• NEW JERSEY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER •
There’s something really special about photographing this stage of life.
It’s a season filled with waiting and wondering, where you know things are about to change, but right now still feels full and steady. That’s exactly what it felt like spending time with Summer and Michael.
We started their session in the studio, which set a calm, relaxed tone. With fewer distractions, it was easy to focus on the small things. The way they naturally leaned into each other. The quiet smiles. The comfort that comes from being fully at ease with someone. Nothing felt forced. It was just them, enjoying the moment they’re in.
Afterward, we headed outside to take advantage of the fall colors. The trees were glowing, the air was crisp, and the light was warm in that way only autumn can be. Being surrounded by all that color felt like the perfect backdrop for this chapter of their lives. Everything felt alive and changing, but still grounded.
As we walked and talked, the session became lighter and more playful. There was laughter, easy conversation, and that unmistakable sense of excitement for what’s ahead. You could feel how connected they are, not just as a couple, but as a team stepping into something new together.
Sessions like this are always a reminder that love doesn’t stay the same. It grows, shifts, and becomes something deeper over time. For Summer and Michael, this season isn’t just about waiting. It’s about becoming.
And capturing that, right here in the middle of it all, is what makes these sessions so meaningful.
