Are you a mama looking for simple, elegant, beautiful photos with your children? Keep scrolling.
After I became a mom, I realized that most often, moms are the storytellers for their families. As the picture takers, how often are we IN the photos? And speaking of the thousands of photos that we have on our phones, how many of them end up on the wall or in a family album?
Let me pamper you AND give you beautiful photos with your children. Picture this: sipping champagne while you get your hair and makeup done. Your husband drops the kids off; you get to snuggle them for 15 minutes and I take care of the rest!
These kids grow up way too fast! Let's freeze time together.
I'm Kristine
I
am so excited for the opportunity to work together! And SO PROUD of you for investing in yourself.
Please be sure to review investment guide before booking a session. This is an investment of both time and money and I want to be sure all decision-makers are involved.
Choose a time from my online calendar that works best for your family. I only offer these shorter sessions once a year and they book up quickly! Be sure to reserve your spot.
Follow these tips and clothing suggestions for a smooth and successful session. You will have access to my virtual styling guide after booking your session! Session FAQs are here also.
Motherhood sessions at on April 27 at The Paris House in Long Valley, a 200 year old ivy covered historic home with beautiful gardens. Sessions include 5 digital images with print release AND simple hair & makeup before the session. Additional products and packages are available at our Viewing Session.
One week after your session, we will hop online for a viewing session to view your images and select a package. Final payment is due at the viewing session. All decision-makers should be present. This will take 30 minutes or less!
All products are custom made and take 3-4 weeks for production, with the exception of digital images, which will be delivered to you in an online gallery as soon as final payment is made. Once your order is ready, I will deliver it if you live close, or have it sent to you directly if you live a bit further away.
With Mother's Day coming up, don't you deserve to be pampered? How about a mini makeover and then photos with your kids? I promise, this will be fun and easy.
These sessions will be quick! I will not be sitting your children down and asking them to "say cheese" for 15 minutes. You will be snuggling them, playing with them, and getting 15 minutes of "special time" with them. We will be moving around the whole time so that no one is bored, and I'll tell you where to stand and how to position yourself for the most flattering photos.
After nearly 10 years of experience as a photographer, and as a mom of FIVE kids, I know how to get kids to give their real smiles and have fun during their photo session.
Plus, I will help you with styling before the session and you will get pampered with simple hair & makeup so that you look and feel your best. Sound like what you are looking for?

A Simple recap
Kristine was recommended by a friend after she had done their gender reveal and newborn shoot. Safe to say she did NOT disappoint when we booked her for our own newborn shoot with our daughter!
Kristine was not only super professional but also made us feel so comfortable. Our photos came out incredible! We loved them so much we decided to use her again for our fall family photoshoot. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful our photos are. 15/10 recommend! You will not be disappointed!

My husband and I had adopted our son without any notice (24 hours) and needed to get newborn/family photos booked asap. I’m so lucky that it was a slower time of year and Kristine was able to squeeze me in. Not only did she work us into her schedule with little notice, she drove down to my house an hour away during a snow storm…now that’s commitment! She was very patient with our son and was able to capture the perfect moments of our family. We were obsessed with all the photos and she really did capture all the best moments using just natural light. We couldn’t have been happier to work with this wonderful young lady. We plan on working with her on all future family photos now. If you're still looking, look no further as you won’t be disappointed.

Kristine was such a pleasure to work with so soon after the birth of our son. She made the newborn photoshoot experience so perfect and amazing. It was really helpful that she came to our house for the photoshoot, rather than us traveling with a newborn while we were still getting used to our bearings and adjusting to having a newborn. The turnaround in receiving the edits was also very quick - we were very impressed with how fast the whole process was and how quickly we had the final edits in our inbox/hands. The pictures were absolutely beautiful and we have received so many compliments!! Thank you so much for capturing such a beautiful time in our lives so perfectly! We also love the keepsake of the album that we received in our package. We highly recommend Kristine for any family photograph needs, we know we will definitely be reaching out to Kristine for our next family photoshoot. Thank you so very much Kristine 😊

Kristine was referred to me by a friend and she took maternity and newborn photos for us. She is very friendly and easy to work with, edits the pictures quickly, and our pictures are absolutely beautiful. We will definitely be using her in the future for more family photos! I would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Kristine! My tough cookie husband‘s exact words were “wow these rival our wedding photos as the best photos we have from our 14 years together!” Kristine's work is such a gift to our family. She was able to capture our little guys’ light and smiles and the fun we have together as a family. Kristine has a wonderful eye for artistic angles and great light. She worked wonders with our high-energy toddler, and was accommodating, quick, and professional when we needed to reschedule due to illness & when we asked for a follow-up retouch to a photo. Five stars! Hope to use her again!

Kristine is super creative, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. I was lucky to have been gifted a newborn shoot by my friend and I am so happy that I had the chance to work with Kristine. We wanted timeless family pictures with our newborn and she really captured the sweetest moments. She came all the way to our house, she brought everything that was needed for the shoot, and gave us some really useful tips to prepare ahead of time to help make the session a smooth experience, given a newborn schedule :) Highly recommended!

Where do I even begin! From start to finish Kristine was accommodating to our schedule, flexible, kind and made us feel so comfortable! Our session was filled with so many laughs and the pictures were amazing! We can’t wait to do another photo session with Kristine!! Highly recommend!!! Truly worth the investment and memories!

Kristine is amazing! I first met her at the Mother’s Day photo shoot and she took the most beautiful pictures of me and my little one despite us dealing with a cranky baby who had just woken up from a nap :D! I have the Mother’s Day pictures hanging all over my house and always get compliments from visitors saying they are so beautiful, natural and earthy. I recently took my maternity pictures with her and again the results were amazing. She really knows how to work the lens and capture some beautiful images full of love and light. I can’t wait until our newborn shoot in April. I highly recommend her for any of her shoots.
