A few sneak peeks I couldn’t keep to myself…
From our first messages, I had a feeling this session would be something special. This beautiful momma was looking for exactly the kind of warmth and emotion I love to capture—and by the time we met in person, it already felt like we knew each other.
That kind of connection doesn’t happen by chance—it’s built through trust, honest conversations, and shared excitement long before the camera is even in hand.
Her reaction to the photos is the kind that reminds me why I do this. ❤️

Because the best photos begin with trust.
If you’re dreaming of a session that feels easy, connected, and meaningful—let’s start the conversation.

✨ Some of my favorite maternity sessions aren’t just about photos—they’re about stories.

Each of these incredible mommas chose their location with meaning—places tied to their memories, roots, or simply where they feel most at home.

From mountain escapes to quiet beaches and hidden trails, here are five sessions (and locations) that still stay with me:

1️⃣ Hunter Mountain Resort, NY — Intimate & Scenic
2️⃣ Island Beach State Park, NJ — Dreamy & Secluded
3️⃣ South Mountain Fairy Trail, NJ — Whimsical & Wooded
4️⃣ Lake Hopatcong, NJ — Serene + Lakeside
5️⃣ Keansburg Beach, NJ — Quiet + Tranquil

Every motherhood story begins somewhere… Which one speaks to you? ✨ Drop your favorite number below!

Yesterday I spoke with a new client and she referred to this photo session as the inspiration for her upcoming maternity captures. That just makes my heart so happy.

Grateful forever to @dolphin1124 for trusting me to execute her creative vision.

When we first moved into our very own apartment together in Jackson Heights, Queens, we knew it was going to be a fixer upper (reminding ourselves every step of the way that it was all worth it for the charm). Those first few days of being a first time homeowner felt so surreal and I knew I wanted to capture this feeling, this version of us, amidst all the chaos of prepping it for move in. My phone was quickly propped up on the Galaxy Sander 2000 left by our flooring guy and we each popped into a doorway, creating perhaps one of my favorite photos to look back on.

Fast forward 5 years, past our wedding, job changes, 2 renovations, Covid isolation, and becoming first time parents. We had originally thought this would be our forever home but circumstances had changed and it was time for a move. Then came the absolute chaos of buying a new home while selling our existing home (would not recommend), and also finding out I was pregnant again. In the blink of an eye, we were settled into our new home and it came time to say a last goodbye to our apartment and hand over the keys. We drove back into Queens and, standing in the once again empty apartment, it felt even more surreal than those first few days (this time with two extra team members in tow, one in utero). This time, I wanted to capture the bittersweet feeling overwhelming us. So I propped the phone on the ground, we popped into our respective doorways one last time, our son got his go-to posing face ready, and thus created the perfect complement to the first photo. These now hang side-by-side in our new home.

Words and photos by @jennifhsieh

I met Jen in 2023 when she reached out to me for a family session. She was expecting her second baby and wanted to capture her family of three before the new arrival.

Jen was so warm and engaging as she shared her moving story with me and showed me these photos she had captured. I loved her story so much that I asked her if I could share it. I’m so grateful.

There are so many reasons to capture your story. Saying hello to a new home or saying goodbye to a closed chapter, photos of those moments will keep your memories from fading. ❤️

Some client experiences turn into something even deeper.

Photographing Khrystyne’s motherhood session was such an honor — and her warmth and kindness stayed with me long after the shoot. So when she asked if I would join her on a live interview to share my story with her audience, it felt like such a full-circle moment. And what an honor it was!

It’s connections like these that remind me why I do this work: not just for the images, but for the relationships, the trust, and the stories we get to honor and share.

Thank you, Khrystyne — for trusting me with your motherhood story, and for inviting me to share mine.

If your heart is tugging you to document this season of your motherhood journey, I’d love to connect and create something beautiful for you. 🤍

✨Let’s talk wardrobes “rules” and why I love breaking them.

Worried about colors? What about matching? Do we coordinate, mismatch? What do we do?

Here’s your permission slip: match or don’t. The goal is connection not perfection. It’s important to do what feels right for you and your family because real life looks better in photos than perfection ever could.

The Jennings family showed us exactly how to do it- matching dresses, (because that’s what they love), but ready to play. Their wardrobe was perfect for their story and, no tears were shed. :)

👉 Swipe through for 4 simple wardrobe “rules” I love to share with families before their session.

Which one of these rules do you already embrace? I’d love to hear.

He’s the steady presence. The quiet protector. The one who shows up in the smallest, most meaningful ways—without ever asking for credit.

This Father’s Day, let’s honor the way he leads, the way he protects, and the way he loves.

Not with gadgets or more golf balls, but with something timeless - something that tells the story he’s been part of all along.

If you’ve been thinking about a session, this might be the perfect time.

Send me a message to learn more or book a gift he’ll never forget.

Letting go of the perfect timing…
If you didn’t book photos in the “perfect newborn window,” you didn’t miss a thing.

This precious little angel was six weeks old—wide-eyed, peaceful, and so beautifully present.

The truth is, it’s never too late to begin telling your story.

Because what matters most isn’t the timing… it’s the connection.

Thank you so much @aliciamarierodgers for trusting me to capture such beautiful moments. I just adore your baby and all of his sweet expressions. 🤍

If your baby is already a few weeks old and you’re still hoping to capture this season—there’s still time. I’d be honored to photograph it for you.
