I love the uniqueness of each shoot with lifestyle newborn sessions inspired by the baby’s nursery and their family. This sweet girl was quite the cooperative little model for me and I loved incorporating their furry family member, Lucy, into the shoot as well for some family portraits.

I could not get enough of their adorable missing teeth and crazy flyaway hairs from the wind. They were busy showing off their cartwheels, running races in their sundresses, and searching the beach for shells. The full family photos from this session are some of my favorites as well- it was such a gorgeous night down the Jersey shore and we soaked in that glowy evening sunlight. Such a beautiful crew! Enjoy my favorite highlights from their lifestyle beach session. 

The ocean brings out a wild, innocent energy in kids that can’t really be reciprocated elsewhere, which makes it the perfect setting for a lifestyle session. The images we captured from this sibling and mom & me session are truly some of my favorite photographs ever!

There were always golden retrievers in my home growing up, so I understand how much of a part of the family your dog can be. They are the furry, four-legged family member who shows unconditional love. Maybe they were your first “baby” before kids arrived. Or maybe you got the dog to help your child make friends. Or, you might just be dog people and can’t have a home without one running for the door when you walk in! Whatever the reason…they are a part of your story too. 

You’ll see fleeting moments captured and a LOT of laughing. Rare moments when everyone is together and disconnected from their phones. Babies that are growing too fast and the little bursts of sibling love that make the difficult days worth it. You’ll see smiles that we only got because we made a fart joke and some unbelievably adorable kids fashion.

To kick off the fall families season I thought I’d share one of my favorite shoots from last year! I realized with the craziness of holiday card season last year that I never posted this crew, so… better late than never! This autumn session had such perfect fall colors & golden light, and these three […]

Love this beach family session of a close friend of mine and her family in the place they love the most- Wells, Maine. The girls spent the morning fearlessly running in and out of the freezing cold water, hunting for snails, and chasing seagulls.

We captured the first time his big sister was holding him, and the moment when I asked her to give him a little kiss and she licked him instead. And then we froze the moment when she was no longer so sure about the new baby, so she went to go blow bubbles with the dog instead.

It doesn’t get much cuter than these two and their adventures in their velvet leggings and suspenders.

Here’s a glimpse of some of my favorite  moments we spent together this year…
