We'll chat by phone about your goals for your Family Photo Session. I want to hear all about your family, favorite activities, and any special expressions or gestures you want to capture. This helps me plan the perfect session for your family. I'll provide helpful tips for choosing your clothing and preparing for a fun and stress-free session. Together, we'll choose a location best suited to your family's personality, and to coordinate with your home decor. This will make selecting custom wall art for your session images a breeze!

New Jersey Family Photo Sessions take place outdoors at a park, woods, reservoir or downtown area, in and around Union County, including Westfield, Scotch Plains, Fanwood, Mountainside, Cranford and Summit, as well as Somerset and Morris County, including Basking Ridge, Madison and Morristown. Outdoor sessions are scheduled 1.5 - 2 hours before sunset when the light is most beautiful. In home newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your home and are typically scheduled at 10 am.  

As a mom, I understand the stress of getting everyone ready for your family photo session, arriving on time, and worrying how your kids will behave. I've been there! Please DON'T stress about your kids. Relax, let your kids be themselves, and ENJOY being with your family. I'll handle everything else during your session. By letting your kids be themselves, I'll be able to capture authentic and natural images that reflect their personality and that you'll truly LOVE.

If the weather is cloudy, we'll still have your session. If it's raining on the day of your session, I'll contact you within two hours of the scheduled shoot if we need to reschedule due to rain.

Approximately three weeks after your Portrait Session, I'll email you a link to a private online Gallery so that you may preview images before your Ordering Session. 

No. Digital images are purchased after your photo session and during the ordering session. This allows you to choose only what you love. The session fee paid at booking covers my time and talent that goes into planning your session, your phone consult, your photo session, digital processing and professional hand editing of images, and your ordering appointment. 

Every family is different, but families typically invest $1,200 to $2,500 on their digital and printed photo products.

Digital files are available for download within 24 hours of purchase. Custom designed photo albums and wall art may take up to four weeks. 

Your Ordering Session will take place in the comfort of your home or via phone/Zoom.  I’ll show you a customized visual design to help you envision how your images will look on your own walls at various sizes (View Wall Inspiration Here!). You'll get to see and touch art products, including gallery wrapped canvas, fine art prints, heirloom albums and books. I'll help you choose the perfect products for your family and your home. I recommend that all decision makers are present for your Ordering Session because you will be asked to place your order and submit payment at this time. Additional ordering appointments will incur a fee.
