You deserve photos that feel like your family. Not just what everyone looked like, but what this season of life actually felt like.
Whether you're chasing toddlers through a field, snuggling your baby at home, or spending an evening together at the beach, my goal is to create a relaxed, heartfelt experience where you can simply enjoy being with the people you love most. There’s no pressure to be perfect. The best images come from laughter, curiosity, cuddles, and all of the little in-between moments that make your family yours.
I've poured my heart into creating a process that helps South Jersey families feel comfortable from the very beginning. From planning your session and choosing outfits to gently guiding you when needed, I'll be there every step of the way. My hope is that your gallery feels honest, full of connection, and true to this chapter of your family's story, so years from now, you can look back and remember not just how it looked, but exactly how it felt.
Don’t we all hate when Mother Nature tries to ruin our plans? No worries — if weather gets in the way, we’ll reschedule for the next available date. Just a heads up, I don’t reschedule for wind or cloudy skies — some of my favorite sessions happen on those moody days!
What happens if the weather is bad?
What a great question! Every session includes full access to my client closet, with sizes ranging from XS–4X.
Not feeling anything from the collection? No problem — you’ll also receive a beautifully curated style guide to help you plan outfits that photograph beautifully and feel true to you.
Lauren, what if I don't know what to wear?!?!?!?
If this is your first baby, it can be hard to know exactly when you’ll start to show — or when you’ll still feel like you and not just an incubator (ha!). I typically recommend scheduling your South Jersey maternity session between 28–32 weeks, but truly, it’s all about what feels right for you.
If this isn’t your first rodeo and you start showing earlier, we’ll plan your session a bit sooner to make sure you’re feeling your best and comfortable in front of the camera. Every pregnancy is different — and that’s what makes your story so special.
When should I book my maternity sessions for?
Newborn sessions should be booked as soon as you feel comfortable reaching out — typically toward the end of your second trimester or early in your third. As a South Jersey newborn photographer, my availability shifts with the seasons, so reserving your spot early ensures you’re on my calendar.
When it comes to the actual session, I recommend scheduling it for around two weeks after birth — once you’ve had a little time to settle in at home and adjust to your new rhythm. This sweet spot allows me to capture those dreamy, sleepy moments while you feel more grounded and comfortable.
