welcome to the journal

Jeanine and John actually met on a blind date on the upper east side in New York City during a very crowded Tuesday trivia night. They were instantly attracted to each other as they both will tell you and the rest is history!

Christian and Tom are both avid runners! They both have run marathons and totally enjoy it. They have a mutual friend that started thinking about both of them and wondering if she should try to do the matchmaking game!

Andrew and Jenna went on their first date March 2015. Jenna still recalls Andrew joking around and telling some of his favorite stores, in particular, about his family dog Baxter. He soon had Jenna laughing and laughing which made her forget all about the first date jitters!

Kevin and Madison both went to school in New York City at NYU. They actually met over 6 years ago at a mini-golf event, where Kevin immediately partnered himself with Madison! Madison had mentioned that she just changed her major to photography, not aware that Kevin was a film major. This, of course, led to a most vibrant conversation that they both still remember to this day!

Kelly and Billy met in 2010 at Montclair State University. They were both student teachers at the time together at Northeast Elementary School.They would spend their lunch hours enjoying each other’s company and getting to know one another as just friends!

It was just about two years ago that I received an email from Claire! She was newly engaged and she and Keith had just booked their wedding venue at The Rock Island Lake Club! (One of my favorite venues for sure).

As the summer was getting close to an end, Chelsea and Jon waited with excitement to know that their wedding day was not far off! Chelsea and Jon celebrated their love at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey where their families all gathered around them and joined as one family and one heart!

This maternity session is very close to my heart! A few years ago I blogged about my daughter Kaitlin and Andrew’s beautiful North Carolina wedding and I wanted to express my heart as a mom when your daughter gets married! It was such a wonderful joy for me to share my heart!

Heather met Jack through her cousin Jimmy as the two of them grew up together and were best friends.  She secretly had a crush on Jack before she was old enough to even date!! 

I have been photographing this beautiful family for over seven years now!  It started when Alyssa was expecting her daughter, Autumn Faith.  We had so much for the first time doing a maternity session.
