Many of my sessions, NJ Newborn Photography sessions in particular, are referrals from my own clients. (I have the best clients ever and no one can convince me otherwise!) This session was no exception. This dad is the brother of this dad. Isn’t it the best when siblings have kids together?! How I Run […]
This family’s story touched my heart. The mom reached out to me about scheduling a maternity and newborn session— and also wanted to add some time to the newborn session so that she could get her parents into the mix. When I sent out my pre-session questionnaire, she noted that her “story would not be […]
I photographed this family last fall and it was magical— I loved the aesthetic and the vibe that they brought to the table. Seeing someone’s home though is a next level insight into their style, the things they cherish and love. The newborn session for their second baby showed me that they love to be […]
I am finally getting around to catching up on my blogs after getting through the holiday season. I am saluting all the other parents out there who tried their hardest to give their kids a huge dose of holiday magic. You rock. I had the most magical (and funny— see post) maternity session with this […]
This mama was so excited for her newborn session for her second boy. She hadn’t done one with her first son and regretted it. And then, after being home for a short time, her baby ended up in the hospital with RSV. The session turned into a waiting game for him to be well enough […]
A fellow photographer had reached out to me and asked if I had any spots left to squeeze in a November newborn session. She was having some emergency family issues and was trying to help her clients “re-home.” I actually had ONE spot left that worked out perfectly with the timing that this expecting mama […]
When this dad reached out to me to inquire about my newborn sessions, his questioning made me ask if he was also a photographer. He was a hobbyist (you always get a little nervous shooting for another photographer!) and wonderful to work with. Normally I work with the moms for my newborn sessions but she […]
This family welcomed their third boy to the crew in September and he is just as cute as the older two! This mama is the sister-in-law of one of my other new (and amazing!) clients as of this year, so I knew this fam would be just as sweet. Dad is a high school soccer […]
As I was walking in, I noticed a Grateful Dead lawn/garden sign and thought, “Hmm that’s cool.” The dad ended up playing the band during the session and honestly, what is more relaxing than that?! (To be fair, we made it through a Disney playlist first) Big sister was so sweet and loving towards her […]
