Why Change? Growing up with 5 people to one bathroom (brutal) we all used one family shampoo and conditioner.  Herbal Essences. For those of you who are my age or older, you may remember the clear bottles with the floral background, and the “You make me feel like a natural woman” commercials.  Then, one day, […]

This year seemed to fly by, but looking back at some of the happiest, most emotional moments, I have been transported back and totally overwhelmed with joy as I remember each and every wedding we were blessed to be part of this year.  2017 was a wonderful year to remember, and I wanted to share […]

I couldn’t have imagined any other way to end my 2017 weddings than with Krista and Brian’s intimate wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster.  I first met them at a coffee shop in Summit, and we discussed all of the details of their wedding from location to lighting.  After our initial meeting, Brian […]

You know how they say “never judge a book by its cover?”  Well, the same applies to people!  More specifically, Kristen and Justin!  Kristen is super calm, quiet, and has the sweetest smile. I would have never guessed that she has such an adventurous spirit!  Besides backpacking to countries I’ve never seen (by herself!), Justin proposed to Kristen […]

I woke up Sunday morning with rainy skies, but a joyful spirit as I packed up my car for my 10 minute drive to Natirar for Courtney and Calvin’s wedding.  Kelly and I met these two (well four, because we had some adorable puppy props!) in Liberty State Park, where we photographed their engagement session.  […]

I think the number one thing I love about weddings is seeing what the best day of my couples’ lives looks like.  For Brenton, the best day of his life was marrying Jessica for sure.  See that picture up there?  He looks at her like that all the time!  I’ve been married a pretty long time, […]

A Classic, Intimate Summer Wedding It’s not very often that I get to photograph intimate weddings, but they are some of my favorites!  From the moment I walked through the door at Brittney’s childhood home, I felt welcome and so comfortable with her sisters, who made up her bridal party, along with her baby niece.  […]

Today my husband and I “celebrate” 14 years of marriage! That sounds so long ago! When I say “celebrate,” I mean that we got married 14 years ago.  In reality, I am photographing a newborn session this morning and going to a baby shower this evening, and my husband is at work. Celebrations will have […]

Carolyn & Kevin’s Califon Wedding When someone from Califon gets married, everyone from Califon knows about it.  It’s a 1 square mile town, and like a country song, we all leave this 1 square mile town for a while, but are drawn right back to it!  I for instance, left my hometown for DC and […]

Natirar Mansion’s Re-Opening! Many years ago, my husband (then boyfriend) and I would drive around the Somerset Hills “Mansion hunting,” while he gave me a brief history of all the great houses that surround us.  One of them was Natirar, “Raritan” spelled backwards after the Raritan River it sits on, in case you didn’t already […]
