Spring Maternity Photography With Selva | Maternity Photographer Maplewood NJ

Golden Hour Maternity Photography in Maplewood NJ

Selva was expecting a Baby Girl in June and I wanted to take her styled maternity photography session to a beautiful outdoor location. With Spring in full swing, I love to photograph my expecting clients against backdrops filled with blooms and beautiful light. The evening didn’t disappoint and this beautiful mama-to-be was absolutely glowing in the golden hour light.

Selva was pretty comfortable in front of the camera from the get-go, and we moved around the location, changed her into four different gowns, and captured her baby bump in a beautiful way.

Maternity Photographer Maplewood NJ - Client Wardrobe

As a maternity photographer, I strive to make my clients look and feel beautiful for these very special photos because I know that once Baby arrives, they’ll be revisiting their bump photos out of nostalgia and will be in awe of what their bodies are capable of!

I love dressing my maternity clients into photo-worthy maternity gowns to showcase their baby bumps, and have a selection of several gowns in my client wardrobe. Clients really appreciate having this option for dressing up their bellies, especially given the fact that very few things from their closets fit well at this stage of pregnancy.

Check out some of the images we captured for Selva and her Baby bump:

Cherry Blossom Maternity Photography With Carol | Maternity Photographer Millburn NJ

Gorgeous Cherry Blossom Maternity Photography in Millburn NJ

Spring was a bit capricious leading up to our maternity photography session with Carol. We got rained out a couple of times but our patience finally paid off, and we caught a beautiful day during the Cherry Blossom season.

Carol was expecting a Baby Girl in May and wanted to have her styled maternity photoshoot outdoors, set against beautiful Spring scenery.

Spring is my absolute favorite season and I’m majorly obsessed with Cherry Blossoms, so this session was not only beautiful but also good for my soul!

Carol’s Baby Girl arrived just in time for Mother’s Day - what a precious gift! Here are some of the images we created for Carol:

Mommy And Me Motherhood Sessions Are The Best Mother's Day Gift | NJ Photographer

Motherhood Photography Sessions - A Priceless Gift To Cherish Forever

You’re a Mom. You are amazing (never mind that pesky little voice inside your head that occasionally pops us trying to convince you otherwise - all lies!)

This phase in your life - this most gratifying, exhausting, priceless blessing - must be documented. When your babies leave your home, these are the moments you’ll be coming back to…

You take endless photos of your kids and believe that you’re doing your best to document their childhood. But what about you? Do you have solid (and beautiful) photographic proof to show that you were there, too?

I believe the best Mother's Day Gifts are made of moments. What’s more special than the moments you share every day with your babies? As a photographer, I love capturing these memories to celebrate YOU and your unique bond. Because I’m a mom myself, and I know how special these images will be, both for you and your children.

This session is about YOU. Let’s get together and create beautiful images capturing your motherhood.

I'm making Mother's Day gift shopping super easy for your SOs - just forward this post to them and give a tiny nudge! They’ll love not having to come up with brilliant ideas of their own ;)

I’m offering a limited run of Cherry Blossom sessions this year. It’s a beautiful time to capture your precious motherhood moments.

Workshop Announcement | Mama Takes Great Photos | Babies Under 10 Months Old

NJ Photography Class for Moms: Take Better Photos Of Your Baby

Join me for this 90-minute Mommy and Me workshop and learn how to take amazing photos of your Baby!

Our Babies are super cute and growing way too fast! Documenting these precious days is something you’ll never ever regret! And because you are (most likely) the dedicated day-to-day Baby photographer in your household, wouldn’t you want to learn some secrets from a professional newborn and child photographer?

No fancy equipment is required for this workshop because this is not a learn-how-to-use-your-camera kind of class. Instead, I’ll be sharing tips, mistakes to avoid, and some of my pro tricks with you while you use your camera-enabled smart phone for your practice shots. Of course, most principles can be applied to photos taken with any other camera.

This workshop will be broken down into two parts:

  1. Baby-”free” learning session*

  2. Hands-on practice with your Baby

*A babysitter will be available to assist with babies while you learn :)

I know how challenging it is to stay focused on learning with your LO in the room, so I will bring in a babysitter and provide a safe playroom for your babies to explore and enjoy while we focus on the first part of our workshop.

This event will be held in my home. I will follow up with the exact location and more details closer to the workshop date.

Date: March 2, 2019

Please note:

  • this specific workshop is limited to Babies who up to 10 months old (non-walkers)

  • there’s a 4 participant minimum for this class to run

  • limited to 7 moms

  • In case of inclement weather or my illness, I will work with the entire group to reschedule
