos. I love keeping sessions fun as everything translates on camera. When working with families, I love hearing their ideas and creating images I know they will cherish over their lifetime.
Liberty State Park is an amazing location not only because of the views but also because of the abandoned train and memorial. It’s such a fun location to have a photo shoot. It was hard narrowing my selection as this shoot yielded so many gorgeous photos.
I had the best time photographing this gorgeous baby girl in my Edgewater studio. She visited me from her home in Nutley, New Jersey. Her parents brought a special outfit from India for her to wear for the photo shoot! I love all the yellows and gorgeous rich tones in all of these photographs. 
I had the best photo shoots today in my studio in Edgewater. My morning family visited me from Fairlawn, NJ. There were so many precious moments during the shoot, and this was definitely my favorite. Mom brought this adorable stuffed animal with her to be included in the photographs. Baby cracked the most adorable smile while we were taking this photograph. How sweet are these two?
