Family Lifestyle Photographer

One of the most beautiful parts of being a family lifestyle photographer is capturing moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime. I’m a maternity, newborn, and family portrait photographer devoted to documenting the sentimental, fleeting seasons that make your family story uniquely yours. As a mom to a little boy myself, I know how quickly these moments pass and how meaningful it is to preserve them with intention and heart. I create natural, emotive images that feel timeless and deeply personal, offering thoughtfully tailored sessions and a calm, personalized experience designed to capture your most authentic family moments.

Based in Ridgewood, NJ, in Bergen County, I travel regularly to New York City and within New York and New Jersey for newborn, maternity, and family sessions.
