This is one of the most exciting times of your life and I can't WAIT to capture it for you! My newborn sessions are hybrid in that they include posed, sleepy photos of the baby PLUS a lifestyle component-- photos of the family loving on the baby.
I think it's the best of all worlds! I come into your home for these sessions. I bring everything for the baby-- all props, wraps, caps, headbands; and we work together to style the rest! Check out the galleries below to see what I'm all about!
Check out some Featured newborn Sessions, too!
love. Connections. Magic.
earthy in-home newborn session
When the big brother still seems like a baby himself (although huge next to his newborn sibling), I get creative with the session. This big brother did not want to hold his baby brother by himself, but he was happy to give hugs and kisses with mom's protective arms around him.
I loved the earthy-planty vibe in this home and tried to play that up in the session. There were more sweet moments than I can count.

sweet rainbow baby girl session
Nicole and Ross brought home their rainbow baby girl to big brother pup Milo and he was so incredibly sweet with the baby. He was still a bit afraid of this new being in the house but added such a precious aspect to the newborn session.
We spent most of the session in the nursery and many quiet moments where the family was just cuddling this little long-awaited miracle babe.

cozy winter newborn session
Brett and Blake had been waiting to adopt for years. One day they were finally called-- they had a baby and had to pick him up the next day.
This was a special session because these two dads were still in a sort of shock when we met. They had quickly made their house baby ready,,, and baby boy was an absolute dream.

book two sessions at a savings
This is for moms-to-be who want to capture it all-- their last moments with their old family dynamic and their first moments with their new one.
We will book both sessions in my calendar and plan them in tandem. Maternity sessions booked with the maternity/newborn session bundle are given exclusive access to a digital-only gallery. You even have options like having the maternity and newborn session photos included together in the same photo book or having a family film created that contains footage from both sessions.

Your NJ Newborn Photography
Congratulations!! You are so close to having your baby and I can't wait to celebrate with you and freeze these beautifully surreal moments for you. This may be your first baby, a rainbow baby, an adopted baby, your sixth baby-- in each of these instances, it is so important to have this time documented.
As a NJ newborn photographer, I am here to walk with you every step of the way. I make the process easy and stress-free... and take care of all the details! Newborn sessions are in the comfort of your own home and include posed, sleepy photos AND lifestyle images where the whole family is loving on the new bundle of joy. I use natural light to highlight the love, the joy, the excitement-- what makes your family special.
You are counting down the days until you meet your new little one. You don't want to miss a SECOND of this special time.
Let's get the ball rolling! Reach out and let me know a bit about your vision for the session. I book newborn sessions for about 1-2 weeks after your due date. Once you have the baby and let me know, we can assess whether we need to change the date.
My number one priority is for you to be thrilled with your NJ newborn photography session from start to finish-- that means from our first "meet" all the way to you sitting back and admiring your photos on the wall!
1. Say Hello
2. planning & styling your session(s)
Once you are locked in for your session date(s), the fun really begins! I offer all of my clients access to my style guide as well as my membership to Style & Select, a shoppable style guide that helps you choose the perfect outfits for every member of your family-- and purchase items directly from the online stores. There is absolutely no need to stress about what you will be wearing!
I also send my clients a questionnaire that helps me to get to know you and your family. I want to know all about your pregnancy journey, your baby's name (if you know it!), and your vision for the session(s). I also provide all of my newborn clients with a Newborn Session Prep Guide.
I bring everything with me for the baby, including props, swaddles, sleepy caps, and headbands. Together, we will figure out all the rest of the details.
I want you to know that I am here for you throughout this entire process. Right from the start, I offer to all of my clients to hop on a video call. I can explain my sessions, my style, my prices. You can show me the rooms in your home and ask me if I think there is enough light to do an indoor session (I am sure that there is!)
You can send me your outfit choices and ask for a second opinion. You can further explain tips and tricks to get your little one to smile. I am always here to answer any questions or discuss your session with you.
3. ask me Anything
Game day! On the day of your session, my job is to make you feel amazing. Your main focus should be on that baby. I also make sure that I am making any older siblings feel special, too. I know having a new baby is a big adjustment for them, so this is always a priority for me.
We will have worked together to prepare for your session, so now, just relax! Let everything unfold and trust me to deliver you incredible images. If the session is in your home and I need to move something or clear an area that you didn't think of-- I will happily do that. I've got you!
4. let's capture those memories!
We had our session together and now I know that you cannot WAIT to see your photos! Within one day, I will send you or post sneak peaks and within one week, I will send you your proofing gallery. There, you will choose your images, collection, and any upgrades.
Once you have made your choices and paid your final invoice, I will deliver your perfected gallery within one week and your products, shortly after. I always strive to get my clients their images as soon as possible because I know how excited you are to get them into your hands and homes.

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.
Colleen & tom
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!
Maria & Dan
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.
