Second birthday portraits in the Maplewood NJ family photography studio

Miss Olivia recently came to our Maplewood, NJ family photography studio for some classic portraits to celebrate her second birthday. You may remember the beautiful newborn and family portraits I created for this gorgeous family in their Scotch Plains, NJ home (shared here), so I was very excited to see Olivia and her baby sister again.

Studio portraits are perfect for any special occasion and I am finding more and more New Jersey families are excited to celebrate birthdays, milestones, and reunions with classic studio portraits. Families with new babies, in particular, have so much to celebrate.

Olivia missed out on a first birthday milestone session, so a second birthday session seemed absolutely perfect, and it was. Mom and I coordinated on wardrobe prior to the session and I suggested a local West Orange baker who makes equally tasty and beautiful naked cakes. Mom recalled seeing my recently acquired vintage wooden highchair when she visited the studio to select artwork from her newborn session, and we agreed portraits of Olivia in the chair would be stunning. They are. Her sweet dress with gold stars and the elegant naked cake with gold accents looked beautiful together. The result of our session are classic birthday portraits and mommy and me images that will look stunning on the walls of their home beside the newborn photos I recently created for them in their Scotch Plains home.
