Baby "D"'s 6 month shoot: Manhattan- Nicole Taylor Photography: Connecticut Family Photographer


Nothing is better then watching a baby change so much in it's first year of life.. That is what makes my " Baby Stages" package so perfect. Not just for my clients, but for me as well, as I get to enjoy each precious stage of a baby developing into toddlerhood . TO be able to look back and smile , thankful, grateful to have been welcomed into a families life and be able to capture those early days up until this last moment and beyond.
The first time I saw Baby "D' was at his mothers Shrimant ( Indian Traditional Baby shower) , and he wasn't even born yet. Then I was overjoyed when his parents came to me again, askign that I capture his first year of life. Thus it began at his 3 month session. Quite a change in such a short period of time. At 6 months old he's actually excited and happy to see me..... and laughing with me :-) ! ! ! ! The best audience a person could ask for when you're singing silly songs and making corny faces. .... I just can't wait for his 9 month shoot.

The " A" Family : Nicole Taylor Photography: Connecticut Family Photographer

Family Picture weekend ! ! ! Yesterday I did a post on Baby "L" and her siblings, well today I will do one on her cousins "M" & "L" who I had the opportunity to do a mini session for yesterday.
I've photographed M a few times and be as it may though , as "L" is only 6 months old, he's already been in my portfolio a few times as well. I was there to witness and capture his first breath when he was born. To see him becoming such a clone of his big brother has been nothing short of a blessing. I LOVE this family!

Thank you Alicia and MIchael for inviting me to capture some of the most intimate times in your lives as a family!
Words can't express how appreciative and how wonderful it has been to have these times to get to know you and see your boys grow.

Yes I'm feeling the black and whites lately!

Sibling Love - Nicole Taylor Photography : Connecticut Child Photographer

ALright, well yes, I'm a bit lagging on my blog. Between a hectic season over the past few months, moving within the last month and crossing over from PC to MAC in the past 2 weeks ( a move I'm still deciding was worth it or not , but have to admit... the 27" screen IS SWEET! ) I've fallen a BIT behind on the blog updates and facebook updates. SO my apologies to everyone that follows one or both.
With wedding season slowing down, I assure you I will be working my way backwards on my blog so nothing is left out. ;-)

Starting with yesterdays session with some sibling love. This was more of a session with Baby "L" but we still had to take some shots of her with her brother and sister. A little brisk outside but soo beautiful for a week before Thanksgiving, so despite her mom wanting fairy pictures of her indoors, we opted for some cute outdoor shots also. How perfect to use with the holiday card templates I am offering to my clients this year.

Some shots from our shoot and check out the slideshow at the bottom! :-) Don't forget to leave some Blog love!

We have been Elved!

So yes from time to time I jump the gun in the spirit of the holidays . I can't help myself because this Elf Yourself program always cracks me up. Not to mention there is nothing greater then hearing the laughter of my two boys upon watching themselves dancing around in elf costumes and wondering how daddy knew how to do a cart wheel.

We had a great laugh with this one and probably wore it out after the boys kept laughing to us to play it again!

So go ahead and elf yourself and share it with us as we have shared ours with you! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :-)
