PARK SLOPE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | WYATT MCGUIRE

It’s no secret.  I’ve loved kids since I was one.  And my desire to be a Mother?  Probably as strong as those body builders with the nasty bulging muscles that lift trucks with their teeth.  Yes, yes, nice visual as I prepare you for pure preciousness I realize, but I kid not, my friends.  I kid not. Newborns completely steal my heart.  And Wyatt McGuire is no exception.  Sweet Wyatt was born on our country’s birthday and he lit up the world with his arrival with the spark of a thousand fireworks.

Documenting the beaming joy that only a new parent can experience as they marvel over this incredible little miracle is truly one of the greatest honors and privileges of my work and it is one of my absolute favorite times to photograph.  If I had a newborn session every day, I don’t think I would ever tire of it.  There is something so magical about this time and I truly treasure it.  Kathryn and Tim, Wyatt’s proud parents are crazy in love with this amazing new baby boy, and it’s no wonder, for baby Wyatt is an absolute angel and capturing this sweet face as he slept so peacefully brought a bright smile to all of our faces.  I hope it brings a smile to yours.

Kathryn and Tim, may the joy of parenting sweet Wyatt bring you a lifetime of laughter and happiness.  So happy for you both!

So cute! You manage to capture so much personality from even a sleeping babe! What a sweet little angel who was so tuckered out! Well done, Maggie.

MADDY TURNS 1!

I think I might be the luckiest girl on the planet.  A few weeks ago, not only did I have the privilege to be in Northern and Southern California for some amazing photographic opportunities, but I also was fortunate enough to be around my family and see my adorable niece, Madelyn, turn 1!  With Mr. Hallmark and I living across the country, we often do not have the opportunity to be around for these kinds of moments, and I can’t say enough what a delight it was to be present.  The joy of children is utterly contagious and I couldn’t keep myself from snapping away while grinning from ear to ear.  Let’s see if this face doesn’t do the same for you!

Happy Birthday, sweet Maddy!  We love you and are SO glad that you were born!!!

Every family should have a photographer within its ranks! These pics are priceless…I especially like the fmaily one with Maddy enjoying her cake. YOu’ve captured the spirit enough to make me feel like I’m almost there, Maggie May! :-)

Dottie

How absolutely adorable! The crinkled nose, the sun glasses, the cake, the kinda serious face, the precious smiles…..all so perfect. Love those pixs of her with her Papa. So much joy you captured dear daughter–one can’t help but smile and feel energized after seeing these photos. xoxox

Beth Alix

You captured some amazing shots my sweet sis! Your talent of capturing such precious moments brings tears to my eyes! I am forever grateful!

NEW YORK CITY DOG PHOTOGRAPHER: MEET PINOT

Mr. Hallmark, Sophie and I met Pinot and his wonderful owners one frigid day last Winter at the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Meet up group in New York City.  Sophie and Pinot became instant pals, so naturally, so did their doting owners.  Pinot’s parents had been wanting to have some photographs taken together since last year and we finally arranged a time last week.  We had such fun!  For the privacy of the owners, I will only be sharing a few pictures of Pinot, as I couldn’t resist keeping the cuteness of this face from you!

NEW YORK CITY NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY | TAYLOR MCGUIRE

From the moment I met Kendra, I knew she was meant to be a mother.  It’s just in her blood.  She exudes love and nurturing those she loves is as natural as breathing to her.  Kendra is the kind of person that always wears a smile on her face and in the presence of children looks as if there is no place on earth she’d rather be.  She literally basks in the joy of children and it’s such a gift to be around.  So when she and her husband, Dave, who you might recognize from their baby bump session here had their first baby girl, it was no surprise that they’d instantly be incredibly loving and wonderful parents.  And, that smile I mentioned before?  I’m beginning to wonder if their faces hurt from looking so happy all the time.  Their faces radiate nothing but joy and love and it is such a beautiful thing to witness.

Taylor Quinn McGuire, a true Irish girl, was born to her doting parents on March 17th, St. Patrick’s day.  And, she might just be the sweetest thing since sliced bread. Really, I think she might be made of pure sugar.  She is absolutely amazing and is simply BEAUTIFUL.  It can’t say what an honor it was to document this truly special time in the lives of two people I couldn’t think more of and I so look forward to sharing in their journey as they grow as a family for many years to come.

Congratulations Kendra and Dave, Taylor is an absolute angel!

So much love,

Maggie

THE MCGUIRES’ LITTLE BABY BUMP

Kendra and Dave have to be one of my favorite couples of all time.  There is no doubt about it: they are made for each other.  They are one of those couples that make me love love even more, and that make others around them smile because of their genuine and visible love for one another.  They treat each other like their love is precious – like they are the luckiest people in the world to be with the other and I adore them and their relationship so much.  This March, Kendra and Dave are expecting their first child, a baby girl, and they couldn’t be any more aglow about it, and when I look at these photographs, I can’t help but feel equally as joyful.  Their faces radiate with such happiness and I think it’s simply contagious.  I hope you catch it.

P.S  Kendra, you are absolutely stunning.   B-e-a-utiful!!!

Love that shot with the rings on her belly! So creative and such beautiful emotions you have captured!! Love you sis-Jen

beautiful shots, maggie! there is just something about baby shoes… gets me every time! :)

Kendra McGuire

Maggie, I am simply speechless…..and my eyes are filled with tears! These photos are absolutely beautiful!! Your talent is truly immense and I am honored beyond words that you took the time to photograph us. These photos will be treasured forever! THANK YOU!!!!

Maggie, you are such a wonderful photographer! It’s very visible in your pictures that you make people feel comfortable, and that’s a special gift. All my best to you! – Camilla Martin
