Do you pick a word for the new year? We do over here! Mine for 2022 is "Change" and Jade chose "Hopeful"—and honestly, both feel spot-on after the past couple of wild years.

As much as 2021 threw us curveballs, one thing that totally filled my cup? - These amazing tree farm photo sessions in Mendham, NJ. I had the best time photographing so many joyful families right here in the heart of Morris County, surrounded by evergreens, twinkly light, and all the holiday cheer.

Scroll through the highlights below to see some of the sweet families who joined me at the Mendham tree farm last year! If you spot your crew, drop a hello in the comments—I love hearing from you!

So here’s to leaving you-know-what behind and welcoming 2022 with open arms. We’re feeling hopeful for change (see what I did there? 😂).

Wishing you all a happy, healthy year ahead full of magic and memory-making. And if you're thinking about booking a holiday photo session in Mendham, NJ this year—definitely stay tuned. These minis are always a favorite and tend to fill fast!
