$185 Spring is right around the corner! Sure, there is still at least half a foot of snow on the ground, and below freezing temperatures at night don't particularly scream "SPRING", but ... it's in the air! The sun is getting more and more amiable and affectionate towards the frozen earth, birds dare to chirp basking in the sun rays, and more and more often I find myself stepping in the poodles of melted snow rather than black ice. So,…
Home newborn sessions have become increasingly popular in the past year. During the pandemic, people feel safer and more in control if they are doing their newborn photoshoot in the vicinity of their own houses. While, with all the precautions we take at Hudzen Photography, studio photo sessions are very safe, conducting newborn photography at home has certain appeal to it: it's just plain easier for the new parents. You don't have to pack the diaper bag, rush to be…
Undoubtedly, doing a newborn photoshoot for a family where the newborn is the first child, is quite different from a newborn session with older siblings. There is more noise, more jokes, and more fun! For all newborn sessions, it's important to get the whole family in the picture. It's even more so if the baby has siblings. It's critical to do siblings photos with all and each child, to do newborn pictures with mom and dad, to show the love,…

Sara contacted me about a newborn photoshoot for her newly arrived bundle of joy when the baby was already 2 weeks old. While the best time for a newborn session is within the first 10-14 days (this is when the babies are still super sleepy, super flexible, and super squishy), it doesn't mean that you can't get cute posed shots with older babies. True, you may not be able to get a baby into a super curly pose, but it's…
A proud home owner, she wanted to celebrate this new chapter of her life. And, get new Christmas cards , of course :) I am so glad that she did! Her yard is a dream for a family photographer...
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and with it, the everlasting question of what gift to make. Soon, all lovers will be rushing to the stores to get another teddy bear to add to their lover's collection of dust-collecting toys, or will indulge in sugary delights - just in time before their next dentist's visit, or will impatiently try to snatch the overpriced yet withered symbol of love - a red rose. I have a better Valentine's Day gift…
Smiley, giggly, truly lifestyle portraits are a wonderful way to preserve memories. You open your album, with kids by your side, and your hot wine (yes, there is such a thing!) or hot chocolate on your coffee table, and slowly turn matte pages pondering over each little detail, each playful gaze, each considerate touch. You smile, and reminiscence, and an occasional nostalgic tear wells in your eye. That's the beauty of a lifestyle family photoshoot. But, there is a different…
It's no secret that maternity is a truly special time in a woman's life (well, the family's life, really). Some women cherish their pregnant bodies and this time of expectation, preparation, and pondering, while others hope to get through it as quickly as possible, to finally meet the new center of their life. Whichever side of spectrum you are on, it's worth stopping for a minute, looking in the mirror, and seeing the inner glow, the beauty, the harmony…
