Today I spent the day with these adorable newborn twins. They just got home from the hospital and were so tiny and precious. The shoot was a complete success, I'm so happy I was able to meet the entire family!

New Jersey Pregnancy photographer | Martha's Vineyard water shoot

jenny2 While I was on vacation a few week ago, I had the opportunity to photograph a good friend of mine (who was on vacation with me in the Vineyard!). She is due in September and we wanted to something unique for her pregnancy pictures. The water just seemed like the perfect inspiration - natural and beautiful. We headed out very early in the morning before the beaches got packed with tourists and took full advantage of what the island had to offer. Fun, right?

NYC Roof Top & Times Square Engagement Shoot

Last night (yes, on one of the  hottest nights of the summer!) I  headed in to NYC with Jamie and George, a newly engaged couple. Since George is a city guy at heart, we thought it would be fun to take their engagement pictures there...whats better than being in the place you love with the person you love most?? Anyway, even though it was very warm and sticky, these guys made the entire experience look cool and comfortable. Here are some special shots from the affair;

Courtnay & Bridget-Sister shoot

This past Friday I met up with some friends to do a sister shoot. They had both just gotten their trial makeup done by my favorite makeup artist, Kerry Crawford (http://www.kerrydering.com/) for Bridget's upcoming wedding. Of course, they both looked gorgeous so I was super excited to take their picture! Here are some shots that stood out the most to me:

Cousin Shoot

Before we left for vacation we did a "cousin shoot" with all of the girls on my mom's side of the family. Our one cousin was visiting from Alaska so I decided it would be the perfect time to all get together and take a shot of us girls. I normally don't post anything that contains myself, but I had to make an exception on this because the pictures are so fun. I wanted the feel to be different from a traditional family photo-more fashion-y. Plus, what a good excuse to get all dolled up, right? The shoot took place at the Madison Train Station in Madison, NJ. Its a really fun place for pictures...here are some favorites--can you believe the age span between us is almost a full 20 years? cousin1

LBI Wedding

Last Wednesday I headed down to LBI for an intimate beach wedding. Unfortunately, the rain forced the ceremony to be indoors-but the results of the entire affair were still spectacular. I'm so happy I was able to convince the newlyweds to do their pictures on the beach, even though it was drizzling a bit. The ceremony and reception took place at Daddy O's Boutique Hotel. The softness from the misty weather was just too pretty to pass up. Here are some favorites.... opthof1

Liz and Jesse's Engagement Session

ohare Yesterday I met with these guys at The Waveny in New Canaan, CT for their engagement pictures. We had an awesome time together which of course results in fun pictures. As soon as I downloaded the images, and saw the series we took in the meadow (above and 2 below), it instantly made me think of the '70s (flowing hair, meadows, frolics and laughter). Stay tuned, their wedding is coming up in September 2009!
