NJ Maternity & Family Photographer
Family is not an important thing,
it's everything.
Whether you’d like to document your family at home or in the sand at the beach, I’ll be there to capture you at your most playful. We’ll take a mix of candid and guided photos – so your family never looks stiff or posed, but…
joyful, connected, and authentic.
I provide a boutique experience with the goal of creating beautiful family heirlooms you and your family can enjoy for generations. We will adorn your home with artwork from your session so that everyday you and your children can be reminded of the love that you share.
THE PROCESS
1.
Reach out
Use my contact form, send me an email or give me a call- we will discuss your vision for your session and get to know each other.
2.
Booking & Planning Session
We will choose a date or approximate date. You put down a deposit and review and sign the contract. Then through a phone, video or in-person consultation, we will go over all the details of the session including: where you envision having your images in your home, what the best color scheme for attire should be and where the session will take place.

Session
We will enjoy a love filled, intimate session together capturing your family’s unique connection.
4.
Gallery reveal and ordering
Within three weeks of your session we will schedule a reveal and ordering session either in your home or virtually. At this time I will present you your images in a slideshow and we will go over the designs I have made for wall art and or albums. You will then place your order!

Creating family heirlooms is a curated process that is customized to every family’s needs. It is an investment that you will enjoy for generations. I don’t want you to be stuck with a gallery full of images that you don’t know what to do with. I’ve been that photographer and I wasn’t serving my clients. I don’t want your images only living on a hard-drive or in a drawer forgotten about and never looked at. That’s not how your memories should be treated. That’s why I provide you with personalized, everlasting products that live right alongside you everyday.

Family FAQ
-
Where do sessions take place? Do you have a studio?
We will choose a location based on your needs and preferences! I offer in sessions in my studio in Oceanport, but I also travel to homes and parks, beaches, etc.
What should we wear?
Depending on what style of session we are doing i.e. maternity, indoor portraits or outdoor, we will consult on your wardrobe.
I have dresses available for mamas from pregnancy and beyond.
General recommendations include neutral or earth tones. Think creams, whites, grays, tans, light pinks such as mauve, blues such as chambray. Visit my Pinterest board for more inspiration!
What is the best time of day for pictures?
For outdoor pictures we schedule the session around sunset or sunrise (if you’re really daring!)
For indoor pictures we schedule based on the light in your home but typically between 10-11am.
Great! How do I book a session?
First, contact me to ensure we are a good fit. We will then choose a date or approximate date and I will send you an invoice for your retainer and a portrait agreement for you to review and sign. Both of these need to be done in order to hold your slot.
When will I see my images?
Your entire gallery will be available within two to three weeks of our session when we meet either in person or over video call to review the images together.
Do you offer prints?
Yes! Prints are my specialty! I offer heirloom quality albums and custom framed prints. Everything is personalized to your needs.
