I am so excited for all the spring babies coming soon! February and March are fully booked (at reduced availability for the safety of all) and you know what happens in April? Puddles! Greenery! Cherry blossoms!

Me, feeling like spring is just around the corner (even if there is 100% chance of snow on Monday )

Pure sweetness, right? All it took was the promise of a cookie and I got 20 minutes of glorious cooperation (mostly). I’m gearing up to open a beautiful new studio in Essex County, NJ this year . I’m only considering spaces with good ventilation and plenty of space for social distancing. I will continue to accept only a limited number of clients each month to ensure low exposure and high quality service. I will continue to focus on custom maternity, newborn, baby and family ...sessions in studio, in home, and outdoors, but I also plan to use the new space for petite individual portrait sessions. What are those? Well, the concept is currently a work in progress, and do I anticipate mostly photographing adorable young people, but I also hope these sessions will bloom towards collaborations with people on a mission with a message, teens, particularly those passionate about the arts, local business owners, big and small, and our older, wiser generation. Basically, I want to connect, create, and support more people on their journey. Are you excited? I sure am See more

Details are important. I learned this as a lawyer and I focus on this concept as a mother and artist. Which detail image takes you back to baby days the most?

Yes, kids can totally rock out before sitting still if that’s their style. Those often end up being some of my very favorite images
