Tri-State Family Photographer

Capturing Life’s most precious memories for families through New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.

Every step of your family’s journey together is beautiful, and it deserves to be documented! I’m honored to create timeless artwork of your moments and memories—at all ages and stages. My photography style is focused on capturing the essence of people and relationships. Our time together will be spent highlighting your family’s love and connection through gentle posing that feels natural, playful, and relaxed.

“Moving to a new area, it was time to find a new photographer. We hit the lotto finding Jennifer. She has kids, so she gets it. Super patient and good at talking with little ones. I love a photographer who will lead a session and pose you. Jennifer does just that and doesn’t rely on you to do it all yourself. With that said she also asks you what you want and what specific ideas you have. Best of both worlds! She is super friendly and makes the session feel comfortable. I can’t recommend her enough. ”

I am an all-inclusive child and family photographer, so I include digital files as part of the package price for each of my sessions. No need to purchase these separately! I want you to be able to share your memories in the way that is most meaningful to you. Whether this means sharing digitals on social media or ordering prints from my store or your choice of photo lab, digital files give you the most options for how you display your images.

Child and Family FAQs

Most family sessions take place outdoors, so wear something that will stand out against the background. I also recommend choosing two or three key colors, using layers to mix and match, and wearing complementary colors and patterns rather than trying to match each other exactly. You can check out this blog post for more tips on choosing the perfect outfit.
The great outdoors is my favorite place for family sessions! This gives us lots of room to work (and for kids to run around and play if they need to burn off energy!) My studio is also available for child and family portraits, but due to space constraints I recommend that we choose an outdoor location if your family includes more than four members.
While my studio cannot accommodate pets, you are welcome to bring your fur-babies for an outdoor session! I want you to be able to include every member of the family, including the four-legged ones!
Yes! I will send the link for your proof gallery to the email on file for the person who booked the session, and they can share it with as many family members as needed. My extended family sessions come with a higher number of digital files so that each family group can have their own little collection of photos.
My turnaround time is very quick and is one of the things that sets me apart from other photographers. You’ll receive your proof gallery by the day after your session. Once you’ve chosen your images, I’ll get to work editing each photo to perfection! You’re guaranteed to receive your finished images within 2 weeks…but usually it’s more like 2 days. :)
