New Jersey Family & Newborn Photographer
Serving Monmouth County and the surrounding areas
I believe in capturing the bonds, love, and memories shared among your family members. Let's go beyond mere images, and preserve cherished moments that tell the unique story of your family. Whether it's capturing the playful laughter of your children, the tender embrace of you and your partner, or the multigenerational connections, we celebrate the beauty and authenticity of YOUR family and all the little details. Your photographs will serve as treasured keepsakes, allowing you to revisit and relive your most precious memories for generations to come.
My goal is always to make you feel comfortable and allow you to savor every minute with your newest family member. I'll navigate you towards the most flattering light and provide gentle direction to ensure you feel at ease and radiate your natural essence in every shot.

Enjoying your Portraits
Your memories deserve more than just a place on your hard drive.
Printing your photos transforms them into daily reminders of the love, laughter, and milestones that shape your family. Whether displayed as framed wall art, arranged in a timeless album, or framed on your desk, printed photos create a tangible connection to the moments that matter most.

With a relaxed, natural approach, I’ll guide you through a session that feels genuine and easy—whether we’re outdoors, in your home, or at the studio. These are the moments you’ll want to remember, and I’m honored to help you hold onto them forever.

In-home Newborn & Studio Sessions
Whether at home or in the studio, let’s capture the beauty of your baby’s earliest days. Newborn sessions are designed to be calm, cozy, and centered on connection—whether you prefer the comfort of your own home or the simplicity of a studio setting. I’ll gently guide the session to create space for natural, heartfelt moments with your little one and each member of your family. From tiny fingers to sleepy smiles, we’ll preserve every meaningful detail so you can hold onto this fleeting season forever.

When should I book?
Availability on weekends book up fast so the sooner the better!
What happens if it rains?
I will check-in the day of our scheduled session and if the weather doesn't seem like it will be ideal for our session, I will offer other dates to reschedule.
Do I have to purchase prints from you?
No, you have printing rights to print your photos at any lab. I highly recommend printing from the gallery I send you for the best quality or another reputable printing lab.
How long does it take to receive my images?
You will receive an email within 1-2 weeks of our session that includes a link to an online gallery where you can download your images.
What if my kids don't cooperate?
Don't expect kids to sit still and smile at the camera for your entire session. We will make sure to get a few "everyone looking and smiling" traditional images but the best images come when families are carefree and kids play and interact so we can capture genuine smiles and giggles! So embrace the chaos for this short period of time, enjoy the moment, and have fun! Tell jokes, tickle, squeeze, and kiss your kiddos!
