maternity, newborn, child photography studio

Welcome to my blog!

Hi. My name is Amy Masser. I am the mother of two really great kids. I opened Baby Face Photography in 1997 when they were one and three. What was I thinking? Actually I know exactly what I was thinking. I couldn't find a reasonably priced creative photographer in the area that specialized in children. So I started taking my own creative pictures. When my friends saw the pictures they asked me to take some shots of their children. Pretty soon strangers were calling for pictures. I took a few classes to learn the basics of studio photography and Baby Face Photography was born. I have filled my studio with child sized props and wardrobe. Many of which are original pieces I designed and created myself. BFP caters to young families. I understand that sometimes it takes a lot of patience to get the perfect shot and I have that covered.

I think what sets me apart from other photographers is my personality. You can see it in my children as well. We are a perfect mixture of goofball and rockstar. My sister says I relate so well to children because I refuse to grow up myself. Couple that with my ability to appreciate the moment at hand and you end up with some really great images. Just because the shoot isn't going as planned, doesn't mean I am not taking pictures. Sometimes a great pout can be the perfect shot. I love to read people and engage them. I try to open them up and bring them out. I do this even when I am not behind the lens. I love to get a reaction. I entertain myself by giving the perfect compliment to a complete stranger and watching their body language change. I am always looking for the most beautiful angle or expression on every face I see. Children are by far my favorite subjects. I think it's their honesty that is so beautiful to me. A close second would be a parent holding their child. That is the picture of true love.

I absolutely love my job. Thank you to all the parents who continue to bring their beautiful families to me. Watching your little ones grow has been a constant joy. I also want to thank you for continuing to send your friends and family for pictures allowing me to continue to do what I love. See you soon.

Baby L’s Newborn Photography Session

I was a little worried when mommy said baby L was a month old and slept all the way from Virginia. No need to worry, he took his time filling his tummy up and then snuggled is for a good long sleep. Mom brought the Syracuse hat and wanted lacrosse, football and basketball stuff to go with it. While I was out in the garage digging up my son’s lacrosse stick I saw an old gym bag and came up with a new set. Turns out daddy, who wasn’t able to make it today, is a gym teacher. Perfect. Thanks for being such a good boy for me today baby L.

Baby B’s Newborn Photography Session

Tonight’s newborn session was with the beautiful baby B. Mommy’s friends have all brought their baby girls in for newborn pictures and mommy wanted to do something a little different. I love that! I usually try my new stuff out at the end of the session when the baby is just about spent and the baby usually wakes up. This was just the permission I needed to try some new ideas with a fresh baby. We got three new ones in! This little cutie pie was great for a pretty long time. Then she woke up, and was bright eyed! So we got some of that too.

Baby K’s Newborn Photography Session

One week old baby K was a little angel today. She went right to sleep and let me play with her for a long time. I had to make sure I got a good shot of her lovely long lashes. It was really nice to meet everybody.

Mother’s Day Photography Session

This is a great idea for mom. These guys were just here about 6 weeks ago for their newborn session. Yesterday they came back with their mom’s. The girls are so small 2mos and 16 mos. They wanted to get some pictures of their mom’s with them and with the girls. Only the baby cooperated with that. Luckily mom and dad are pretty realistic about the abilities of their girls and let me switch things up for big sister so we could at least get some of her by herself. All things considered I think we got some great shots.

Baby C’s One Year Old Photography Session

Baby C is one! I haven’t seen him since his newborn session. What a big boy he is. Lot’s of action! I think we were all a little beat after this one. Completely normal for a one year shoot when the baby is walking this well. Daddy brought his ukulele for the newborn session and brought it back for the one year old session. Sock monkey’s were the birthday party theme. I picked up a mini barrel at a tag sale a few weeks ago. I have been kicking a round an idea for a barrel of monkeys and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try it… if only he would have kept the sock monkey hat on for that shot. At least we got a shot of it on him with his cup cake. He looks so darn cute in it. I’m gonna work on getting a few sizes of that in the studio. Mom was the first to use her gift certificate prize from the contest. What perfect timing for her. It was great to see everyone again! I’m sorry to say the two year old session will probably be just as crazy, three will be a little easier though… Maybe we should do next year’s session on location outside somewhere.
