Celebrate your pregnancy with a fun and easy-going maternity session to capture natural and joyful photos that reflect the love, excitement, and anticipation of welcoming a new baby.
New Jersey has so many gorgeous gardens that offer stunning settings for a maternity photoshoot. One favorite location for families and couples alike is Cross Estate Gardens. Set among the hills of Somerset County, Cross Estate Gardens, which is located in Bernardsville, feels like a secret garden you want to keep all to yourself.
From the stunning wisteria-covered pergola that blooms in spring to gorgeous golden light and fall foliage, this is a favorite spot for photographers and families. Other features include formal flower gardens, stone steps and the former Cross Estate.

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.
