A Blooming Family: Leanne’s Maternity Session in Scotch Plains
As a maternity photographer in Garwood, NJ I truly get so excited when one of my mommas contacts me to let me know they are expecting! Leanne is one of those people who has truly become a friend over the years. I’ve been lucky enough to celebrate her most important milestones, and having that kind of energy and connection makes these sessions feel like a complete blessing.
From Yoga Studio to Motherhood
If you’re local to the area, you might know Leanne—she owns the incredible M Pilates and Yoga in Garwood, NJ. Her “chill” yoga vibes definitely translate into her sessions. She is so relaxed, and it’s always a joy to capture her glowing during this special time.
Waiting for a New Addition
We had so much fun during this maternity shoot, catching up on life and talking about big sister Violet (who just turned two!). There is something so special about a second pregnancy—the excitement of knowing your family is growing and wondering who this new little person will be.

Baby Theo’s Newborn Session in Scotch Plains NJ
What a blessed baby <3
Seriously, how did I get so lucky?? I don’t know what it is, but I just seem to get the absolute best Clients. When I met Kevin and Tommy they were just the sweetest and knew that they wanted to document this very momentous time with Baby Theo. I always say that I love the connections I get to experience with my Clients. But what I am realizing is I really love to hear the stories of the people that I meet. The love stories, the things that people overcome, the histories and the futures.
Theo’s story is one of adoption. And the adoption stories are always so moving. Sometimes people wait and wait and wait. Well, probably most times! And I can’t imagine how difficult that can be! Sometimes they wait and they get a call that they MAY have a baby, but then something doesn’t work out. I mean, how hard it must be to not get your hopes up or to just constantly be waiting and thinking about that phone call?
I don’t know, I don’t have experience with that myself, but I can only imagine. And then…you get the call that your baby has been born and you’ll be picking him up?! Ugh, my heart explodes. My heart explodes for the couple and for that baby. Just knowing how much they will love and be loved.
Kevin and Tommy are the cutest and I just recently saw a photo of Theo and I can’t believe how much he has grown and how HANDSOME he is!
Something else that I love about this session is the ARTWORK that they picked out for their home. They chose to get a large family portrait on canvas and it came out gorgeous! But that wasn’t without help! The Artist Framer in Cranford designed the most beautiful frame for their piece. I am so impressed by the work that they do and the thought that goes into their frame design. It is an ART in itself! Tommy and Kevin told them about their fireplace with the gunmetal facade and their natural wood coffee table and The Artist Framer designed the most perfect frame, marrying the 2 materials together. Pics below!
HAPPY PRIDE!
It’s PRIDE month and I am SO proud to be able to share this beautiful session. And no, I haven’t been saving this blog post for PRIDE, I’m just REALLY behind on blogging and now it seems like a good time to share this session <3
Thanks Kevin, Tommy and Theo! And thank you to The Artist Framer for displaying my artwork so beautifully! XOXO!
