So you are in love, but also tired….over the moon with joy, but also completely overwhelmed. You booked your in-home newborn photos months ago before this tiny, precious being made his or her way into your home. You had all of these plans of what you would wear in these photos…but then baby came and life got real crazy real fast and plans of that beautifully curated wardrobe went out the door. You are in a panic! You think “what will I put this tiny, fragile little being in”…let alone even think of yourself! “Help! What Do I Wear??”.

The goal for Lifestyle Headshot and Branding sessions is to stay true to your own personal style while still keeping it professional. For some this could be the hardest part of the session itself.

HELP…WHAT DO I WEAR??

Who doesn’t love a good portrait? The way the light hits the face at the perfect angle or the way your head is tilted in the most flattering position. How your shoulder is moving toward the camera to draw your eye in and the way your hair is perfectly smooth with not a frizz in sight. Sounds great right?

I know I say this every year….I am going to blog EVERY SINGLE SESSION! And then life comes rolling in and I don’t get around to blogging EVERY SINGLE SESSION. I always want to, I say I am going to, I get excited about blogging as the start of the new year comes around and then I just don’t finish! So this year instead of saying I am blogging every session, what I am going to say instead is “I will TRY my best to blog more”.

es 2020 sucked real bad (2021 you aren’t much better to be honest!), but there were definitely two positives as far as our family is concerned.

Now that 2020 is coming to an end (thank goodness!), I realized I better get moving on sharing the rest of the sessions I had this year. Like this adorable 1st birthday session!

2020 Christmas tree farm sessions are all wrapped up and I am so excited to share them with you. As usual they took place at the beautiful Hidden Pond Tree Farm in Mendham, New Jersey.

Newborn sessions might look very different now than they did in the past, but they are still so important! Those first few weeks your precious new baby will change so much. It is so important to document those early moments. Their skinny, long fingers will begin to turn into chubby little sausages after the first month or so.

If this session doesn’t scream Fall I don’t know what does. The beautiful warm leaves and the early morning light, together with their pretty color palette and you can almost feel the Fall leaves falling :)

Another Fall session with a really fun…and adorable family! Meet the Mauriello Family.

We met at the beautiful Cross Estate Gardens. Have you ever been?

Downtown sessions are one of my favorites. I love the laid back vibe of them. I especially love finding really cool old doors to use as a backdrop. How cool are these church doors?

I have been photographing more lifestyle headshot sessions and they are such a breath of fresh air. When I think of headshots I think of studio lights, solid backgrounds and stiff poses (sorry but it’s true). But some professionals want a more relaxed laid back feel for their headshots. Bring on the lifestyle headshots.

When Molly first got in touch with me to inquire about a session we did a virtual call. It was my fist time doing this type of call with a client but I am so glad we did!

Hey friends! It’s 2020! Crazy right?? This year has been my best year in business to date and it’s all thanks to you! Thank you for trusting in me to document your memories.

A quick thank you to the families who joined me at Hidden Pond Tree Farm this year! I had a great time with you! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ❤️💚
