A NEW JERSEY NEWBORN AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE
FOR BUSY FAMILIES LOOKING FOR A STRESS-FREE EXPERIENCE
Your wedding day wasn’t just the best day of your life. It’s the day a new chapter in your love story began! And now, I want to document everything that comes after! Limiting the number of clients I serve each year doesn’t just allow me to deliver an unparalleled experience—it also allows me to continue serving couples as they transition from newlyweds to parents!
Whether your little one is currently snuggled away in your belly, on their way to buy their first pair of ballet slippers, or preparing for the first day of middle school, motherhood is a journey that, once it begins, never ends. But most of all, it’s one I believe should be celebrated at every stage! So, I hope to preserve this new chapter in your love story with the same care we dedicate to our wedding clients! Don’t worry over squirmy littles or finding the perfect outfit. My experience is refined to help moms preserve their memories with ease! Let’s fill your family photo albums with tender images you’ll cherish for decades to come.

Once you’ve booked, we’ll begin to craft your session. Because I believe your images should decorate the walls of your home, we plan your session with your home decor in mind! Let’s customize a session to match your taste. From choosing the color palette that will best complement your home, to choosing outfits for each individual family member, to scheduling the best session time that won’t conflict with those must-have baby naps, I’ll work with you to plan every detail of the session.

“CAPTURES YOUR MOMENTS IN SUCH AN ARTISTIC, TIMELESS WAY!”
At our 2017 wedding, Alex and her team were so professional, knew how to manage the day in a smooth and productive way so they didn’t miss any important shots, and most importantly, the end results were beautiful. We have since met up with Alex to have her photograph each of our daughters for their 1st birthdays. Again, we were so happy with her photos. Bottom line: Alex is a talented professional who knows how to streamline her business, limit the number of weddings every year to make sure her brides get a top-notch experience, and no detail is left unnoticed.

Q: When should I book my newborn session?
A: I hold newborn sessions within the first 2-3 weeks after birth, so I recommend inquiring around three months before your due date. We’ll get your date on the calendar as soon as possible so we can catch that impossibly adorable newborn cuteness!
Q: Where are lifestyle sessions generally held?
A: I offer lifestyle sessions in-home for newborns and throughout Central and Northern New Jersey for families. Whether you already know the perfect spot or you’d like me to do a little location scouting, we’ll find the perfect location to match your vision.
Q: What kind of editing do you do in newborn photos?
A: I fully retouch all newborn photos, so don’t worry about flaky facial skin or bumps. Any distractions will be brushed away. But don’t worry! I still keep all of the adorable rolls and chunky cheeks, of course! Your photos will always be true-to-life, just without the blemishes you won’t want to remember anyway.
Q: Can our pet be in the family photo?
A: While I ask that families keep their four-legged family members at home for studio sessions, I’m more than happy to invite them into the frame for lifestyle sessions! If we are at your home or out in nature, feel free to bring them along for the fun. Just let me know during our phone call that you’d like to include your pup so we avoid beaches and parks that aren’t dog-friendly.
