Baby Talya: Newborn + Family Photography in Israel

Newborn family sessions are my favorite! And this session was no different – I absolutely fell in love with baby Talya and her firecracker big sister Gaya. I can already see these two beautiful sisters becoming best friends and having each other’s backs forever – there is nothing like the bond between sisters! Ilana, their beautiful mama, is a total girl-boss – rocking life as a mama and a career woman. If you want to read more about balancing motherhood and a busy career, I highly recommend visiting Ilana’s blog, Heels & Sneakers!

On a personal note, thank you Ilana and Elior for letting me dive into your little family bubble and allowing me to capture these tender moments. I have so much respect and appreciation for mamas who allow me to capture the connection between mother and baby during nursing (I don’t post any nursing shots because I believe some moments are meant to stay private for my clients to cherish forever). You have a beautiful family, my friends 🙂

Baby Maayan: Newborn Photography in Israel

Newborn sessions are where it’s at you guys! I just LOVE doing lifestyle sessions. I was so excited about this beautiful and relaxed session and loved every minute of it, and it was also Valentine’s day so it was double the love celebration. I drove all the way to Modi’in for this little boy, and I’m glad I did – this was the definition of “lifestyle” – we had fun, everyone was chill and calm, we even had time for a coffee…I’ll let the photos do the rest of the talking. And to my dear friends – congratulations on making yet another beautiful little human, he’s perfect!

Baby Hadas: Fresh 48 Photography in Israel

My dearest childhood friend had a little baby girl and I was there to document her precious bundle of joy a day after she was born. Fresh 48 sessions are very special – you get to photograph an entirely brand new human, a little person who has been earth-side for less than a day or two. It’s special, really really special. As a photographer, you have so much responsibility during a session like this – you have to be respectful of the staff, be kind to the other people in the room, make sure mama feels confident and isn’t in pain, make sure the little baby isn’t cold, make sure dad feels okay with the whole concept of a photo-shoot right after welcoming a child into the world – a lot is happening during these sessions. However, not many things are better than a Fresh 48, and the beautiful memories this type of session can provide for the family. Here is a little glimpse from our session at Rambam Hospital in Haifa.

Baby Tom: Newborn Photography in Israel

Why didn’t I post this session earlier?! I’m so weird about posting stuff – it really feels like I want to keep all of my client work for myself because I love it too much to share! I know…I’m odd…it’s all true. But whatever, I’m trying to get over my weirdness and share! And to you my dear clients – I hear you – no more password-protected galleries (unless you ask!), I’ll be sharing your images on the blog so you can easily share with your friends and family without passwords!

And now to the actual photos…

This beautiful family was an amazing treat to work with! Mama contacted me and we soon set up an early morning shoot before Big Brother was off to preschool and before dad was off to work. It was amazing! This session was the stuff lifestyle photography dreams are made of – flowy dress and gorgeous mama, cute baby, adorable big brother, chill dad, and a pup named Gizmo. I won’t say more…just look at these shots!

Baby Avshalom: Tel-Aviv Newborn Photography

My dear friends Bitania and Nadav are the coolest couple I know, and they have an equally cool baby – a little dude who is as calm as they get. Long ago, I met Bitania at university, we both took a French class and we both skipped classes as much as we could (I know…it wasn’t a good decision at all!). She’s one of those friends who you can lose touch with for years and then pick up exactly where you left off – she’s a free spirit and I just love her to bits. When she had her baby boy it was clear to me that I would snap a few photos of this little man.

So, I came to their home in Neve Tzedek and we had ourselves a calm mid-morning session. Neve Tzedek was established in 1887 and it’s buildings incorporated design elements from the Art Nouveau and the Bauhaus movements, with superb contemporary luxuries like larger than life living rooms, and extraordinary detailing. When I came up the stairs it felt like I was time traveling – I was teleported back in time and entered a different realm. Everything was perfection – an ancient stairway, the massive space, high ceilings, and antique peeling wall paint, and of course the glorious light coming from the numerous balconies surrounding their home. It was absolutely enchanting.
