This client reached out to me to inquire about a maternity/newborn package and confessed that she has been feeling “a bit weepy” about her family dynamic changing in the next couple weeks. As soon as she said that, I was transported back in time to my pregnancy with my second daughter. I remember talking to […]

This session was a 75th birthday present for the mother-in-law of my client, whose own family pictures I took this past fall. She and her sisters-in-law wanted to have photos of all of the grandchildren to give to their mother. We planned to do photos of the children in each individual family together, all of […]

I squeezed this family into my ca-razy fall schedule because the mom is the sister in law of a friend/client who posted her family photos a month or so ago. I really try to honor my clients! Election Day session it was. I had met this mom before and she is a lot of fun […]

The baby was crawling around…not the parents, to be clear 😛 The little guy at this session, clearly the apple of his parents’ eyes, was so happy for most of his pictures. This location can be a bit of a photographer hotspot. This Friday evening, luck was on our side and we had the place […]

As soon as I arrived to this session, I headed to the backyard with the young girl about to receive her first communion. She was so sweet and got more and more excited about her “model” photos as time went on. She loved twirling around in her dress and showing me her special rosary and […]

The mom actually grew up around the block from my husband which was how she heard about me. She had reached […]

This family is so relaxed and always up for a good time. Since it was a cloudy day, we moved the session to the morning (it was a Sunday, so I figured the football fans would be happy). We met in the parking lot and ended up actually running into someone with whom the dad […]

This was a sweet session with my cousins. I was actually supposed to do a newborn session for this family when the baby(!) was born in February but it was scheduled for right around the time when quarantine hit. I was so happy that we were finally able to make it happen! My cousin is […]

When this mom reached out to me and said she wanted her Christmas card photos to be at the beach this year, I was super excited. I love mixing it up and that they were all about Asbury Park. Even better was that when I arrived at the session, I learned that the dad had […]

This mom was so excited for her newborn session, which she wasn’t sure she would even be able to have because, well, covid. But then the day before, she emailed me in a panic because the baby was going through a growth spurt and was having a lot of trouble sleeping, was crying much more […]
