CROSS ESTATE GARDENS MATERNITY SESSION || KALENE & MATT

May 14, 2025


A Full-Circle Moment: Maternity Photography at Cross Estate Gardens

There are moments in a photographer's journey that feel profoundly special—this maternity session was one of them. I've known Kalene since before she was born; our families share a deep-rooted connection. Capturing her engagement, wedding, and now her maternity session has been an incredible honor.

For this session, we chose the picturesque Cross Estate Gardens in Bernardsville, NJ. This hidden gem, part of the Morristown National Historical Park, offers a blend of formal gardens and native plant landscapes, providing a serene backdrop for capturing life's precious moments.

As the golden hour bathed the gardens in warm light, Kalene radiated joy and anticipation. Dressed in a flowing gown that caught the gentle breeze, she and Matt shared tender moments amidst the daffodil lined fields and blooming pathways. The gardens' natural beauty complemented their love, creating timeless images that celebrate this new chapter in their lives.

Why Choose Cross Estate Gardens for Your Maternity Session?

Located in the heart of Somerset County, Cross Estate Gardens is a favored location for maternity photography in New Jersey. Its diverse landscapes—from manicured gardens to rustic trails—offer versatile settings for capturing the essence of motherhood. Moreover, the gardens are open daily from dawn to dusk, with free parking and no entry fees, making it an accessible choice for families.

Capturing Your Maternity Journey

If you're an expectant mother in New Jersey seeking to document this special time, consider a maternity session at Cross Estate Gardens. As a photographer experienced in capturing life's milestones, I aim to create images that reflect your unique story and the beauty of motherhood.

To learn more or to schedule your session, feel free to reach out. Let's create lasting memories together in one of New Jersey's most enchanting locations.
