Best Buddies

So there are times I get to pull out my camera for my own kids, but this time I got to do it on a beautiful day at a local park. We were walking Cattus Island State Park for the first time and I just had to bring it. These two kiddos were so happy and such goof balls on the trails it was great. They even had time for a little kissy poo

Engagement Session | Barnegat Lighthouse | Family Photographer | Ocean County NJ

Just two people in love…..

Avani and Matt were the cutest couple enjoying a beautiful night at the Barnegat Lighthouse. We had the most perfect weather one could wish for after our first night got cancelled due to rain. It was a great experience, especially for me being able to be the first professional photographer to capture amazing moments of Avani! Congratulations and I hope you have the best two day wedding ever!!

Mommy & Me

There is nothing like the bond between a mother and child. Each child you have there will be a different and special type of bond, its truly amazing. I LOVE that Stacey has taken the time out and made sure she got in front of the camera with her little love. Sometimes as moms we are the ones taking the photos that we never sit back to make sure we are in them. They were such a great team it was awesome.

Baby Birthday Shark

Baby shark is by far my favorite little song. And in case anyone didn't know about the Amazon Prime Baby Shark channel, you are welcome! 14 great versions of baby shark, its great. So needless to say I have been waiting for someone to do this theme for about a year now. This handsome little stud was such a great baby shark.

Mr. Jaxin

This handsome little devil gave me a run for my money in the beginning of the session. But before you knew it, he was as sleepy as a sleepy baby should be. It was almost like he didn't want to miss anything and then realized the warmth and white noise of my studio was totally going to win! Before you knew it we were done the session and we have these awesome pictures for his Mama <3

Avery | Birthday Session | Indoor Studio | Ocean County Photographer

Where does the time go?!

I am not sure where the time goes but by golly watching this cutie grow up has been awesome! I love seeing Avery. She is pretty shy but warms up to me and the studio every time she comes. She probably wouldn’t love a very crowded, off schedule commercial studio so it is beyond perfect for her. Can’t wait for the next holiday to see her back!

Traveling to Disney

Phew!! I think I can finally say it will out jinxing it, goodbye winter and goodbye SNOW! Gosh, as I get older the snow gets less less fun, haha! But watching my princess think that she is a Queen and can freeze everything is honestly the most joyous feeling in the world. I thought Disney movies and Disney World was great when I was little but golly it is SOOO much better as a Mommy!! Quinn and Emerson watch all sorts of Disney movies, and tend to get stuck on one and we watch on repeat for a good amount of time and then on to the next haha, but sharing this time with them has been amazing.

In the beginning of October, we as a family, both set of grandparents as well, went to Disney World for our first family vacation. As there was always something going on and pretty crazy, it was great to watch the magic in their eyes. Some may say that they were “too young” but I would not have changed it for the world. Quinn still to this day asks about it and asks for Elsa when she gets her hair cut because we got her first hair cut there and they of course made it so so special!! I can’t wait to book a vacation to head on back there to have some more family time. The best part of planning to go is that one of my great friends just became a travel agent, for Disney! Say whattttt! How cool right!?! Many people think that using a travel agent will cost them money, and it doesn’t! Same price you would pay with out a travel agent but some extra love and help planning. Next time we go we will be using Deanna to help us set everything us! Hop on over to her page to take a look to see how she can help you with your traveling!!

Anya | Newborn Photos in Studio | Child Photographer | Ocean County NJ

Welcome Anya

It was great to see Anya again after her hospital photos. She had so many little feature changes within just the few short days between sessions. This is why I advise couples to try and capture every moment they can because these tiny humans change so much. But this sweet girl rocked her newborn session in the studio and I can’t wait to watch her grow and change as she gets older!!

Little Late Princess

This princess was coming on her terms. She made Mommy and Daddy wait an extra week to see her sweet face but golly was it totally worth it. Anya was so amazing during her hospital photos. I love that I got to capture these moments for them while she was less than 30 hours into the crazy world. Aggie and Dom congratulations on your sweet girl! Can’t wait to do her studio session this weekend!!
