Carey + Christian • Willowwood Arboretum Parents-to-be Session

 • NEW JERSEY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER • 



One of the greatest joys of my work is getting to be part of so many love stories—documenting the big milestones, the quiet moments, and everything in between. Watching couples grow, from engagements to weddings and beyond, is a privilege I cherish every day.

Carey and Christian’s journey has been one of those incredible stories. From capturing their engagement to their wedding, and now their maternity session, I’ve loved witnessing their love deepen with each chapter. Their session was simply magical—the golden hour light, the love in their eyes, and the quiet anticipation of this new beginning made every moment so special.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do. 
Carey and Christian, thank you for allowing me to document your love story—I couldn’t be happier for you both and can’t wait to see the love and joy this new chapter brings!

Samantha is 13!

• NEW JERSEY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER • 

Today marks an incredible milestone—Samantha is officially a teenager! It feels like just yesterday she was a little girl, full of wonder and curiosity, and now she is stepping confidently into her teenage years, growing into an extraordinary young person.


This past year has been nothing short of amazing. Samantha's hard work and dedication paid off as she earned a spot in both Algebra Honors and English Honors—an achievement that speaks volumes about her intelligence, determination, and perseverance. She continues to thrive in school, challenging herself and pushing beyond limits with a drive that is truly inspiring.


Beyond academics, she shined in cheerleading during the fall season, bringing energy, spirit, and dedication to the sidelines. Her love for tumbling remains strong, and it’s incredible to see her grow stronger and more confident with each practice. Whether it’s nailing a new skill or supporting her teammates, her passion is undeniable.


Sam also took the stage this winter in her middle school play, Legally Blonde, where she showcased her love for singing and acting. Performing brings her so much joy, and it’s amazing to see her confidence grow as she steps into different roles and shares her talent with others.


One of the most remarkable things about her is how beautifully she balances ambition with kindness. She is smart, funny, curious, and fiercely driven, but she is also compassionate and full of heart. She makes people laugh, asks thoughtful questions, and approaches life with a determination that is inspiring. Watching her grow—not just in height (she’s almost as tall as her mom now!) but in wisdom and character—brings so much joy.


As Sam enters her teenage years, she will undoubtedly continue to take on the world with the same energy and passion that she always has. It will be exciting to see all the amazing things she will accomplish, the memories she will create, and the adventures that lie ahead. No matter how tall she grows or how many years pass, she will always be the little girl who stole my heart.


Happy 13th birthday, my Love! 
You are truly an inspiration, and this new chapter is sure to be just as amazing as you are.
