This Is The Good Part.

If someone would’ve approached 25 year old me and told me that the best years are yet to come, I would've thought they were out of their mind. Yet here we are, creating little humans. Feeling a love like we’ve never known before. THIS is the good part. This is what it's all about.


I am Leonarda Barbieri, a New York based photographer specializing in Maternity & Newborn Sessions. My husband and I have been married since 2015. We have 3 babes, Cole (8), Dylan (6) and our little lady, Nora (2).

 

Mama's, I know what its like to look in the mirror at that growing belly. Sometimes we feel super cute, while others we just feel like we're waddling through each day. I also know that these are moments we can't recreate. This time, right now, growing these babes will be a distant memory. I want you to see yourself through my eyes. I want to show you how beautiful you are.

 

Although I know my family is complete, I can't stress enough how much I LOVE newborns. I can't believe that this is my job. I get to hold them, and pose them, and capture these first moments for you as a family. 

 

I have a Bachelors Degree in Communications with a focus in Media. I am certified with Ana Brandt Newborn, The Milkyway & The Belly Baby summit for infant safety in posing for Photography. I attend workshops every year for both Maternity & Newborn to learn and refresh my skills so you know you are in the best hands and care. 

 

With love,

Leonarda

"Leonarda did newborn photos for my daughter and we had such a great experience! She was so kind and patient. I trusted her immediately with my baby and baby was so comfortable with her and in all of the poses. The entire session felt very calm and relaxed. She had so many beautiful props and wraps, hats, and headbands for baby to wear and her work is beautiful! I highly recommend Smile for Mama photography!"
