The Pregnant New Yorker Event | New York City Newborn Photographer

If you’re expecting and want a great resource for how to prepare and educate yourself, visit The Pregnant New Yorker! This week I had the fabulous honor of speaking to a wonderful group of moms (and one dad) at The Pregnant New Yorker event at the Yummy Mummy Store on the Upper East Side.  I gave 5 easy tips on how to improve your images when taking pictures of your children along with easy tips on finding time to display your beautiful family on the walls. To me, that is the most important thing to encourage all families to do. If you are taking great images of your family and not putting them on display to remind you daily of the memorable moments you’ve created, you are doing yourself a huge injustice!  Nothing makes me smile bigger after a hard day of work than seeing a beautiful moment from my life on the wall when I walk in the door.

Thank you Janet for the images of me speaking!

I can’t tell you how much I learned from all of the extremely knowledgable speakers on everything from newborn CPR to Financial Planning for your new family. Janet, the founder of The Pregnant New Yorker, brings together so many experts to educate and help expecting moms learn all there is to know about being pregnant and giving birth. I HIGHLY recommend you attend an event if you are expecting. You will get a wealth of knowledge all in one place and in a small, intimate setting.

If you are pregnant, you have to visit Maternal Massage and More for the perfect prenatal massage to relieve all your aches and pains.

Katie Linden is a Health and Wellness Specialist representing Arbonne products educating us on what is really in your skin care and beauty products.

Dr. David Gurley, an integrated Medicine Physician, explained how to optimize health and nutrition during and after pregnancy.

Debra, the owner and Director of Prenatal Yoga Center, explained the importance of having a strong body before having a baby. It can help tremendously during delivery and after having your baby. Don’t believe me, visit her studio and take a class!

She even had the class up and moving with a few of her special moves you won’t find anywhere else!

Laura is the owner and founder of Over the Moon Baby Services and knows everything about baby safety. She taught us about newborn CPR and what to do if your infant is choking. I hope I’m never in this situation but feel empowered now that I’ll know what to do.

Rachel is a physical therapist from Renew Physical Therapy and explained everything you need to know to do a proper Kegel exercise. I didn’t realize how helpful these could be for so many reasons.
