It’s starting to feel like summer again… and there’s just something about this season that makes you want to hold onto it a little tighter 🤍

The slow evenings, sandy toes, your kids reaching for your hands… and for my expecting mamas — the quiet anticipation, the waiting, the becoming. These are the moments that don’t feel big right now, but somehow end up meaning everything later.

Whether you’re expecting, welcoming a new baby, or just wanting to freeze time with your family as they are right now… this is such a beautiful season to document it.

I have a couple of April and May dates left and I’m offering $100 off those sessions ✨

If it’s been on your heart, I’d love to capture this for you 🤍

There’s something I’ll never get over about the quiet of a newborn session 🤍

Everything just slows down… the softest moments, the tiniest movements, the way the whole room feels wrapped in this calm, peaceful kind of love.

Noa’s session was exactly that.

She slept like a little angel the entire time, completely content, while her parents soaked in every second of her. And of course, her sweet fur siblings stayed close, making sure they didn’t miss a thing and giving her so much love too 🐾

These sessions are never rushed… they’re gentle, slow, and full of the kind of moments you don’t want to forget.

The beginning of it all, just as it is 🤍

When Christine and I started planning her maternity session, her and her husband couldn’t totally agree on a location or style… and they were also in the middle of buying their new home to bring their baby girl home to 🤍

So I threw out the idea of doing it at home — and they were all in.

We started in the nursery, painting the walls for their baby girl… a little “under construction” in the sweetest way. It felt so special capturing them in that space before it’s filled with all the little moments to come.

Their pup was right there the whole time too, so eager to be part of it and sneaking in all the love on mama’s bump 🐾

We also spend some time in other parts of their home too snuggling up and getting messy in the kitchen, but honestly… these moments in the nursery, just the two of them (and their first baby 🐶), getting everything ready… those are the ones that feel like the beginning of it all.

So simple, so meaningful, and so them 🤍

As spring begins to bloom, so do the sweetest new beginnings 🌿

This time of year always feels a little extra magical—tiny babies arriving, families growing, and so many beautiful first moments unfolding. There’s something so special about welcoming these little lives as the world around us comes back to life.

If you’ve been thinking about capturing this season for your family, I would truly love to document it for you 🤍

I have limited availability for Spring and Summer sessions, so I recommend reaching out early to reserve your spot.

I can’t wait to meet your little one ✨

“this season, it deserves to be remembered”

Motherhood is an incredible chapter in life — a season full of firsts, quiet moments, and love that grows in ways you can’t even imagine. It’s a season worth preserving, not just for us, but for our children one day.

One of my favorite things to do with my kids — whether it’s before bed or first thing in the morning — is look back at old photographs. Not just of when they were little, but of my childhood, our wedding, the moments that made us who we are.

Photos are timeless treasures. They carry stories, laughter, and love across generations, and they’re meant to be cherished, shared, and passed down. This season, your story deserves to be remembered, too. 🤍

If you’ve been dreaming of documenting your family — maternity, newborn, or everyday moments — I would love to help you preserve this season in a way that’s gentle, real, and completely you.

One of my favorite things about being a newborn photographer is getting to witness families grow. There’s something so special about those first days of becoming parents — you can almost see the moment it hits them just how deeply they love this tiny little human they created.

The quiet snuggles, the way they look at their baby in complete awe… it’s the sweetest thing.

And I love when the family’s furr baby wanders over to check on their newest little sibling — sometimes even sneaking in the gentlest little kiss. Those little moments always melt me. 🤍

The warm weather and sunshine finally showing up has me so excited for all the outdoor sessions ahead ☀️

Sharing a few favorites from this outdoor newborn session. A brand new baby wrapped in the warmth of her mama’s arms, summer sunshine on their skin, and all the beautiful color surrounding them. Outdoor newborn sessions are so underrated — there’s just something really special about soaking in those early days like this 🤍

Also the fact that it’s going to be almost 80° this week and we’re going snowboarding is not lost on me 😂🏂

New Jersey weather really keeps you guessing.

It feels like just yesterday I was meeting this sweet couple for the first time — photographing their first little one growing in mama’s belly in the garden. And now here we are again, this time surrounded by the soft greens of the greenhouse, with baby number two on the way… and their baby girl officially a big sister.

Watching families grow and getting to witness these chapters unfold is something I’ll never take for granted. 🤍🌿

Photographing first-time parents will always feel a little extra special to me.

There’s this quiet awe in the room — the way they hold their baby a little closer, the way they watch every tiny movement, like they’re trying to memorize it all at once.

When I met their sweet baby girl, everything felt so calm and full of love. Just soft voices, gentle hands, and two parents completely wrapped up in this brand new chapter.

It’s such an honor to step into these first days and preserve the moments that feel so small now, but mean absolutely everything 🤍

Motherhood feels a lot like a greenhouse 🌿

I recently photographed the sweetest mama-to-be surrounded by layers of green — soft light pouring in, everything quietly growing in its own time. And I couldn’t help but feel how much that space mirrors motherhood.

Growth you can’t rush.
Beauty in the waiting.
Roots growing deep before anything ever blooms.

My littles need me close right now, so this season looks a little slower. More presence, more soaking in the small, ordinary moments I know won’t always be this little — the cuddles, the laughter, the chaos, and the quiet in between.

Just like a greenhouse, not every season is about striving. Some are simply about tending and trusting the quiet growth happening beneath the surface.

This season is tender and fleeting — and it means so much to me to preserve it for other mamas 🤍

The way he looks at her — like the rest of the world disappears.
The way he holds her so gently.
The way she melts right into his arms.

These first days are quiet, tender, and gone in the blink of an eye. In-home newborn sessions are about slowing down and capturing the connection — exactly as it feels in this season 🤍

There’s something really special about being invited back into a family’s life when they welcome another baby 🤍

The tiny newborn I once photographed is suddenly bigger — curious, gentle, and learning how to be a big sibling. These moments are full of so much love, change, and heart, and I never stop feeling grateful to witness them.
