Not only do I have the honor of photographing these precious little babies, but sometimes I get to photograph my own cousins! This is Finbar Toughey. My littlest cousin. He may be a 2nd cousin or 1st cousin twice removed, or some sort of version of a cousin that I still haven’t been able to wrap my head around, but HE’S MY COUSIN! 🙂
Hannah and Stephen came with their little Vivian from NYC for their Maternity session and came back once Finbar was born for their Newborn session. I do Maternity as an add-on for my booked Newborn clients (incase you were wondering). And Hannah had some ideas and inspiration for her Maternity session which I love. Because it is a collaboration after all.
They are the sweetest little family and I will cherish the time we spent together capturing the new life they have built with one another!
While I do not promote or advertise my Maternity Photography (in fact I just realized I didn’t even have my maternity portfolio on my website LOL), I do love them and I offer them as an add-on to booked Newborn Clients. Sessions are approximately 1 hour and take place in The Studio or at a nearby park or home. So if you are booking a Newborn Session, be sure to ask about my Maternity add-on!
Hi, my name is Joan, and I’m a Newborn Photographer in Scotch Plains, NJ. I absolutely LOVE baby photos! From tiny baby fingers and toes to the cute little noises they make. There is no denying that these babies are little miracles. And I am SO BLESSED and GRATEFUL that parents let me snuggle, hold and photograph these tiny blessings that they have brought into this world. And I feel a calling to create beautiful pieces of art with baby as the subject. I love being a Newborn Photographer! Give me ALL the babies!
My newborn sessions take place at my Portrait Studio located in downtown Scotch Plains, NJ. As a Fine Art Portrait Studio I offer a variety of beautiful archival products and wall art for you to display and enjoy in your home for years to come.
Newborn sessions include a complimentary consultation and a personalized and individualized approach to planning your unique session with me. You will have access to all of my props and adorable newborn accessories (shhhh…I have ALOT, just take a look at all my bucket options!) and the best part (besides the day you pickup your artwork)…the gallery reveal and ordering appointment! Imagine sitting with me and looking through your gallery of newborn photos?!
Because I take a very limited number of Newborn Clients each month, I highly recommend you book at least 12 weeks in advance to secure a spot on my calendar! There is a 200 retainer to book and I offer multiple collections, both digital and printed.
Do you offer Maternity Sessions?
The short answer is YES! I really enjoy working with women and showing them how beautiful they are. And what is more beautiful than a woman who is carrying life inside of her? Honestly it’s also so exciting for me to actually be a part of their experience. From meeting and talking about their pregnancy, their hopes, their dreams, their excitement. And then just a few weeks later they’re in my Studio with their new baby. It’s honestly a complete honor.
Maternity sessions are very much a collaboration with my mommas to be. Each woman is unique and I really try to capture their style and beauty in a personalized way. And I think every woman deserves to have images capturing the miracle that is pregnancy!
If you are an expectant mom, dad, parent, grandparent, let’s talk about capturing one of the most important times in your life! You can also peep my work on my instagram!
