A NEW JERSEY NEWBORN AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE
FOR BUSY FAMILIES LOOKING FOR A STRESS-FREE EXPERIENCE
Your wedding day marked the beginning of something beautiful - a life together that unfolds in chapters worth preserving. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, celebrating motherhood, capturing playful moments with your family, or documenting another life milestone, our portrait experience is crafted with the same care and intention we bring to every wedding.
Life moves fast. Children grow, seasons change, and moments once fleeting become treasured memories. At Idalia Photography, we believe these chapters deserve thoughtful documentation - imagery that feels natural and elevated today and becomes a legacy you’ll return to for years to come.
Our sessions are designed to be stress-free and tailored to your family’s personality and vision - whether in our studio or at a meaningful location that reflects your story. From thoughtful planning to intentional execution and heirloom creation, we guide each step with refinement and care.

The
Investment
An Experience Designed with Intention
We believe luxury is defined not only by beautiful imagery, but by the experience surrounding it. It begins with thoughtful preparation and continues through a guided design process that ensures every detail is considered. While the final portraits are crafted to endure, equal care is given to how the experience feels - organized, intentional, and free from unnecessary stress.
Our portrait experience has been carefully refined to support you before, during, and long after your session, resulting in artwork designed to live beautifully within your home.
Sessions start at $750 with most clients investing $2,500 or more
Q: When should I book my newborn session?
We recommend inquiring after your 20-week anatomy scan to ensure availability. Newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first two to three weeks after birth, when babies are still in those early, restful days that photograph beautifully. Once you’re booked, we’ll reserve space around your due date and adjust the exact session date once your baby arrives.
This allows us to plan thoughtfully while preserving those fleeting first moments with intention.
Q: Where do maternity and newborn sessions take place?
Maternity and newborn sessions may be held in our Point Pleasant, NJ studio or at a thoughtfully selected on-location setting. Maternity sessions are often photographed outdoors - at a scenic beach, park, or meaningful location that reflects your season of life. Newborn sessions may take place in-studio for a clean, refined aesthetic, or in the comfort of your home for a relaxed, lifestyle approach.
During planning, we’ll guide you in selecting the environment that best supports your vision and the overall look you’d like to achieve.
Q: Where do family sessions take place?
Family sessions are typically held at a thoughtfully selected outdoor location - often a scenic park or beach that complements your family’s season of life.
Once your session is booked, we’ll guide you through location options during your planning appointment, ensuring the setting aligns with your vision and the overall aesthetic you’d like to achieve.
Q: Can our pet be in the family photo?
We kindly ask that pets remain at home for studio sessions to maintain a calm and controlled environment. For outdoor or in-home lifestyle sessions, pets are welcome to be included. If you’d like your dog to join, simply let us know during your planning appointment so we can select a pet-friendly location and ensure the session flows smoothly.
“CAPTURES YOUR MOMENTS IN SUCH AN ARTISTIC, TIMELESS WAY!”
At our 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.

WITH INTENTION
A Thoughtfully Designed Portrait Experience for Growing Families
The early years pass quickly - from tiny hands wrapped around yours to the quiet pride of watching them step into the next season of life.
Each chapter deserves to be documented with care and intention, not simply captured in passing. Through a structured, new-mom-approved process, we create space for meaningful moments to unfold naturally - without unnecessary stress or overwhelm.
The result is imagery that reflects your family as you are today, thoughtfully preserved for the years ahead.
