If you’ve been around the blog, you know that I LOVE my Little Loves portrait sessions. These classic and simple portraits are a wonderful way to document your little ones – as they are, right now, forever. I truly believe that there is never a bad time to take photos, and as your kids grow […]

Who says cake smashes are just for one year olds?! My son did cake smashes all the way up through his fifth birthday, and I’m sure he’ll want one again as he gets older. So of course with our daughter’s second birthday this month, I knew we had to do a sweet little cake smash […]

Christine and Sondra are expecting their first baby. We planned to have a maternity session in my Saratoga Springs studio to celebrate the upcoming arrival of their little one. But, life had other plans. Christine was hospitalized at 33 weeks for HELLP syndrome, which is a very rare complication in pregnancy affecting less than 1% […]

Happy birthday, Maverick! This cute little guy is one of our recent baby graduates of the Collective Membership. For the last year, I’ve had the joy (and honor) of photographing Maverick’s milestones. I’ve gotten to know him and his parents pretty well. I can’t believe it’s already time for his first birthday cake smash! We […]

As a family photographer, summertime means one thing: SUNSET SESSIONS GALORE! And you know what that also means? Late bedtimes for your kids – and late photo sessions in the evening!

This summer, I’ll be celebrating 12 years of running Nicole Starr Photography – and the last 8 of those years have been here in New York. None of the last 12 years would have been possible without my incredible clients. The last few years, I’ve held a Client Appreciation Event in my Saratoga Springs studio […]

Welcome to the world, Eamon! This sweet baby was born on St. Patrick’s Day, so it was important for us to include some green in his newborn portraits as a nod to his special birthday and heritage. In addition to the green, his parents loved our light blue romper and tiny teddy bear hats. I […]

I had the absolute honor of welcoming Maizie Elizabeth to my studio for her first portraits ever during her newborn session in Saratoga Springs. I adored working with Maizie and her parents. It was such a compliment to me as an artist and such a show of trust when mom said to me, “I love […]

Baby Alex is one! Alex is an extra special little guy to me because he lives in our neighborhood and is one of the 7+ babies born in the last year. It’s been such an honor to watch him grow up and to watch his dads become parents. Although I can’t believe it’s been a […]

Happy birthday, Bennett! I’m so excited that Krystie brought her sweet babies back to my studio for their youngest’s cake smash this spring. Baby Bennett is now one! To celebrate his first birthday, we created a super fun teddy bear cake smash setup inspired by the family’s trip to the Adirondacks. Bennett loved their time […]
