This sweet spring cherry blossom family session at Branch Brook Park was such a blast! I have had the honor of photographing this family many times through the years from engagement photos to wedding, maternity, newborn, and family. Every single chapter has been so unique and special! The cherry blossoms are always the first sign of springtime starting and one of my favorites to photograph. The pink cotton candy blooms filling the trees feel so surreal, and make for the perfect backdrop for a photo session. Watching Noah grow each year and documenting the uniqueness of each season is such a gift! I loved capturing his joyful smiles and energetic movements throughout the park! His laughter is contagious, and it is always sweet witnessing all the love from Alina & Moe as his parents in every stage.

These summer family photos at Windward Beach Park in Brick, NJ were so much fun! I love getting to see multiple generations together and take photos of them that will be cherished by the whole family for years to come. I had the pleasure of photographing Steph & Patrick’s newborn session with their son two years ago. When Steph reached out about a big family session to celebrate her mother-in-law’s birthday, I was so excited to photograph them again! It’s always my favorite to reconnect with my clients over many chapters in their stories! I loved seeing how their newborn baby has grown into a handsome toddler, and getting to see him with his crew of cousins was extra special!

Windward Beach Park was an amazing setting for family photos! With the beautiful greenery, a private feel, calm waters, and pier stretching out over the horizon, it was picture perfect! The added bonus of a beachy feel without the wind made it an ideal location for some great family lifestyle pictures!

I was so excited to put together this styled springtime motherhood backyard session! I thought it would be an extra special way to capture some of the sweetness and joy of family life with little ones. Having a simple, yet elevated backdrop featuring flowy white fabric, an antique piano stool, and a basket of fresh cut flowers set the scene for these photos!

When it comes to photographing family sessions, I find it so important to focus on the connections, the little moments in between, the relationships, far more than a perfectly posed photo. Twenty years from now when you look back on your family photos, I’d venture to bet the ones that mean the most to you won’t be the staged and “perfect” shots. I think the ones that highlight how the season felt and how the relationships were will be the ones most cherished. Of course, I always get some of those smiling at the camera shots, too, but I love to prioritize the connection.

This sweet family (our dear friends from Folded Crane Films) was so much fun to photograph! Their two little boys were filled with joy, laughter, and some classic boyhood-style rambunctious energy too! We used our stool backdrop set, a picnic blanket for lounging, and some exploring through the garden paths too! These settings paired with a film-inspired aesthetic, are the perfect way to capture the nostalgia of these sweet interactions.

These lifestyle family photos in Bradley Beach are some of my favorites that I’ve taken! Firstly, it’s always special to me when I get to photograph my best friends! I’ve been friends with Thiana since college, and have had the honor of photographing all her family milestones, from their Costa Rica destination wedding, to their in-home maternity photos, and family photos, too! The best part of being a photographer is hands down, getting to photograph people’s stories through so many different chapters. It’s just the sweetest cherry on top when those people are also your best friends! 🙂

I always love photographing Thiana & Brendan because they do such a great job of being in the moment. Their focus during our sessions is always on connection with each other. I think these photos encapsulate the energy of their toddler and the wild-feeling laughter of this stage in life raising their son. They love spending time at the beach as a family, so it feels like a “second home” and very “them” meaningful backdrop for their family photos!

It was so fun letting their son explore the beach and run around. He chased seagulls, jumped in holes, and tackled mom and dad with big hugs. Letting him be himself made for some of the most personality-filled photos that feel quintessential to this season of boyhood! I feel like these will be the kinds of photos that will one day transport the whole family back to this season of life for a good reminisce.

Christine & Connor’s The Mill Lakeside Manor NJ wedding was unforgettable! It was a rainy day on Memorial Day weekend in Spring Lake. The soft gray clouds added a softness to the environment that really allowed all the emotion, love, and excitement to shine on this day. Some of my favorite parts of the day included their first look & private vow exchange on the balcony, portraits in the hallway of the gorgeous ceremony building, and the absolute PARTY on the dance floor from the moment it opened! There were so many amazing moments to kick off the start to forever for these two!

This nostalgic backyard family session is the perfect example of how thinking outside of the typical box of family portraits can allow for photos that are extra special and personal. I had the best time taking these casual backyard family photos for my good friends Steph & Justin from ToneMedia! We wanted to create family photos that captured their “every day” at-home moments. Backyard hang outs with bikes and scooters, bubbles and swings, and drippy ice cream cones felt like them in this season. So that’s exactly what we captured!

These NJ newborn family photos at home are incredibly sentimental to me. 7 years ago, I had the honor of photographing Lauren & Nick’s wedding at Scotland Run. Little did I know, Lauren would become one of my closest friends for a lifetime. Now as they celebrate their seven year anniversary, they’ve got a home filled with the love of three precious little girls (and two big, fluffy furbabies)! What an absolute joy it’s been to continue photographing every beautiful chapter of their love story through the years!

Seeing their eldest two daughters loving on their new baby sister, and giggling with each other, was the sweetest thing! I loved being able to capture their family in a way that felt authentic to them.

Gianna & Tom’s Springtime Park Chateau garden wedding was everything I could dream of! The gardens were in full bloom, the weather was perfect, and the vibes were perfection. They had an incredible band who kept the dance floor roaring all night long! The reception also featured a sweet surprise with The Cannoli Guy filling cannolis on the dance floor! This was one of those wedding days I wish I could relive over and over! But that doesn’t surprise me. Since I first connected with Gianna & Tom, I knew this would be a core memory kind of day. Their meticulous attention to detail and thorough planning set everything up for smooth sailing on the big day!

This Hoboken waterfront proposal is an extra special session to me! When Nick reached out about planning his proposal to Emma and having me photograph it, I was honored to say the least! I’ve photographed both of Nick’s sisters‘ weddings, so it meant the world to be a part of another special family milestone!

I was so impressed with Nick’s thoroughness in planning every little detail of the proposal! From the location, down to the ruse he used to get Emma thinking they had other plans, and the post-engagement celebrations, Nick thought of everything! Including photography, of course! 🙂

This summer farm newborn family session was such a fun twist on newborn photos! I loved the idea of visiting a local farm to spend a little time outside as a new family of four! Located in Pennsylvania, Maple Acres Farm Market was an ideal family session location! Maple Acres had the most perfect blooming flower fields, furry friends to visit, and a quaint pond with koi fish!

I love capturing families in their element to preserve the memories of how life feels in any age and stage! Natural feeling family photos come easily when the environment is focused on connection over perfection. The little moments of siblings connecting, and exploring the farm with mom and dad were so sweet. These photos highlight what the season felt like with a toddler and a newborn. I know they will be special for many years to come!
