For the past few years I've had the pleasure of meeting up with this beautiful gang at the beach. Ive been lucky to watch their babies grow in to toddlers and capture some pretty amazing memories in the making. Here's a sneak peak at what went on this last visit....
Morristown Family Photographer | Mason & Ruby
What a gorgeous night for a family photoshoot! I met up with these cuties at Jockey Hollow, which is an awesome backdrop for pictures. We had a great time catching up and making memories. Enjoy!
Sparta Family Photographer | Fathers Day Family Portrait
There's nothing better than getting the ENTIRE family together for an updated portrait...cousins, brothers and sisters, grand-babies and all. In between the chaos, cries and laughter- some magic is always made. The love shines through and that makes it so worth it!
New Jersey Family Photographer | Charlie turns 1
This weekend I met up with Charlie and his family for his 1 year portraits. It seems like yesterday, we did his newborn pictures and now he's toddling around and hamming it up!
Morristown Family Photographer | Declan turns one
This past weekend I met Declan, for his 1 year portraits. We had a great time exploring the arboretum with his parents and big brother, Ridley. Overall, I'd say the day was a success and I'm so happy I got to document this milestone for him!
Hoboken Family Photographer | Thomas turns 1
in Hoboken
New Jersey Family Photographer | Leo's first shoot
Todays shoot was in celebration of Leo. He just turned 9 months old and we wanted to capture him in all his glory. I felt it was appropriate to kick the blog feature off with this particular image of him crawling.
Why?
Not because its necessarily a "framer" but because it really does capture who he is. This is his current milestone in life. He's a mover and a shaker.
And these little moments are really what its all about.
New Jersey Family Photographer | Jack and Zoe
To kick off being back to work, I got to photograph 2 of my favorite little people at one of my favorite spring time locations- Branch Brook Park. The park has one of the best displays of cherry blossom in the tri-state. Can't believe these 2 are getting so big. Where has the time gone?!
New Jersey Family Photographer | Lauren's fall shoot
Such a fun shoot with this little doll yesterday. The happiness I see when I look at these pictures lets me know it was such a great memory in the making. The idea was to capture this family of 3 one more time, before becoming a family of 4 very soon. How special!
New Jersey Family Photographer | holiday session
in holiday
Yesterday was my final portrait day before I have this baby of mine! We were blessed with a gorgeous day- thankfully. I'm so happy I was able to squeeze a few more folks in for their annual holiday pictures- I just love seeing how much everyone has grown over the years. My first shoot was with these 3 guys, and boy have they gotten big since our last session! Enjoy!
New Jersey Family Photographer | holiday card shoot
Yesterday I collaborated with my talented artist friend and owner of Catherine Kiff-Vozza Couture Stationary for their annual holiday portraits. We opted to go in a different direction this year, choosing a studio backdrop setting with a New Years vibe. As always the kids worked it. Enjoy the inspiration.....
New Jersey Family Photographer | fall is in the air
This weekend I met up with Andrew and Peter for their annual portraits. I'm so happy I was able to squeeze these guys in before I go on maternity leave. They were so much fun to photograph, such excitement as they ran and explored the outdoors. We manage to capture some wonderful memories!
New Jersey Family Photographer | nicole and warren
in pets
So happy we were able to return to one of my favorite locations to shoot at in August- Kittatinny State Park. The flowers are on their way out, so I was glad to capture their beauty one last time. It was an extra special shoot because it was with an old high school friend, her husband and dog. We had a blast catching up, laughing and snapping great pictures. Enjoy!
New Jersey Family Photographer | magical light
Last night I met up with a family I've been shooting for 9 years! We've become great friends and its been such an honor watching their kids grow. Hopefully it was worth the 2 hour trip down (and back). I know I'm loving these shots!
New Jersey Family Photographer | summer garden shoot
in garden
The flowers are in full bloom at my favorite garden, and last night the shoot was picture perfect. I had so much fun working with this family, and I am pretty sure we made some great memories...
New Jersey Family Photographer | sunflower shoot
in farm
Last night we (I) needed to get out of the house, and a road trip to check out sunflowers was the perfect outing. Also a great backdrop for some much needed pictures of my son. I'm always taking pictures of my daughter and I've noticed I don't have nearly as many shots of him...so that was one of the reasons for taking the camera. Lucky for us, the sun was just right (back lit on the sunflowers) and it wasn't too hot or humid. We stayed at the field for a grand total of 15 minutes and I love every picture that was taken. I figured it might inspire someone to take their family or children's portraits one year at a sunflower field. Next up, we're hitting another cool place up that is in full bloom with Queen Anne's Lace. I'll be sure to post some pictures from that too. Enjoy!
New Jersey Family Photographer | Ryan at 3 weeks
in newborn
Today I met up with this little fella and his adorable brother (who totally is enthralled with his baby bro). Lots of love here! Enjoy...
Manhattan newborn Photographer | Ronan, 9 days old
in newborn
Last week I met up with a sweet little soul, Ronan. I think his peaceful energy shows right through in these images. Enjoy the love!

LBI Family Photographer | birthday gift
in beach
My last shoot from the LBI beach portraits couldn't have been better- or more special. This session was a birthday gift for their mom. A celebration of who she is as a person and the beautiful family she calls her own. I'm pretty sure some great memories were made, in between the laughter and smiles. Enjoy!
