[Maternity Session Spring Lake, NJ]

Leave a comment

For this awesome session I was back at one of my favorite parks in Spring Lake. We had the best spring day and the weather was perfect. Mom, dad and big sis were ready to go for our sweet maternity session and it was so fun talking with them about the arrival of another baby girl! We explored the park and found the best places to take photos but my favorite part was when big sis was my big helper! Whenever mom and dad were taking pictures together, big sister would stand right next to me to make sure mom and dad were smiling and posing nicely! It was so sweet! I can’t wait to meet this new baby girl soon!

[Maeve’s Baptism at Faith Lutheran Church]

Leave a comment

Anytime I get to photograph my niece is one of my favorite moments! Although I was busy with Godmother duties for most of the day, I of course brought my camera along to capture any sweet moment that I could during Maeve’s baptism. Maeve was baptized at the beautiful Faith Lutheran Church in New Providence, NJ. She was the only baby being baptized during the church service and it was so special to have our family and friends front and center to witness it! Maeve loved watching everyone at church and although she didn’t love the actual water on her head, she did amazing! The best part was that Maeve wore the same baptism dress that my sister and I wore when we were baptized! After the beautiful ceremony, we celebrated with everyone and it was so fun! It was the perfect day for a perfect girl!

[Family Beach Session Brick, NJ]

Every time I photograph this family, it’s always so fun! We’ve returned for the beach during this sunset session and the kids loved it! From sitting for photos with mom and dad to running/trying to crawl through the sand, this crew was ready for fun! We had the perfect weather and the sunset was amazing! My favorite part of this session however was towards the end when big sister decided it was time for swimming! She changed out of her dress and got right into her bathing suit! I loved watching her run up and down the beach and say hi to the waves! The best!

[Family Beach Session Mantoloking, NJ]

I love an extended family photo session! It’s so special when families get together for vacation and decide to get photos done. It’s such a great way to capture the memories and fun had during a family vacation. This family was so sweet and our session was awesome! We met at their vacation house and walked up the hill to the beach in Mantoloking. We had a beautiful, blue sky and the dunes made for a perfect backdrop. After our beach photos, we went back to the house, which was right on the water, and did more photos with the boats passing by in the background! It was the best way to spend a summer afternoon!

[Addison’s First Birthday Spring Lake, NJ]

Leave a comment

I’ve been photographing this sweet family ever since little Addison was born! We did all her milestone photos and I’ve loved watching her and her big brother grow up! We went to the beautiful Divine Park in Spring Lake and we had the best lighting! We posed with some balloons and ran around the park all while capturing sweet baby Addison. Then we headed up to the beach to take more photos with the whole family! The kids loved playing in the sand and walking on the jetty with mom and dad! Happy First Birthday Addison!

[Welcome Baby Jordan Spring Lake, NJ]

This is the second newborn session I’ve done where the family was either renovating their house or had just moved into a new house which meant I had a big, empty room with tons of natural light! That was the case for this perfect session! The living room was empty, had beautiful floors and paint and so much gorgeous light from the windows! It was the perfect place to capture Baby Jordan and all of his cuteness! We started with some special outfits and blankets before getting swaddled and cozied up! Then Jordan’s big brothers and sisters joined in and that’s when the silliness started! These kiddos were so fun and giggled probably the whole time we took pictures, which honestly was the best! Finally Baby Jordan got some snuggle time with mama before we were finished! This session was so sweet and so much fun! Welcome to the world sweet boy!
