Today I want to give you a few Do’s and Don’ts for styling yourself and your family for portraits. I know it’s something a lot of families stress over but it truly is something you can have fun with. Don’t do matchy matchy. The days of everyone perfectly matching is finally over! Praise the Lord! […]

Each year I have the amazing opportunity to take pictures at the Sunflower field in Tuckahoe, New Jersey. The field is awesome! While it might be a relatively small field, the rest of the grounds make up for it. The owner has a vintage truck as well as an old shed on the property that […]

Baby Taylor’s mom, Ginger, first messaged me asking if I was able to do a specific Tonka Truck picture she found on Pinterest. Ironically enough, my Father in Law cleaned out his storage unit a couple weeks before and had given us my husband’s old Tonka Trucks. One of the trucks were almost identical to […]

When Brittany told me Lyla’s first birthday theme was Winter Onederland, I was super excited! I knew together, we could create something magical. Like all Smash & Splash sessions, we started out with a casual set. Lyla was dress in the cutest lace romper. We of course had to get some pictures with Momma, Dad, […]

The Goldman family had their family vacation in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. They contacted me early in the year to book their session.

A majority of my family picture sessions take place in either Ocean City, New Jersey or Sea Isle City, New Jersey. Whenever a family books I always give them a few options for beaches and tell them why it is a good choice. You see, many families are vacationing at the Jersey Shore and don’t […]

The DiDonato Family session took place in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. They chose to do their session down at Townsend’s Inlet. This is my favorite place in Sea Isle to do sessions. Since it is at the inlet, most of this beach is on the bay side. Therefore, the sunset is right behind it. […]

This little man’s older sister was my very first actual posed newborn back in 2016. Since then, I’ve captured her first Christmas and baptism, his newborn (this session), and his first Christmas and baptism. My families that return to me year after year have a special place in my heart. I always get happy when […]

My Grayson was born 10lb 0oz. I knew almost immediately that his first birthday would be the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Then, at six months, when Grayson started on solids, he loved all foods, even broccoli. It further confirmed that this little man’s first birthday would be Hungry Caterpillar. I was excited to be able to […]

Introducing Finley Matthew Spiegel! My third son is here. He was born March 20th at 4:59pm (the same time as his older brother, Grayson). Finley has been such a good baby so far. He is awake a bit more than I would like at night but he really is a great baby. He has to […]
