The Latest on the Blog
Hi, mama! I'm Kristen.
I am a wife, mother of 3, and a published maternity, newborn and family portrait photographer based out of Wall, NJ.
For over 10 years, I have had the honor of photographing for hundreds and hundreds of moms and their families. I am so passionate about creating gorgeous portraits of your pregnancy, your baby, your family, and YOU, and to providing a luxurious experiences that makes it easy to have printed memories of the moments you wish could last forever.
My love for documenting life with portraits goes back to childhood when I received a little yellow 35mm for my sixth birthday. Years later, I was a young mom and owned a dance studio. I wanted to learn how to take pictures of my son with a blurred background and capture sharp images of my ballerinas leaping. I purchased a DSLR and began practicing daily. Soon after, I had business cards and in 2010, started a family photography business.
10 years later, I am completely honored to share my journey so that I can document theirs.
If you are interested in learning more about how I can create gorgeous images for you, I would love to chat with you. Fill out any form on my page for more information, or call me at 732.966.7987.
I can't wait to learn more about you and plan an incredible portrait experience and stunning images you will love for a lifetime.
