Baby Erika | Mahwah, New Jersey Newborn Session | Bergen County Family Photographer

I stopped offering newborn sessions this past year while I buckled down and finished the last few requirements of my Ph.D. program. While I was on the final stretch of completing my degree, my niece Erika was born. Of course I couldn’t refuse an opportunity to photograph this sweet girl, so I packed up my camera gear and took a road trip to Mahwah, New Jersey. Here are a few of my favorite photos from our time together!

P.S. I finished my Ph.D. in July and am now offering newborn sessions again!! So, if your family is growing, hit me up for some photos of this exciting time in your lives!

Violet | Berks County Lifestyle Newborn Session | Pennsylvania Family Photographer

My next catch-up blog is of sweet little Violet. This family is near and dear to my heart, and I was so happy to be able to capture these portraits for them while Violet and her mama were in town visiting Violet’s grandma. I love how relaxed and authentic lifestyle newborn sessions are. They focus on the bond between baby and family, and I think this session demonstrates just that.

I hope you enjoy this selection of photos from Violet’s newborn photoshoot (even though she was actually about 1 month old here). ;)

Nora | Harrisburg Lifestyle Newborn Session | Pennsylvania Family Photographer

Over the past few months, I have cut back on photographing everything except weddings and engagements, in order to dedicate enough time to finishing my elusive doctoral degree. This summer, I will be finished with my PhD (Woohoo!!), and will be regularly booking non-wedding clients again.

I thought it would be a nice time to share some of the non-wedding sessions I have photographed recently.

First up is this sweet in-home lifestyle newborn session that I photographed in downtown Harrisburg. Congrats again, Kelly and Al! Thank you for welcoming me and my cameras into your home.
