Medford New Jersey Family Photography Session with a Fellow Photography Bestie
Every November, photographers like me realize, “Hey, we didn’t schedule our OWN family photos!” So I immediately reached out to a friend/photographer of mine, of Laura Leigh Photo, to see if she could fit my family into her schedule AND to see if she had gotten her own family photographed yet. We met literally on a side of the road in November for a quick family session between getting the kids off the bus, and the sun setting at 4:30pm. Photographing this family is always filled with giggles, smiles, and of course a little roughhousing (read: boys). This was so much fun and I cannot wait to see which random road we end up on next year!
Ocean City New Jersey Family Photography Session Fun with the S Family
As a photographer, there's nothing quite like the joy of capturing precious family moments, especially when the backdrop is a sun-soaked beach town like Ocean City, New Jersey (my favorite beach town!). This summer, I had the pleasure of photographing the adventurous S family as they spent the evening in their summer haven, creating memories to last a lifetime. Their session was the perfect mix of what I love to offer my clients- posed AND candid moments. Let’s all hold our coffee close and pretend it’s a warm August evening as we reminisce on this gorgeous session filled with smiles, boats, and kites!
Ocean City New Jersey Extended Family Photography Session
I was thrilled to meet up with the A family on a beautiful August evening. Every year, the extended family gathers in Ocean City, New Jersey for a weeklong tradition of beach days, cousin playtime, and multigenerational family fun. Photographing the same family for the second year in a row has been an extraordinary experience. It has reinforced my belief in the power of photography to capture not only moments but also the beautiful journey of life. The A family's story continues to unfold, and I can't wait to see how it evolves in the years to come. As a photographer, I'm privileged to be a part of their story, freezing these cherished moments in time for them to treasure forever.
Avalon New Jersey Beach Extended Family Photos
An extended family beach photography session is an opportunity to celebrate the beauty of your family's connection in a breathtaking setting. It's a chance to capture genuine smiles, laughter, and cherished moments that will be treasured for years to come. Whether your family is large or small, young or old, a day at the beach can create a timeless story that you'll carry with you, a reminder of the love and unity that defines your extended family. I loved working with the G family to capture multigenerational memories in gorgeous Avalon, New Jersey!
Ocean City, NJ Family Beach Portraits - B Family
Cotton candy skies, warm breeze, children laughing. THIS is what summer evenings are all about in Ocean City, New Jersey - my happy place. The B family has been trusting me for a few years now to capture their family, and this year was very special, because grandmom and grandpop joined as well! What a FABULOUS way to commemorate a family vacation or to spend an evening with family. The B family was down for just one evening and was headed over to the famous Ocean City, New Jersey boardwalk for ice cream and of course, the rides.
Are you considering a family photo shoot at the beach? I would love to be considered!
Whitesbog Village Family Session: Danielle
There’s nothing like watching a family grow throughout the years. But with photographing a family every year, we have the challenge of keeping the location fresh- this year we decided on Whitesbog Historic Village in Browns Mills, New Jersey. We traveled down a dirt road for quite some time and then we found it- such a hidden gem.
Danielle is a friend of mine, and my bride’s probably recognize her from their wedding day- as we often shoot together- she’s my work wife :) She has the best fashion sense right down to everyone’s outfits- even the kids.
We had some beautiful winter light shining through the trees along hiking paths and hopefully made some new great photographs (and memories) for this very special family.
Best of 2022 - Family Sessions
Family sessions are a favorite. This year included in-home sessions, beach sessions, maternity sessions, and the classic Fall sessions. I loved working with all of these families to take a snapshot in the moment.
Smithville Inn Maternity Session: Katie and Dave
I photographed Katie and Dave’s beautiful beach wedding in September of 2018. I was beyond thrilled to hear they were expecting and even more excited when they asked if I would document their maternity session. They decided on historic Smithville in Galloway, New Jersey in December to capture the joy of Christmas and I was beyond excited because… Christmas lights! You know every photographer loves them and I’m no exception. Katie and Dave brought along their first (fur) baby- Zoey- who is now a proud big sister- she’s so adorable. She was also a part of their engagement photos and wedding day! We strolled around stopping at the infamous Christmas Shoppe, carousel, and even saw Mrs. Claus who INSISTED we come into her little home and take photos (see the last photo). It was a tiny room and not the most ideal place to shoot, BUT I can’t justify making Mrs. Claus upset in December and still expect Santa to come to our house. :) Katie and Dave recently welcomed the two new loves of their lives into the world on Valentine’s Day- how adorable! I’m imagining their first birthday photos with SOOO many hearts- this is perfect because Katie is so creative and I can see her thinking of some really special ideas for them! Congrats to the new family of five (including Zoey)!
The Christmas Shoppe in Historic Smithville in Galloway is the perfect backdrop any time of year because who doesn’t love Christmas!?
Meet Zoey! Proud big sister <3
Twinning!
I adore the carousel at Historic Smithville.
Dave makes Katie smile and it’s so adorable!
Katie, you are such a beautiful momma!

Barclay Farmstead Photographer: The Kyler Family
One Sunday morning, I met up with this adorable family of four, to capture their first family photograph. (Holy alliteration.) We headed to Barclay Farmstead, and what an awesome little spot it was! Rustic, rustic, and more rustic. They are such an adorable family with such fun and well-behaved kids, and just all-round awesome parents.
