Family Photographer Maplewood NJ | Fall Family Photos - The Barreses

If you’re looking for a NJ Family Photographer near Maplewood, please reach out for availability.

Fall was finally showcasing some of its colors in Maplewood as we moved closer to October. As a NJ family photographer, I look forward to this time of year and love scouting locations around Maplewood and South Orange as the foliage turns. The South Mountain Reservation offers some beautiful spots for family photos.

I met the Barrese family at the reservation to capture their Fall family portraits and some playful candid moments.

I absolutely love capturing children’s personalities during my sessions. Alexandra was a bit shy at first but grew more and more curious about me and my big camera as we moved through our session. We did so well, in fact, that we got to two different locations during our photoshoot in Maplewood NJ.

Check out some of their family moments and reach out when you’re ready to book your family photos :)

Cherry Blossom Maternity Portraits with Vera | NJ Maternity Photographer

Last-Minute Cherry Blossom Maternity Photography Session

Outdoor maternity sessions in Spring always have such a magical feel to them. Cherry Blossom sessions are my absolute favorite! With new life unfolding all around us, they providing such a beautiful backdrop and metaphor for the new little person arriving into the world.

Photographing this gorgeous mama-to-be was a beautiful last-minute treat. The cherry trees were just barely starting to bloom and I had a vision of doing this session about a week later but there was no time to wait since Baby Girl was scheduled to arrive just TWO days after our session! Vera looked so radiant and was super excited to meet her baby. So much so that she couldn't stop smiling throughout our whole session! 

Congratulations to this beautiful mama and the whole family! Baby Girl arrived two days later, healthy and sweet as can be!

Cherry Blossom Photography Session | Family Photographer Millburn NJ

Spring teased us for too long this year but it's finally here and seeing the explosions of color sure does make my soul sing. I'm so excited to share some of my Cherry Blossom sessions!

I got to photograph Katherine in Millburn NJ and what a blast we had with this spunky 3.5-year-old! This cutie embraced the whole experience, dressed up like a true Cherry Blossom princess and struck model-worthy poses all over the place! I was amazed at how comfortable she was with my big camera pointed at her. We laughed, ran around, admired the blossoms, made silly jokes and hid behind the blossoms.

Katherine's Dad wasn't planning on being photographed (or smacked in the face with cherry blossoms) but they coordinated so nicely and I just couldn't resist taking a few shots with him in the frame. I always love capturing a few candid images that show the special bond between a parent and a child. For me, these moments are so precious and truly show the unique dynamic each parent has with their children. 

This session brought me so much joy and I smiled the whole time while editing these images.
