Wishing all the special moms out there a very Happy Mother’s Day! Look at this amazing gallery of beautiful, strong and loving moms! This is what I love to photograph! The love and connection that we have for our kids…not the smiling and looking at the camera pics. The true connections that we all share with our babies.

Happy Mother’s Day! Enjoy your day!

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.

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!

OK guys I am sooooo behind on blog posts!! I will be catching up and trickling them in slowly. Thanks to all the families for their patience!

Today I am welcoming sweet baby River and her adorable family to the blog. She was 7 days old when these photos were taken and her mom recently posted a picture of her at 1 month old!

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.

I went back to my hometown to take newborn photos for this adorable new family of three in early October. I am from Brooklyn incase you didn’t already know…..ya know the home of the best pizza in the world. Well I guess aside from Italy but I have yet to have pizza from Italy so to me Brooklyn is the best. OK back to the photos.

Today is April 6th...Springtime. When beautiful flowers are in bloom, birds are chirping and sock-less feet begin to make their appearance.....unless you live in New Jersey because here it's SNOWING....again.

Christmas Tree Farm mini sessions are a wrap! This year I had the pleasure of heading back to Hidden Pond Tree Farm for some Tree Farm Mini Sessions! If you haven't been here or heard of this place before you should definitely check them out. The farm is breathtaking to see with acres of trees at your sight. Last year we went back when they opened for the season and we got to chop down our very first real tree. Was so much fun and can't wait to do it again this year.

This. Day. Was. Cold. Would you know it from these smiles though?? I don't think so! These 4 pulled off their winter coats and rocked their session.

Another year in the books for this little rock star. I have known this beauty since she was born and I can't believe she is already nine. The years really are going so fast....way too fast if you ask me. Rock on Grayce!

So Jade is in this phase where she tells us I Love You...literally every few seconds. Not that I am complaining at all but it's funny to hear her say it so often, and at the most random of moments. Running out the front door late for somewhere, "Mommy?...yes Jade...I love you"....Sitting on the potty, "Mommy I have to tell you something?...yes Jade...I love you"...Pulling something out of the frig, "Mommy?...yes Jade...I love you so so so much!".

I had the amazing opportunity to take some photography classes with Stacy from Stacy Mae Photography and Click and Capture Your Everyday. I first heard of Stacy shortly after having my daughter and followed her on social media since than. I've never used her for family photos and to this day still have not had family photos taken....EVER! I know that is terrible coming from someone who loves taking photos. It should just be a given right?
