Maegan Dougherty Photography » NJ Birth and Family Photographer

Today was Leila’s first Birthday party, so we did a little mini session before all the partying started.  My favorite part – Leila snapping her fingers!

So cute!

Love them!!!

Amazing Maegan!!! I can’t believe how fast you got so many done!!! I love them all! 🙂 Thank you thank you thank you!

If you have a 6-9 month old and don’t have a family portrait session scheduled, do it now!  This is such a cute and precious age.  It’s true that they all are, but it is just amazing how quickly little ones go from baby to big kid.

Yesterday I met Olivia, who is 8 months old and full of smiles and adorable expressions, and she danced for her parents and me, and clapped hands and said mama.  I loved watching her parents look at her…just like Paul and I look at Xander.

Share some love for this family by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post.  Once we hit 25, I start giving them extra goodies!

Once again…

If you have a 6-9 month old and don’t have a family portrait session scheduled, do it now!

Just two of my little guy from earlier this month…

He gets cuter by the day and talks all the time now…

“How are you, Mommy?”

“More more airplanes, big, over there.”

“I wuv you, Daddy.”

“Mommy…bus…work.”

Loving it.  🙂

I can’t believe this is my FIFTH year photographing Maxyne and Sadie and their beautiful mom!  We had fun hanging out by the train station in Maywood.

Love it. Dan you are going to have such a hard time choosing. Maegen does such wonderful work and she had such wonderful subjects.

M. Shereshewsky - May 1, 2011 - 5:48 pm

As usual, we have come to expect and get great pictures of our grand daughters from you. What more or less can I say but keep up the good work. It is always a pleasure to see your pictures. Thanks.

Kathy - May 3, 2011 - 7:20 pm

They are gorgeous pictures as usual! Perfect. So crisp and clear. Megan, you are amazing.

Super heroes make great big brothers…at least this one does.

I took this shot of mom and baby as I was packing up to leave. It’s one of my favorites from the day.

Pure joy…

This little girl has amazing hair (like her mom), hugged me when I’d been there only a few minutes, drew a picture of “a bad guy,” and wanted to be a princess in her purple tutu. Precious.

So glad they invited me into their home to capture these moments.

Comments = extra goodies for these guys, so be sure to leave one! 🙂
