Celebrate your pregnancy with a relaxed and easy-going maternity session to capture genuine and joyful moments that reflect the excitement of welcoming a new baby.
New Jersey offers so many beautiful locations for outdoor maternity photos, and one of my favorites is Cross Estate Gardens in Bernardsville. Nestled in the hills of Somerset County, this stunning garden feels like a hidden gem--peaceful, romantic, and full of charm.
With its wisteria-draped pergola blooming in spring to gorgeous golden light streaming through trees in summer, and vibrant foliage in fall, Cross Estate Gardens is a dreamy backdrop all year round. The location also features formal flower beds, stone steps, and the historic Cross Estate home--each adding a touch of timeless beauty to your photos.

A: The best time to take maternity photos is typically when you're between 28 and 34 weeks pregnant, but sometimes varies from woman to woman. I recommend booking your session one month ahead so you have time to prepare.
