Are you a NJ parent looking for sweet, classic portraits of your little baby? You’ve come to the right place. Our Essex County photography studio specializes in wall worthy portraits of newborns, babies, children and families.

There are many talented family photographers in Northern NJ, so what makes a baby and family photography session at our Maplewood portrait studio truly unique?

(1) We make your portrait experience easy.

Why are you having family portraits made? What will you wear? What will you do with your favorite images? A pre-session consultation at the studio or on Zoom allows us to get to know you and your family, understand your style and artwork preferences, and plan your session to create images that meet your needs. We will pull wardrobe that fits well and matches your vision and set up backdrops and lighting so we are ready when you arrive. It’s going to be easy, and fun.

(2) Our portraits are beautifully lit, always.

In the studio we use strobe lighting to ensure we can create light and airy images regardless of the weather outside. We love dramatic lighting, too, but bright whites, soft shadows, and creamy skin texture make for beautiful baby portraits and our lighting techniques ensure every client gets just that. The best part about studio lighting? We are no longer slaves to sun and can schedules sessions at a time that is convenient for baby. Well fed and rested babies are happy, and happy babies make beautiful photographs. Studio lighting for the win!

(3) Nicole is an emotional perfectionist.

At the heart of every baby and family photography studio is an artist. Nicole has become one of Manhattan and New Jersey’s top baby and family photographer’s because is adores babies, cares deeply about people and families, and will obsess over your images as if she was writing an Appellate Brief arguing to reverse defendant’s grant of summary judgement that dismissed her client’s claim. Who’s still reading and knows that Nicole used to be a lawyer? Yes, your images will be edited to perfection and we will go above and beyond for the images your select for framing on your wall. Nicole may cry when she unboxes your beautiful framed print. Emotional. Perfectionist.

With that, here are some favorites from our recently session with Miss Mitzy. She is just learning to sit up, but, boy, is she busy. Be sure to scroll all the way through to see her sweet outfit from the studio wardrobe, which complements her stunning eyes so beautifully.
