FEATURED MATERNITY SESSION
AT CROSS ESTATE GARDENS, Bernardsville, NJ

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. 




"Thank you, Debbie! The photos are absolutely beautiful!!!"

maternity SESSION QUESTIONS

Q: WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK A MATERNITY SESSION?

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.

Q: WHERE DO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?

A: Maternity sessions take place outdoors or in the comfort of your home. I have several go-to locations throughout Union, Somerset and Morris County that offer lovely settings for maternity pictures without crowds of people.

Q: WHat should we wear?

A: After booking your session, I'll send you styling tips and suggestions for what to wear, including an outfit inspiration. You can also find lots of suggestions on my Blog. And, I'm happy to create a style inspiration board just for you!
