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.

Happy Mother's Day!

Boudoir Session with Aleksandra • New Jersey Photographer

Lace and pearls... beautiful curves wrapped in a veil of chiffon...
Sensual and seductive...

Here are a few images from my intimate boudoir session with Aleksandra.

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 Shoot • Inspirational Shoot • Modern 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.

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.

FUN IN THE PARK

Bridal Show • The Westin Governor Morris • Morristown, New Jersey

Nothing short of amazing!

That is what teaming up with Jacqueline Cicala and Cristalle Brides has been every single time!

Therefore, my expectations were pretty high when I walked into the bridal show at The Westin Governor Morris last Saturday.
Cristina and Alejandro of Cristalle Brides along with Jacqueline Cicala of Blowout were showcasing their products and services during the event.
Two models, Alexia and Sophia were wearing dresses from Cristalle Brides newest bridal collection that were beautifully complemented by hair and makeup by Jacqueline, and accessories by Letica Bag.

I was blown away! The looks were absolutely stunning!!

Modern Glamour • Winter Styled Shoot • New Jersey Wedding Photographer

I am still in awe of how everything fell into place despite a few obstacles along the way. 

Debbie and I met at one of our Tuesday's Together meetings (a local chapter of Rising Tide Society) about a year ago. Later on, she photographed my anniversary session and we started chatting about getting together one day to shoot and learn from each other, both being Nikon lovers :-) 

After a busy fall and holiday season, we were finally able to sit down and start planning. We bounced around a few ideas as to the location, theme, and so on. 

In the meantime, during one of my shopping trips 🙄, I came across this absolutely stunning dress by Badgley Mischka and I just knew this was the dress we would design our shoot around. 

I reached out to a few of my wonderful and super creative friends who were generous enough to dedicate their time, effort and their creations to make this shoot one of a kind.

The weather was not on our side that day- we initially were hoping to shoot outdoor at a park but freezing rain made that impossible. Thankfully, Jacqueline let us move our shoot to her new bridal atelier. I honestly believe it all worked out that much better. 

Modern glamour is what I think about the look we created.
Jennifer Weil of Style Concierge paired the sequin dress with white fur and silver stilettos, and it was a perfection!
Hair and makeup by Jacqueline Cicala could not have been more gorgeous!
What about the flowers??? Kerry Patel is truly a floral design genius! I was blown away by her stunning arrangement.
And let's not forget about the invitations- Patty Gibbons of Little Dress Paperie and her amazing team created this beautiful suite especially for us. Incredible!

Last but not least, a huge thanks to my lovely friend, Aleksandra, who has been my muse and has always made herself available for me and yet another shoot!

I am beyond grateful for the amazing team who made it all possible on such short notice! 

Thank you! Thank you!
