And the winner is...

I am happy to annouce that the winner of my free mini session is...

Alissa's friend Emily!!!

Emily - Alissa had such sweet things to say about you and I look forward to meeting you and baby Tilley. Please e-mail me (maegandougherty@gmail.com) so we can make plans!

Alissa - As a special thank you for your e-mail, I am giving you a free mini session (complete with CD), too!!! :)

Baby Trevor

I met Trevor on the day he turned one month old. Still so tiny and making those cute newborn grunting noises and wanting to be held tight and cuddled by his Mama.





What a cute profile!







Baby feet...



I love the way Mom is looking at her boys in this one...





Big brother, Spencer...




Thanks for letting me continue to photograph your growing family!

Free Mini Session!!!

I'd like to do a free mini session this month for someone special --- just because! To nominate someone you know, send me an e-mail (maegandougherty@gmail.com) about why you think your nominee should be the winner. It doesn't have to be a fancy essay; a few sentences will do! I will pick a winner this Sunday night, so get all your e-mails to me by Sunday, July 12th, at 5pm. The winner will receive a 30 minute mini session, to take place in Bergen County this month, and a CD of 10-15 pictures, along with a 5x7 print of each.

I'm looking forward to reading your e-mails!

Here are some pictures of Xander on his two month Birthday!

Brandon and Logan

This is big brother, Brandon. We had fun together, even though he would have much rather been watching the Cars DVD. I'm glad I have a few years because I don't know if I'm quite ready to have a three year old of my own yet. Brandon has a LOT of energy!







It was raining out, so we got some shots of Brandon under his undrella. Doesn't he look sweet?



And this is sweet baby Logan. Don't you love his hair?!





With mama...



I love this expression and the disappearing neck. My baby has that too. :)

Justin and Jaden - - - NYC Child Photographer

Today I met these two beautiful boys. Justin greeted me at the door with a hug, always a nice way to start a photo shoot!



He has eyelashes like I've never seen before. Here they are close up! (He really liked to get close to my camera!)



I noticed later that he definitely got his lashes from his mama.



Here's his baby brother, Jaden.





Learning how to walk...



Having fun with Daddy...



Thanks for a fun morning, guys!

July Mini Sessions - - - NJ Photography

Instead of offering a day or two of mini sessions this summer, I've decided to do a special for the entire month of July! This is perfect for you if you've had a session recently, but your little one is growing up way too fast, or if, like so many of us unfortunately understand, a full session just isn't in the budget right now. Either way, it's a fun way to spend an evening and get some nice new pictures of your sweet baby (of any age!)

Here are the details:

30 minute portrait session
Weekday evening in July
Location near Maywood, NJ
10-15 pictures presented in online gallery for 5 days (or longer if you purchase CD)

$250 includes the session and $150 credit for a la carte items (see details section of http://www.maegandougherty.com/ for a la carte pricing), along with option to purchase CD of all images for additional $250.

Since a blog post is way more fun with pictures, here are some shots of my sweet baby hanging out on my bed this morning. As I type this, he is napping next to me and I am loving the sound of his snoring!

Parents - If you have a fluffy solid colored comforter, your bed is the perfect place for baby pictures!







Don't you just want to pick him up and snuggle with him?
