simply be present
Let the anticipation build, not the stress! Your family session should be a time to relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories together. I understand the challenges that come with capturing the perfect family portrait. That's why I handle everything from wardrobe consultations that ensure everyone looks their best to help even the shyest little ones feel comfortable in front of the camera. And of course, I'll guide you through the entire process, from choosing the perfect location to designing a stunning gallery wall that showcases your family's unique story. My goal is to create a stress-free, enjoyable experience that results in beautiful photographs you'll cherish for years to come.
Look, I get it. So often, us moms spend so much time taking care of everyone else that we neglect ourselves. We focus on getting photos of our littles…but that means we’re behind the camera, not in the frame with our kids. Let me tell you right now: You deserve to be in the photo, too. You’ll be able to see yourself and your family in a new light through images that capture the beauty of parenthood—the tender way your children look up at you, the way you love each other.
When the nights are long, or years from now, when the kids are grown, these photos will remain a window into this beautiful, chaotic, wondrous, perfectly-imperfect time.
It’s my honor to be a New Jersey family photographer serving families like yours across Hunterdon County and the surrounding central counties of New Jersey.
Beyond poses
This is where it all starts. Inquire to explore how we can make your vision come alive. When you feel ready, we will schedule a date for your family session and you select if you want to come to my studio or if we should be at any of my outdoor locations.
I will always be there to make sure you are prepared, from frequent emails sent out before the session to give you all the information and guidance you need from preparation to final artwork.
Forget wardrobe worries. I will help you select beautiful outfits from my client closet for your session, and provide styling guidance for the rest of your family. You will also get access to some bonus kids wardrobe pieces. If you want, I can help coordinate professional hair and makeup for your session.
This is your day when the only thing you have to do is soak in all the love with your family. Forget about posing or feeling awkward. I'll gently guide you, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and relaxed and capturing your genuine connections.
A while after your session, you'll be invited back to the studio for a personalized viewing. It's a moment when you can hold beautifully printed proofs in your hands, ensuring every detail reflects your vision for your keepsakes.
It's time for your artwork to come home. Your portraits are ready to be displayed and cherished for generations to come. You can pick it up in the studio or have it delivered. I'm also happy to provide hanging assistance if you would like.
More Than Just Photos
Imagine the joy of capturing your baby's precious moments, without the burden of endless photo sorting. As a mother there is limited time and tiny hands can leave creating keepsakes a distant dream.
For this reason, I will help you with this as a part of your experience with me.
Beautiful heirloom albums and wall art will turn your pictures into exquisite works of art. Crafted with the finest materials and designed for generations to cherish, these exclusive keepsakes are heirlooms in the making.
"Anne was great to work with and we are very happy we chose her to do our family photo session. We knew we wanted beautiful, light and airy photos that we could display in our house and share with family and Anne delivered exactly that. She captured our little family beautifully and we will forever look at the photos from the session with joy and appreciation."
Your one-hour family photo session is usually outdoors, which gives you space to explore and relax. These sessions are a fantastic way to capture what your family looks like—how you interact, play, show your love. Before, I’ll work hard to create the exact session you want, with plenty of guidance and some sweet surprises along the way. Want to add the extended family? Let’s chat about it!
