144 PRICING & INVESTMENT Learn about my style and my greatest wish for your photos.

In these pages you will find recent samples of my maternity and newborn photography work. I'm always excited to share my work with potential clients and I invite you to see the artistic way I'll capture your family too. While you're reading these pages, think of the way you'd like your story told through photos. Make note of the colors and textures you see here, but take the time to feel the photos.

Maternity and Newborn photography are about emotion. If these images speak to you, and you feel like we connect on a deeper level, then I want to be your photographer, not just for now, but for always.

Let's begin at the beginning,

Maternity Photography Maternity Photography is a passion of mine. The connection between Mother and her unborn child is something I am interested in exploring over and over again. My goal is to capture the emotion of anticipation, in a single image.

I want to celebrate your changing body, and photograph you as the goddess that you are.

Maternity sessions are unlike any other session that I do. Maternity is one hour of you and baby posed and shaped in a way that will make you look and feel beautiful.

Maternity sessions take place in my Glen Ridge NJ studio or the location of your choice. NYC, the Jersey Shore, parks, and large empty fields are all options for perfect natural light and plenty of space to connect with your little one.

I will customize your shoot to best serve the needs of your photo session.

I provide gowns of every type and color to my maternity clients. Studio sessions include discrete nude photos upon request. Spouses & children are always welcomed & encouraged to participate.

In Studio Session

In Home Maternity Session

There is something so special about babies & the ocean.

I find myself here with my clients over and over again..

Newborn photography is a journey.

Each session is different, each baby is different, but there are certain elements that never change. I adore newborns. In fact it's my most favorite age.

Those sleepy smiles and baby coos are honestly what gets me through a week. I promise to love and respect your baby, talk you through every pose and prop, and guide you to the package that's best suited for your family.

My newborn clients often become my clients for a lifetime. I have watched countless newborns become toddlers and young adults. It's important to me that we capture this special, short lived time, in the most beautiful way possible.

I am often asked how I decided on these packagesand the answer is a simple one. I wanted to give every person who visits my work a chance to have spectacular newborn images.

The way you remember this part is important, and the way I capture will become your memory.

I offer 3 types of Newborn Sessions.

The Simple Newborn, Session The Essential Newborn Session, and The Complete Newborn Session.

Each session begins with my perfected newborn flow technique.

Babies are first wrapped, then posed in a variety of positions in the traditional bean bag approach.

All prop shots are customized to the family I'm working with.

Every photo is hand edited before placed in your gallery for viewing.

I provide all wraps, outfits, accessories, and props.

Before we shoot I will send you a list of detailed instructions to be completed the morning of our shoot. I do not limit the time we are together, and will work with your little one until I am certain we have their shots.

Typically speaking, in-studio sessions run about 1-1.5 hours long, and in-home sessions run 2-2.5 hours long. In the following pages you will get to learn my packages and what's included in them for you.

Safety is my number one priority when posing your child. I am CPR certified and endorsed by the American Pediatric Association.

The Complete Lifestyle Session gives you beautiful images of your family in your home, in the most natural way possible. These sessions are shot more editorial, and less posed.

These images are meant to make you feel something magical."

-Stephanie Willoughby Award Winning Photograhper Top 100 in the World

______________________________________________________ Over the years I have learned a lot about newborn photography. The correct angles to shoot. The correct lighting, the correct positioning, and the correct color for every skin type. Every photo is hand edited by me, and delivered to you with love.

Your investment in newborn photography reflects the time and care that I will take with each family and on each image. I'm proud to be recognized as one of the top 100 family photographers in the world, and prouder still to be your family's memory keeper.

I do not limit my time I spend with your family during your newborn session. I will work with you and your baby for as long as it takes to get beautiful and meaningful images.

I provide every accessory prop, hair tie, and outfit. You need nothing but your sweet baby, a pacifier, and a bottle or breast (if breastfeeding).

This is more than a birth announcement. This is an art. This is now. This part will go by so quickly.

Capture it perfectly.

Any image can be converted to Black & White, But if you LOVE black and white we need to plan accordingly before your session.

You can add on family & sibling photos to the Simple or Essential Newborn Sessions

The Froggy pose is very popular.

I'm always happy to work with the baby to achieve it, However not every baby is comfy in the pose.

This pose is attempted upon request only.

Fresh 48 Newborn Session

These sessions take place in the hospital during the first 48 hours of life.

My Babies

I can't wait to meet you!

Photography is more than a job for me, it's my passion and my art.

As the mother of 3 kids, I know the importance of capturing now.

Every shoot is customized to the family I am working with.

I am so fortunate to meet my families in the beginning of their journey and continue to grow with them as their children grow up and their families expand.

It was nearly impossible to narrow down this body of work into one magazine that highlights the beauty of my clients and families.

Every set up is customized, every shot is considered, every detail is captured, and every photo is hand edited by me.

From beginning to end, I will be on this photographic journey with you.

Thank you for considering Little Love Stories Photography to tell your family's story.

I am grateful to have you here and excited to meet you.

If you have any questions, please email or call me. hello@littlelovestories.com 646-221-6644
