I have decided to give something back.

I did this last year and it was such a great success I have decided to repeat it again this year.

In honor of Mother Earth and birthdays in general, I am giving one lucky couple a maternity portrait session and a newborn session.

Here it is how it works:

Anyone can apply who is expecting their baby sometimes between end of May and end of August 2009. It does not have to be your first baby.

The session will take place at a location of your choice. After the maternity session once the baby is born we’ll schedule the newborn portrait session as well.

Any couples who are interested please send me a recent photo of yourselves and a few sentences about yourselves. The last day to enter is Wednesday, April 29th by midnight.

The results will be drawn on May 1st and posted on the blog.

Please send the photos/e-mail to mariann@bluedaisykids.com

Looking forward to it!!

The fall months are usually really busy with family portrait sessions. Some kids I have been photographing for several years and it’s amazing to see how much they grow and how their personalities shape.

Here are some favorite portraits from the November and December sessions that were taken in the studio, on location and at the families homes.

Russ+Elena+Daniel (+Vina)

Russ is the big brother of Laura and Andrea, two of my brides from last year.

The whole family is so warm and welcoming; it is always so nice to see them and take their portraits.

When Russ and Elena were expecting their first child, Laura and Andrea decided to give a family portrait session as a gift. A year later I finally got to meet Daniel who is super cute and have big gorgeous eyes.

Here are some beautiful portraits of Russ, Elena and baby Daniel.

Elena loves taking photos herself and she had lots of great ideas for poses. She has already taken over a thousand images of baby Daniel.

This is Vina, the baby BEFORE Daniel.

Russ and Daniel having some father-son hang out time.

How cute is Daniel as Santa baby himself??

Andrew+Tricia+Paul

I have been photographing Paul since he was seven months old and it is so amazing watching him grow and learn over the last few years. He is over three years old now and truly loves life.

Paul loves collecting leaves, picking up worms, jumping into big piles of leaves, rolling in the grass and always with a huge smile on his face.

You can’t help but laugh with him.

Here are some of my favorite family portraits of Andrew, Paul and Tricia.

Caroline+Rob+Ella

I was so excited to see Caroline, Rob and baby Ella again. It’s been five months since I photographed their wedding and they drove all the way from Rhode Island to the city for a family portrait session. This is going to be Ella’s first winter so she is still deciding if she will like the cold weather or not. It was a bright but chilly November morning.
We took portraits all over Central Park then had a little play time at FAO Schwarz.

Here are some beautiful photos from the session.

Ella was fascinated by the fountain and the dogs in the park.

Here, Ella is showing off her newly learned tricks such as sticking out her tongue!

And a couple “newlywed lovebirds” portraits of the parents while the baby was napping.

In the toy store: Ella and her lookalike buddies.

It was so great to see Caroline, Rob and baby Ella. I had a blast taking their photos.

I hope to see you guys again soon!!
