This is my beautiful friend Joanna! I love photographing pregnant women, especially first time moms, they are soo excited. I wish I had thought to do maternity photos, it is such a quick moment in time and such an important one.

I’ve decided to start a new segment on my blog to help my clients with ideas of what to wear for their photo sessions and where they can buy it local. If you have any store recommendations in the surrounding Westchester area I would love to hear them, please leave a comment at the bottom of this post.
AURORA 1 King St Chappaqua
My first store I found through Facebook. Nestled in the corner at the beginning of King St in Chappaqua is Aurora. This store is filled with beautiful and unique items. Owner Dawn was very welcoming and a pleasure to meet. This is what Dawn had to say about her store:
Started in may 2011, Aurora’s mission is to bring fair trade and beautiful handmade jewelry, clothes, accessories and gifts to Westchester co. Owner Dawn Greenberg is a mom of two young boys and is committed to bringing joy to her customers while helping global artists improve their lives. Aurora is a store by and for women. Open 10-530 daily except closed Sundays in August.
Check out Aurora on Facebook they have a contest running through the end of the month!
Here are some photos of my beautiful friend Michelle modeling some of Aurora’s clothing and accessories. (pants and footwear are Michelle’s)
The jewelry below is from local designer Laurie Berg. We had the pleasure of meeting her that morning at the store. Stop in and see this gorgeous jewelry for yourself or check her out on Facebook
MARMALADE 29 King St Chappaqua
Located just a couple stores down from Aurora is another great store, Marmalade. If you are looking for great frames for your photo sessions or jewelry to wear in your photos this is a great place to check out. They also have many other unique items from baby gifts to bedding. It’s a fun store! Click here to check the store out on Facebook. Owner Cindy loves to stock her store with treasures you would love to give to someone as gift!
So get out there, get shopping local and support these women! Tell them I sent you. And please show them some love and “like” their Facebook business pages.
If you have any other suggestions of stores in the area please share in the comments section below.

Love all your photos and do not know how to choose? Then a Photo Book is a great option. These books are professionally printed on heavy semi gloss stock paper. The books are hinge bound allowing for the pages to lay open flat so no detail is missing from your photos. There are many choices for the covers, you can choose a custom photo cover, or go the more traditional route with fabric or leather. Contact me for pricing details.
One of the fun things about being a photographer is getting to see old friends with their new families, and capture memories for them. These three had a ton of energy, I managed to get a great photo of them all together in the beginning of the session (which does not always happen) and then just kind of let them run loose. It was fun!
