It’s been a while since i’ve shared a non-wedding set on here. While I still mostly photograph weddings, i do love when I get to switch it up a little bit. ;) I photographed baby Ethan in Paul and Sara’s home, and returning to photograph a previous wedding couple’s growing family made this session especially meaningful. This intimate in-home newborn session captured quiet, slow moments and purposeful family connection: soft natural light, cozy nursery details, and candid newborn cuddles. I get so thrilled when I am asked to continue documenting life’s milestones from my previous couples — it’s truly so special to be able to capture the big days… and small additions.
New Jersey In-Home Newborn Session
Sandy Hook Beach Engagement | Jessah + Josh
Gateway National Recreation Area | Middletown, NJ
Jessah and Josh's engagement session at Sandy Hook Beach beautifully captures their journey from college friends to lifelong partners. Their story began at Rutgers University on the intramural volleyball court, where they started off as teammates not knowing that it would lead to a deeper meaningful connection. Funny story is that I was actually a referee for the intramural program thought my entire time in college and I reffed MULTIPLE of their games.. it feels like a full circle moment photographing them as an engaged couple now! As the waves lapped the shore, we celebrated their love with stunning seaside photos, reflecting their journey and how it all started. We even ended the night with a little volleyball bump session ;)
Liberty State Park, Jersey City | Maternity Session

Love a good manhattan backdrop!! There’s something about a family session that can feel refreshing after the long wedding days. As a new mom myself, yes, trying to gather kids can be stressful but these sessions can also be playful and fun! I try to tell the family, to just embrace the kids as they are and we can try to work around them — maybe you’ll come home with one or two photos of everyone looking at the camera, but there’ll be sooo much more laughs if we let the tickling, running around, and playing happen. After all, parenthood is not picture perfect journey, so our photos capturing that moment shouldn’t be any different.
