Northern NJ & NY Family & Headshot Photographer
For those who know how beautiful this moment is and how quickly it passes.
What I Photograph:
The Chapters
From the first days with your newborn to the teenage years that seem to arrive overnight. Photographs of your family, just as you are, at every age.
Kids
Headshots that look like your child. Natural expressions, real personality, and photographs made for auditions, agency submissions, and everything they’re working toward.
Headshots & Personal Branding
Whether you’re updating a headshot that’s a few years behind you or building a business of your own, we’ll create photographs that look like you and reflect the work you do.
Maternity, Newborn & Family Photography
Headshots for Young Performers
Portraits for Professionals, Creatives & Entrepreneurs
Finding the Time
It never feels like the right time.
There’s another soccer game, another dance recital, another permission slip on the counter. Then it’s Friday again.
And somewhere in all of that, the kids keep growing.
The stuffed animals still fill the bed, even though your child barely fits beside them anymore. The sneakers by the front door seem to get bigger every time you look at them.
Families often tell me they’ve been meaning to do this for years.
You don’t need perfectly behaved children or a plan for every photograph.
Come together. I’ll help with the rest.
The Experience
I want your session to feel like an afternoon you’re glad you spent together.
Before we meet, we’ll talk about your family, choose a location, and plan outfits you’ll feel comfortable in, just a little more pulled together.
I’ll show you where to stand and give you something to do, so you’re not left wondering.
Children don’t need to perform. They can be curious, quiet, goofy, or shy.
They can collect rocks, stop to watch a butterfly, or tell me everything they know about dinosaurs before we’ve taken a single photograph.
Choosing a Location
Some families choose the beach they return to every summer, the street where their kids learned to ride a bike, or the backyard where they spend most of their evenings.
Some choose home.
I’m based in Hoboken and photograph families throughout Northern New Jersey, Manhattan, Westchester, and the Jersey Shore. I’m always happy to travel somewhere meaningful to you.
If there’s a place that matters to your family, I’d love to hear about it.
The Book
These are your family’s first heirlooms.
Custom Heirloom Albums
Every family collection includes a custom-designed, handcrafted album. Made with exceptional materials and attention to every detail, these books are works of art meant to be held, opened, and enjoyed for generations.
But they’re not just for someday. They’re for right now.
For little hands turning pages, children finding themselves in the photographs, and seeing just how much they are loved.
I want these albums on your coffee table, not tucked away for safekeeping. Part of your family’s everyday life, becoming more meaningful with every passing year.
You’ll have your digital photographs, too. I just don’t want that to be the only place they live.
"The session was one of high-level professionalism"
“I recently engaged with Kim-Lorraine on short notice for a headshot. She happily adjusted her schedule to accommodate mine. The session was one of high-level professionalism that included her thoughtful ways of having me relax and enjoy the session. I am delighted with the photos and the choices I had in selecting what is best for me.”

"The process was so easy, and the photos are stunning"
"Kim did an amazing job capturing my family in a quick mini-session! In under 20 minutes, she delivered a beautifully retouched gallery that truly reflects us. The process was so easy, and the photos are stunning. Highly recommend!"
N. Hamilton
"We can't wait for future sessions with Kim!"
"Kim is an AMAZING photographer. She was so patient with our toddler, made us all feel comfortable and relaxed, and went above and beyond to capture the perfect maternity and family photos. We can't wait for future sessions with Kim!"

The Chapters
First babies, teenage years, and everything in between.
One of my favorite parts of this work is seeing familiar faces come back year after year. Watching the babies I once held become toddlers, then schoolchildren, then teenagers who suddenly look their parents in the eye.
I’d love to photograph your family along the way.
From the Journal
Stories from the families I photograph, a little about life behind the camera, and practical advice for planning your own session.

This is where I share first. New work, session openings, and what’s been on my mind.
No noise. Just what matters.
