Hi there!

First of all…I am so happy to have you here! I mean it!

My name is Joan Marie and I am obsessed with photography. Maybe not so much photography, but the practice of documenting everything! From the really big moments to the seemingly mundane. I find the magic in everything that I do and that carries into the way (and the what) I photograph. I’m a momma to two boys who are not so little anymore. I call Fanwood, NJ home, but I really believe that home isn’t so much a place as it is a feeling. Sometimes it’s a memory. Sometimes it’s a person. And oftentimes it is the moment, the place, the person that I am photographing with my camera. A photograph has the ability to take you back there, to home.

I find connection in people and their lives, their professions, their love, their babies and pets. And it is through that connection that I find my inspiration and power to photograph what my heart sees. I am love. And that is why I do what I do. I can’t wait to share that with you!

First Holy Communion in Scotch Plains, NJ As a photographer, I often find myself in the midst of heartwarming celebrations, and a recent communion shoot in Scotch Plains at my studio was a perfect example of just that. Join me as I recount the joyous occasion of photographing twin boys as they celebrated their communion, with their darling little sister by their side....

You have no idea how many backdrops I own...LOL. But this is one that I recently got and I am so in love with the soft tones of it! It's hard to believe that this baby was just shy of 2 months old! 

I typically do my Newborn sessions when baby is around 2 weeks old. But that has never stopped me from taking on an "older" baby. Sounds ridiculous, right? HAHA!

But there is a reason for this. There is ALOT of work that goes in behind the scenes of a newborn shoot. These beautiful images, poses, that you see in the final product can take a really long time to get. When babies are new, they sleep more and are more flexible/pliable being that they just came from the womb. As they get "older", they are more alert/awake and their body becomes a bit more stiff and more difficult to get into the really squishy poses.

But, like I said, that has never stopped me from doing a newborn session with an "older"baby. Usually the parents are super appreciative because they may have missed the ball, forgot to schedule, or just got caught up with life and didn't consider booking a newborn shoot! 

Anyways, just look at this beauty! So sweet and pretty <3
