Happy Father's Day


I love hearing the little voices calling 'Daddy! Dadda!' and watching the children climb on my husband as if he were a big mountain, or being able to get what they want when mommy isn't around.

There is definitely a soft spot for them in his heart and as much as he tries to deny it, the kids have him wrapped around their fingers. 

And that is the thing about Fathers!
They might seem tough and strong but underneath it all, they are softies when it comes to the little ones.
Dads are our first loves, big teddy bears to hug (nothing cozier than daddy's lap), and our biggest supporters!
They are here to guide us through life and to push us to try over again. Because they believe in us and love us unconditionally!

Happy Father's Day to this wonderful man with whom I get to share the journey of parenthood. 
Your love for our children, your devotion and support is what makes me fall in love with you over and over again! Samantha and Jack are so lucky to call you their daddy! 

And a very Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there!
But most importantly, I would like to wish a wonderful day to my Dad who might be oceans away but is always in my thoughts!

Kocham Cię, Tato!

A Father is neither an anchor to hold us back
nor a sail to take us there,
but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.

The Colby Family • Plymouth, Massachusetts • Family Photography



We spent this Memorial Day weekend traveling up north to visit our friends in Plymouth, MA.

Steve and I met Andrea and Sean while on our 'babymoon' cruise to Bermuda.
Despite the distance- we live in NJ, they in MA - we were able to keep in touch {thanks to Facebook 👍🏻} and see each other from time to time.

We were super excited to spend a few days with them, catch up over a glass of wine and let our children play together. It was such a fun weekend and we are so grateful for their hospitality!

Of course, I could not leave without a few family shots on a nearby beach!

Magdalena + Gary • Maternity Session • New Jersey Photographer


It is one of those sessions that fill my heart with so much happiness.
I absolutely love photographing expecting couples! There is nothing more beautiful than a mommy-to-be and the loving eyes of her husband.

I met with Magdalena and Gary on an exceptionally warm spring afternoon at one of the most gorgeous parks.

Cross Estate Gardens is where they had their wedding pictures taken a little over two years ago and were excited to come back there to capture this special time in their lives.
Their baby girl is due this June and it is hard to miss how much she is loved already!

Congratulations, Maggie and Gary!
It was such an honor and pleasure to photograph these moments for you.

Mac + Zoe at Vintage My Moment • New Jersey Wedding Photographer



Back in January I had the pleasure of visiting Vintage My Moment, a rental and styling company specializing in weddings, located in Highstown, New Jersey.

It was a perfect place to photograph the newest pieces from The House of Mac and Zoe collection.
The decor, the furniture, and the unique vintage pieces handpicked by the owner, Mariya, made for such a romantic setting.

The House of Mac and Zoe has recently added brand new line of veils and crochet pieces embellished with French lace and Swarovski crystals.

Styling with Jennifer • Morristown • New Jersey


I met Jennifer of Style Concierge at one of our Tuesday's Together meet ups {NJ chapter of
  Rising Tide Society} about a year ago. 
Later, we got to collaborate on various shoots {Bicycle ShootInspirational ShootModern Glamour}. And I must admit, I have been impressed with and inspired by her unique sense of style, ever since. It seems so effortless yet so sophisticated. 
When we met she was about to launch her stylist/personal shopper website and blog. A few months later we started working together on creating some fun and fabulous content, from outfit ideas to shopping tips to her favorite essentials. 

I, myself, have become more thoughtful shopping for my clothes, always wondering... what would Jennie think of this outfit? Would she approve? Is it an investment piece or just a seasonal trend? Etc. 

It has truly been a blast collaborating and I cannot wait to see more of her wardrobe ideas!

Here are a few of my favorite looks put together by Jennifer. 

To see more, follow her blog and Instagram, and do not forget to sign up for her newsletter!

Samantha is five!


How is this even possible?! I keep asking myself as Samantha's 5th birthday is approaching. 

Just the other day, she asked me to show her videos of her being only a few minutes old, her first feeding, and the cutest little cry. {I still have them saved on my phone... probably forever ❤️} She loves watching them over and over again. 
And so do I... they bring back the memories of my becoming a mother! 
Being able to hold her for the first time, to smell her, to see her beautiful face... that moment I will never forget. 
And as years go by and she keeps getting bigger, she will always be my baby girl! 

Happy 5th Birthday, My Sweetest Girl!
Please stop growing up so fast! 😘


Here is a look back at Samantha's adventures in the past year 😊 and her quick photoshoot in the park one winter afternoon.
