Valentine’s Day Mini Session Collage

One of the nice things about the Mini Sessions is that there are a lot of fun things you can do with the images.  You can hand out custom Valentine’s Day cards to family, friends and classmates.  You can have a custom calendar made to enjoy throughout the year. Or you could get a custom collage like the one below.  It’s super cute to hang in your child’s room or gift to Grandma & Grandpa! There are some appointment times still available. 978 758 2804  or email: steinhoff13@charter.net

What should my little girl wear for her session?

What should my child wear for the session?  I think this is the most commonly asked question by my clients.  It’s not an easy one to answer either. Putting together an outfit for a photoshoot gets increasingly more tricky with each person you add.  You can get away with almost anything (meaning subtle or funky, not dirty or misfitted) with one subject.  In fact, you can have a lot of fun with colors and patterns when you’re only concerned with one child in the photo.  I love many of the bright and bold patterns, especially for girls.

This is a cute dress from Janie and Jack.

And here, Lipstik Girls has great green top and leggings.

Would I put them together on sisters in a photo?  NO, but invidually they are fab.

If you don’t want to spend top dollar, you need to check you Buttons and Bows Consignment Couture in Acton.  Jillian Shaw has a fabulous store full of high end consignment clothes for babies and children.


Welcome little girl

Welcome beautiful baby girl.  The sweetest newborn I’ve had to date.  She barely made a peep and let me reposition her several times.  Both Mom and Grandma were there for the shoot and enjoyed seeing Khloe in her cute poses.


If this isn’t the cutest thing you’ve seen today…

If this isn’t the cutest thing you’ve seen today…please show me what was!  The tune in the music box made this baby girl so happy.  The fact that she seemed to be controlling it, made her ecstatic!  I love the hair bow that she is wearing (from Buttons and Bows)…it adds just a touch of femininity to her very understated outfit.  We got a whole lot of smiles that I can’t wait to share with her family. I’ll add a few more on facebook too!


Etsy…have you been?

No driving necessary.  Etsy is a social commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items as well as art and craft supplies. Etsy is fun and creative!  www.etsy.com

My job for today was to photograph baby knits for Fudgie Knits on Etsy.  The baby booties are so adorable that I had to share.


The Baby Studio at Cheryl Steinhoff Photography

At least for the winter months, I have opened a studio in my home for Newborns and Babies.  It’s clean, warm, bright and comfortable.  I’m offering sessions at 11am M-F and some weekends.  Please contact me steinhoff13@charter.net for more information or go to www.cherylsteinhoffphotography.com to see more of my work.


Today’s visitor to the baby studio

I had a wonderful visitor today at the baby studio setup in my home.  He is 3 weeks old and is very strong.    This is one of the few sleeping shots I got because he loved to be awake and looking around. Thanks for visiting.


The Biggest Eyes on a Two Month Old

This baby boy has the biggest, most beautiful and aware, brown eyes I’ve ever seen on a two month old!  He loved looking at the sky and the trees. 


7 months of joy

I loved this guy so much that I wanted to bring him home.  He is so happy and chunky! I hadn’t seen him for about 6 months and it was great to see how he’s grown and changed.  His big brother had some super cute looks going on too.  Thanks for a great morning boys (and parents!).
