5 reasons you need a Family Session! | Morristown, NJ Photographer

Hey Friends!

I wanted to share with you 5 reasons you should have a family session. Until having a family of my own I don't think I understood the true meaning behind getting family photos done. I cherish the professional photos we have and plan to make it part of our family tradition to have more done. I am realizing how crucial it is for me to be in these photos with my family and how important it is for my daughter to have both me and my husband in photos with her to look back on. So without further ado here are 5 reasons to have those photos taken.  

1.  Having amazing photos of you and your loved ones!

     When was the last time you had photos done? Your wedding day maybe? How amazing would it be to have fresh beautiful photos of you and your family to hang throughout your home or made into a photo book. My daughter loves flipping through our photo books all the time! Or pointing at our photo wall in our stairway as we head up to bed.

2.  They make the best gifts!

      Aside from sharing your photos on social media your photos can actually have other uses. For example how about a Christmas card? Wrapping your gifts in custom paper? I have not done this yet but I think I have to try out this idea for Christmas this year. How much fun is this idea? How about a special photo framed of the grandkids for the grandparents? What about blowing up that fave photo of your child for their birthday party      as a guest sign in? Lots of fun & creative uses for your photos!

3.  Reliving the past.

     I know a favorite past time of my daughters is to look at her photos when she was smaller. It      was also a fave past time of mine as a child as we sat around the table with piles of old photos. These pictures will live on through the generations and soon your own kids kids will be looking back at these photos asking what your children were like at their age.

4.  Spending family time!

     Getting dressed up is fun to do together as a family! Make a day of it! Moms, take your little princess for a mommy daughter mani/pedi. Dads, take your fave little man to the barber shop for some daddy son cuts. Pick out some fun outfits that you will wear for the photo day. Make silly faces as you all try them on together. It should be looked back on as quality time that you got to spend together as a family :)

5. Documenting our Lives.

    You do not want to forget that toothless smile or the way their hair curls in the humidity do you? How about the way they cling to that favorite blankie? Or those chubby thighs that last for such a short time! And the way your fur baby gently rests his head on your newborn baby. Hopefully we will all have a chance to be old and grey and look back at our lives through these photo memories! But life is certainly not guaranteed so why wait to document all these special memories! 

If these reasons are enough for you than please contact me here to set up a session!

Making Childhood Memories | Morristown, NJ

We had a blast this 4th of July!

We enjoyed the day at our neighbor's awesome BBQ and we ended the night all kicked back on the curb in front of their house as our husbands set off the newly legalized fireworks! Who knew that when I walked into Target the day before the 4th I would see packages of fireworks! Of course we grabbed a box and found out another friend did the same. So what else is there to do with all these fireworks but put on a show for all the kids?! :)

It was so sweet to watch the kids stare in awe as the colorful fireworks went off right in front of them. Took me back to my childhood growing up in Brooklyn watching the fireworks go off on my block as all the dads set off colorful ones as well as very loud M80's. While I am not sad in the least bit that the M80's didn't become legal I am so happy that Jade will be able to enjoy the sparkly pretty ones.....at least for this year. She even got to use sparklers for the first time!! Always a childhood fave! And while we don't know how long this new law will stay at least we will have some photos to look back on for years to come!

Hope everyone had a fun Fourth of July!

Baby makes 5! | Maternity Session | Morristown, NJ

My first maternity session! And what better family to get to experience that with than these amazing friends of ours! Cami (their oldest) and my daughter have been friends since they were teensy 3 month olds & have now turned into strong, beautiful 5 year olds! Time please stand still! Now they are expecting their 3rd baby and are moving far...far...far away from us!  7 minutes away is far when we literally live down the block now and can just walk over in the spur of the moment :( So I am really glad I was able to document this special time for them before we say our farewells (am I being a bit dramatic?). In all seriousness....thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of this special time <3 I hope you are happy with the way these turned out.

Triola Family | Spring Session | Morristown, NJ

fun loving, easy going, silly, adorable and awesome....just a few adjectives to describe this family.

Was it hot on this day? YES!!...Did they seem to care that it was? No!...Did we still have a great session? Definitely!! The weather has been really finicky this year. A few days before our session it was low 60's. The day of our session it was low 90's! But this beautiful family made it through with lots of hugs and smiles and I was so happy to capture those smiles for them. 

Kovacs Family / Cross Estate Gardens Family Session / Morristown, NJ

This session with the Kovacs family showed so much warmth, love and fun that can be had during a family session. We started out with a couple of mishaps....the original location we planned to take the photos at was having a special event going on when we got there and the weather was very wet all day long. But in the end it worked out great. We ended up at a nearby location that was even more pretty than the original and the rainy weather held out for the hour that we were taking photos! It started up again as soon as we left but at that point it didn't matter because their beautiful memories were already captured. I hope that the three of you treasure these precious memories in the years to come because the time sure does fly by fast! I had a blast with you guys!
