Hello 2026! Looking Back at 2025 Family Photo Sessions in Morris County NJ

January 05, 2026 by Dawn Pecorella Curto in childrens photography, Christmas Photography, Couples Photography, Family Photography, Family Session Morristown, Lifestyle Photography, Mendham NJ, Morristown NJ, Morristown Photography, New Jersey Photographer, NJ Family Photography

Now that we’re officially stepping into 2026, I wanted to pause and say one very important thing. Thank you.

2025 was filled with the kind of moments that remind me why I love what I do so much. From slow, cozy in home newborn sessions to playful family sessions around Morristown and Morris County and let’s not forget the seasonal magic of tree farm sessions in Mendham, NJ, every family brought something special in front of my lens.

Thank you for trusting me with your babies, your growing families, your laughter, and your real life moments. Whether you were snuggling in a brand new nursery at home, chasing little ones through a park or laughing among the beautiful Christmas trees and even my very first puppy cake smash!, it was such an honor to capture these seasons for you.

I’m endlessly grateful to the families from Morristown, Madison, Chatham, Morris Plains, Mendham, Chester and surrounding Morris County towns who chose A Lovely Shade of Jade Photography in 2025. Your trust means everything to me and never goes unnoticed.

As I look ahead to another year of documenting sweet, fleeting moments, I carry so much gratitude for each family who made 2025 unforgettable. I’m excited to continue documenting families in all their stages and to offer even more Puppy Cake Smashes, something I would absolutely love to do more of in the years ahead.

Here’s to more connection, more memories, more moments worth holding onto and more PUPPIES! 🤍

With so much thanks,
Dawn@alovelyshadeofjade

Fun & Casual Fall Family Session | Summit NJ Photographer

Meet the Broughel Family! Full of fun, love and pure sweetness. I was excited when Alicia asked me to meet them at their home. A lot of times people won’t think to do the session in their own backyard but it is nice to have memories of the kids playing and just being in their own comfort zone. These will be precious for them to look back on years from now.
