SEPTEMBER 23, 2015

Toms River, New Jersey

The single best part of my profession is getting to be apart of a family’s story.  Getting a phone call or email to set up the next milestone is such a heartwarming feeling.  The fact that a mom’s instinct is to call me to capture those once in a lifetime moments is the best reward I could ever ask for.  This is the complete case for Lindsey, Nelson, Allison & now, Nelson Jr. I have had the pleasure of photographing this growing family a few times over the last year.  When Lindsey contacted me about doing her maternity & in-hospital newborn session, I was beyond excited.  We chatted over the next few months and planned the details for their upcoming sessions.  The best little surprise was that Nelson Jr. was due to arrive on my birthday!  We figured that since not many babies are actually born on their due dates, that it probably wouldn’t happen, but what better gift could I ask for then to spend my birthday with a brand new baby!  Little Nelson made his debut in the late afternoon on September 22nd and I headed down to meet the newest addition on my birthday 🙂  Fresh 48 sessions are growing to be my favorite types of sessions to shoot.  You get to capture the raw emotion between a family on one of the happiest days of their lives & I can’t think of anything more heart-moving than that.

Take a look at some of my favorite images documenting this growing little family & make sure to leave a comment so I know you were here!

Congratulations Lindsey, Nelson & big sister, Allison!
