Learn about my style and my greatest wish for your photos 108
My approach to photogrpahy is ismple. I want to capture what’s in front of me.
While I understand the appeal of digital sets, AI backgrounds, & photoshopped images - that is not what I provide.
My style is casual and fun. I have the greatest job on earth; I get to be your memory keeper. My goal is to capture photos for you that look like you. Your families memories are important. The way I photograph your family, is how you will remember this time in your life.
It’s vital that that is done well, and without the help of AI.
What you see in the pages are my images- beautifully told love stories. I hope you fall in love with them, just as I will fall in love with your little love story.
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 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
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

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

I can't wait to meet you! My Babies
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.
