Hoboken Baby Photographer | Samantha at 6 months

I met up with Samantha and her parents on Monday morning for an outdoor shoot at Steven's Institute. Samantha's mom actually introduced me to this picturesque spot, its a place she comes to frequently during her walks around town. So we figured it would be a wonderful place for our shoot, with some meaning behind the location. I can't even tell you how excited I was by the 2 outfits Samantha had to wear...a vintage style dress and a bunny coat with matching bunny slippers! Amazing. And to top it all off, within 3 minutes of finishing the shoot, Samantha was sound asleep on her mom's shoulder. Super cute!

New Jersey Family Photographer | Lucas's Shoot

This past Saturday I met Lucas and his parents at the Van Vleck House in Montclair, NJ. They drove all the way from Long Island to have me photograph their gorgeous baby boy. I was totally flattered that they would travel a distance to work with me. Needless to say, everyone was dressed fabulously and we got some amazing pictures. I'm loving how the browns and rust colors stand out against the green grass and other earthy tones. Here's a little preview....

New Jersey Family Photographer | Ava & Kristian's Holiday Shoot

This past weekend I met up with my old high school friends for an outdoor holiday shoot. We used Kittatinny Valley State Park as our location.  It was the perfect backdrop, even though most of  the leaves were down, the natural neutral tones surrounding us made everyone's outfits pop. Ava and Kristian totally worked it for the camera--they had so much fun that later on their mom told me that she overheard them playing "Meredith" with a fake photo shoot of their own. What an honor!

Hoboken Newborn Photographer | Jill & Rob's Maternity Shoot

The other day I headed to Hoboken for a maternity shoot. The shoot was scheduled at 8AM, just as the sun was beginning to peak through the Manhattan skyline-it really was beautiful. I was so excited when I saw Jill and Rob walk over to me, they looked like they had just stepped out of a j crew catalog and their colors worked perfectly with our autumn surroundings. Here are some of the shots we took that morning, enjoy!

Connecticut Family Photographer | Joseph & Olivia's fall shoot

Yesterday I headed up to Connecticut for my 2010 Fall Portrait Day. We lucked out with perfect weather, it was a little chilly-but that just added cute rosey cheeks to everyone's face. My first shoot was with Joseph and his little sister Olivia. We had so much fun playing in the leaves and exploring the park-here are some shots from our time together....

Manhattan Maternity Photographer | Central Park Shoot

Yesterday afternoon I met up with Amanda for a maternity shoot in her favorite park-Central Park! She's due in about a month and had such a perfect little bump to photograph. We wanted the pictures to reflect the time of year, and being that she is due in the fall- we played around with the vibrant leaves which were all around us. Stay tuned to see her baby next month when we do the newborn session!

I didn't even realize this at the time....but the big tree that Amanda is leaning against (above, right image) looks like the shape of a belly bump! What a fun find.

Manhattan Baby Photographer | Charlie's 1/2 year shoot

Manhattanbabyphotographer This morning I headed in to NYC for a photo shoot with Charlie. Last time I saw her she was only a few weeks old. It was great to see how much she's changed in the past few months. She's got a great personality and is quite the  smiler! We started out on the rooftop and then headed down to Battery Park. I'm so happy we had a great morning. Here are some shots from our time together...

Connecticut Wedding Photographer | Tiffany and Matt get married!

Yesterday we headed to Saint Clements Castle in Portland, Connecticut for a beautiful fall wedding. The grounds are a wedding photographer's dream, so obviously we had tons of  fun shooting here. Tiffany and Matt created  a warm and intimate experience for their guests, complete with an outdoor ceremony at sunset, seating cards attached with baby pumpkins and hot apple cider mix in an autumn inspired mug as their wedding favor. Here are a few pictures from the day, more to follow in a few weeks on my website!

New Jersey Family Photographer | Andrew and Sophie's Fall Photoshoot

ChathamFamilyPhotographer Today I headed over to the Frelinghusen Arboretum for a fall photo shoot with Andrew & Sophie. We did a few outfit changes, but I decided to share the "fall color scheme" look since it really just worked perfectly in this setting. Andrew was such a great big brother, smiling and helping to make his sister laugh (lucky me!). Here are some of the images from our day....

New Jersey Family Photographer | Mother-Daughter Shoot

NewjerseyFamilyphotographer3 Today I headed over to Bayonne Park for an adorable mother-daughter photo shoot. What a special idea, capturing the love and laughter between a mother and her daughter. I think this is something Kayla will surely treasure one day when she's older. Thankfully, the weather held out for us-and Kayla rocked the house for the photos. She was channeling her inner "Taylor Swift" according to her mom.  Too funny!
