This family session was also a celebration… 2026 was a big year for this family with the arrival of a baby, a new house, and a new dog.

Their new home in Hunterdon County surprised them this summer when everything started blooming and they saw how beautiful the gardens and trees were. Backing up to farmlands and mountain views, their back yard is truly a dream! They knew they wanted to use it as the background for their family photos and I couldn’t agree more! I love doing family sessions at homes, feeling that years from now they’ll provide a sentimental aspect.

We had so much fun strolling around the back yard and into the field. Having the opportunity to make a families first portraits is one of the greatest joys in my life!

Here are the highlights:

I specialize in warm and colorful outdoor portraits for families who want photos of true moments with genuine expressions.

My goal?

To create a comfortable and fun portrait experience for you and your family with excellent customer service.

To capture genuine expression with my “candidly posed” style.

I want to give you an opportunity to print your photographs so you can cherish these fleeting moments for generations.
