Family Photography in Hoboken & New York
The Chapters: Family photographs at every age
One day, your child asks you to stop holding their hand as you walk into school.
You still see the little kid. They’re ready for you to see someone older.
Your Family Right Now
Some families are just beginning. Some are welcoming another baby or chasing toddlers through the backyard. Others are realizing the little ones who once fit in their arms are suddenly looking them in the eye.
I want you to recognize your family in these photographs, including the little things you love about being together.
Waiting for Your Baby
Maternity
A baby changes your life long before they arrive.
There are names you’re still trying out, tiny clothes folded into drawers, and conversations about who they might become.
A maternity session gives you photographs of this part, too.
We can photograph in the studio or outside in evening light. I’ll help you get comfortable and guide you as we go.
Newborn
Those first weeks can be a blur.
Tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the sleepy stretches, the way they fit right against your chest.
Newborn sessions move at your baby’s pace.
There’s time to feed, change, and rock them back to sleep as many times as they need.
The First Weeks
Let Them Be Kids
Children don’t have to sit still, smile at the camera, or cooperate every second for this to work.
Some run. Some cling to a parent’s leg. Some want to tell me every detail about the bug they found five minutes ago, and some spend the first fifteen minutes quietly deciding whether they trust me.
We’ll give them time to get comfortable.
I’m watching what they do in between directions: who they run to, what makes them laugh, how they curl up beside you.
Year After Year
One of my favorite parts of this work is watching families return year after year.
I still remember photographing one little girl who barely spoke during our first session.
She stayed close to her mom for nearly the entire time.
This year she walked into the studio, twirled in her dress, and proudly announced,
“I’m the princess of the show.”
We all believed her.
The Experience
Before your session, we’ll choose a location and talk through wardrobe. Ask me whatever’s on your mind.
During the session, I’ll guide you gently and never rush. If your daughter wants to show me the flower she picked, we’ll look at the flower. If your teenager spends the first ten minutes pretending they don’t want to be there, I won’t take it personally. By the end, they’re usually the first one asking to see the back of the camera.
You don’t have to worry about making the session work. That’s my job.
Choosing Your Photographs
After your session, we’ll sit down together and choose your favorites.
Every family collection includes a custom-designed heirloom album.
An album makes it easy to revisit your photographs without having to find them on a hard drive.
I like knowing your children can pull it off the shelf themselves.
Investment
Whether you’re welcoming a new baby or adding another year to the family album, we’ll choose the collection that fits.
Collections begin at $1,000.
