This was my second time at this adorable farm and it was just as fun as I remembered! We visited Happy Day Farm for Elizabeth’s 1st birthday and it was the best! The flowers were beautiful, the props were so cute and of course the birthday girl looked absolutely adorable in every setting! We sat by the sunflowers, pretended to sell some lemonade and even played the piano! This sweet girl did such a great job for her first birthday session!

It’s always so fun to do a session at a client’s home and this one did not disappoint. This awesome family had the most beautiful backyard and it made the best place for taking photos. The sun was out and the sky was blue; we couldn’t have had a more beautiful day! They were all coordinated perfectly, including their sweet pup and they made the session so much fun! -Michelle 🙂
This session was super special because like many of my clients and friends, I’ve captured many of this awesome family’s photos in the past. From engagements to save the dates, and now their sweet newborn, Austin! This little guy was so cute and super snuggly! He loved posing with his mom and dad and he was so alert for a lot of our session! He was a little wiggle worm and it was so adorable to see. He did get cozy towards the end of our session and fell asleep looking absolutely perfect! Welcome Baby Austin!

I was so excited when one of my friend’s asked me to do a photo session for her sister’s graduation! During the last few weeks of my senior year in college, so many of my friends asked me to photograph them in their cap and gowns and it was so much fun! When I got to do it again for these beautiful girls, it was just as fun; and I got to relive my time as a senior in college! The girls had such cute props, so many fun ideas for posing and of course had the best outfits! We had so much fun exploring the campus and finding the best places for our photos. I think the best part was when the girls popped the champagne at the end of our session! Such a fun day celebrating these sweet seniors!

I’ve photographed this awesome family before but only when it was just mom and dad! I’ve captured their engagement and maternity sessions so when it was finally time for their newborn session I was so excited! Miss Caroline Claire was an absolute angel during her session and loved being snuggled up with mom and dad. She let us swaddle and change her so many times and she even loved it when we put her in her little giraffe! It’s been so special to photograph this adorable family and I can’t wait for our next photo session!

For this awesome session I was back at one of my favorite parks in Spring Lake. We had the best spring day and the weather was perfect. Mom, dad and big sis were ready to go for our sweet maternity session and it was so fun talking with them about the arrival of another baby girl! We explored the park and found the best places to take photos but my favorite part was when big sis was my big helper! Whenever mom and dad were taking pictures together, big sister would stand right next to me to make sure mom and dad were smiling and posing nicely! It was so sweet! I can’t wait to meet this new baby girl soon!

Anytime I get to photograph my niece is one of my favorite moments! Although I was busy with Godmother duties for most of the day, I of course brought my camera along to capture any sweet moment that I could during Maeve’s baptism. Maeve was baptized at the beautiful Faith Lutheran Church in New Providence, NJ. She was the only baby being baptized during the church service and it was so special to have our family and friends front and center to witness it! Maeve loved watching everyone at church and although she didn’t love the actual water on her head, she did amazing! The best part was that Maeve wore the same baptism dress that my sister and I wore when we were baptized! After the beautiful ceremony, we celebrated with everyone and it was so fun! It was the perfect day for a perfect girl!

Every time I photograph this family, it’s always so fun! We’ve returned for the beach during this sunset session and the kids loved it! From sitting for photos with mom and dad to running/trying to crawl through the sand, this crew was ready for fun! We had the perfect weather and the sunset was amazing! My favorite part of this session however was towards the end when big sister decided it was time for swimming! She changed out of her dress and got right into her bathing suit! I loved watching her run up and down the beach and say hi to the waves! The best!

I love an extended family photo session! It’s so special when families get together for vacation and decide to get photos done. It’s such a great way to capture the memories and fun had during a family vacation. This family was so sweet and our session was awesome! We met at their vacation house and walked up the hill to the beach in Mantoloking. We had a beautiful, blue sky and the dunes made for a perfect backdrop. After our beach photos, we went back to the house, which was right on the water, and did more photos with the boats passing by in the background! It was the best way to spend a summer afternoon!

I’ve been photographing this sweet family ever since little Addison was born! We did all her milestone photos and I’ve loved watching her and her big brother grow up! We went to the beautiful Divine Park in Spring Lake and we had the best lighting! We posed with some balloons and ran around the park all while capturing sweet baby Addison. Then we headed up to the beach to take more photos with the whole family! The kids loved playing in the sand and walking on the jetty with mom and dad! Happy First Birthday Addison!
