Stockton, NJ | Family Photo Session

Documenting families in their home is one of my favorites parts of what I do. There is something magic, comforting, calm, and beautiful to take a peak into a family in their home. This session is a favorite of mine because the candids are pure joy and magic. These little girls were so full of life and smiles and happiness that shone through these photos. This session also has a very cinematic, almost analog feel for me at times. It makes me really want to bring film into my family sessions. Maybe soon I’ll grab my film cameras and try some experimenting for future family sessions.

Here are a few favorites from last year’s sessions!

Urban Family Lifestyle Session in Philly

The sweetest family of three photographed in their South Philly neighborhood. It was a gorgeous late spring day and Maiella had a blast exploring with her parents. We smelled some flowers, explored the murals, and I was able to catch some big smiles and giggles. This little mini session was the perfect amount of time to capture all of the love in this family.

Philadelphia In Home Newborn Lifestyle Photo Session

I went down to Philly to photograph this beautiful new family of 3 (4 including their pup Harley!) Sweet little baby Rafe has these big beautiful eyes and was such a good baby. He was so easy to photograph and even gave me some big smiles 😃. His sibling pup joined in for some photos and it was all around a super fun photo shoot! I truly love photographing newborns in home and capturing all of the sweet real moments where everyone feels most comfortable. It is these little moments that you never want to forget!

Early Fall Family Photo Session at Valley Forge Park

I hadn’t photographed the Chi family before but the minute I met them at Valley Forge Park I knew it was going to be a fun session. Their three adorable boys were so full of giggles and had so much energy it was so easy to snap a million candids! We were even able to sneak their family pup in for some photos. They were all so sweet and very photogenic - it felt like a whirlwind of a photo session but I got so many great photos! Check out some of my favorites below.

A Year in Review: 2022

What an amazing year it has been! (I might have written this same thing last year-but it’s true!) We feel so fortunate to do what we do and it has been so much fun meeting new families and seeing our regular families again.

This year we traveled all around New Jersey, from the woods to the shore. We spent a lot of time in our neck of the woods in Bucks County, especially at one of our favorite parks, Tyler State Park. We also popped into Philly a few times as well! I’m hoping this year we’ll be able to explore even more beautiful areas and that I’ll be able to capture even more of those first newborn smiles and toddler tickles. Here’s to a wonderful past year and to an even better year to come!

Barnegat Light House Family Lifestyle Photo Session

Fall on the beach is one of my all time favorite times and places to take photos! I think I’ve said it before, but seriously, I’ll never tire of it! This sweet little family of three was so smiley and fun and happy it was such a pleasure to spend time with them. We photographed Hannah and Chris’ wedding a few years back and now they have this cutie little guy! I just love watching our couples grow into families. So happy to share some of my favorites from this session at Barnegat Light State Park. For more beach family sessions check out this one and this one. For Hannah and Chris’ beautiful wedding click here.

Here are a few from last year’s sessions!

Early Fall New Jersey Beach Family Photo Session

This sweet little mini session was just about perfect. The rain was threatening to ruin the whole thing but we decided to go for it anyway. Just as we were meeting to start the session, the clouds cleared and let through a beautiful golden hour sunset. It doesn’t get any better than that! We photographed Jenna and Ben’s wedding and I was so happy when they reached out after their family grew. Their sweet smiley little girl was just too much fun to photograph! I just love this session. For another beach photo session , check out this one in Avalon.

Fall Family Photo Session in Lambertville

The Buck family were our neighbors for years and of course I was thrilled when they reached out for a family session after they had their second baby. I documented their first little one in a in-home lifestyle session a few years prior, you can check it out here. So for this one we decided on a golden hour fall session at the nearby Baldpate Mountain. It’s one of my favorite spots in this area and in the fall during the glowy evening is it perfection! Here are my favorites from this sweet, quick little session.

A Year in Review: 2021

What a fun, wild year it was this past year! Despite all the ups and downs that Covid threw at us; we were able to connect with so many amazing families! There was so much joy and beauty I was able to experience with many amazing people in 2021. Some of these families I’ve been photographing since they were married, and I have been able to watch them grow, meet their little ones and watch their babies grow, which is one of my absolute favorite parts of what I do. Some families I met for the first time this past year and was able to create new friendships that will hopefully last a long time. Sometimes I really just feel so lucky to be able to do what I do!

I haven’t done a year in review for our families before but after looking through and putting together our review for our 2021 weddings (check it out here!) I just got really excited to go back through all the amazing, fun, silly, and memorable families I worked with last year. Here are some snippets of each session and keep an eye out for more journal entires of full sessions coming out this year!

Fall Mini-Sessions

It’s that time of year again! Pumpkins and colorful leaves, sweaters and hot cider….and mini-sessions! This is my absolute favorite time of year for all of those reasons but also because I get to see all my regular families and get to meet new ones as well.

This year we’re going back to Tyler State Park in Newtown (one of our favorite spots to shoot) and are looking forward to capturing some beautiful fall colors, maybe a sprawling field and possibly even a creek. It’s going to be so much fun! Here are the details:

When: Saturday November 6, 2021

Where: Tyler State Park

Price: $200

What you get: A 20 minute photo shoot with Matt or Lauren (maybe both of us!) and 20 high resolution photos available for download with a release for personal use. We also have an online shop with holiday cards, albums and tons of print options you and you family can order from.

How to sign up: Follow this link to reserve your time slot and I will send over a proposal, it’s super easy! Click HERE.

The photos will be edited and your gallery will be delivered to you by Thanksgiving, so you’ll have plenty of time to order your holiday cards!

Glowing Sunset Valley Forge Family Photography Session

We caught the sunset at the perfect time at Valley Forge Park and it cast a gorgeous glow over this entire family session. We’ve been photographing the Morris family for a few years now and it had been so fun to watch their family grown. These sisters are adorable and had the biggest smiles for me!

Funny story about this shoot…The morning of the session I get an email saying that Tyler had an accident while playing soccer the night before and spent the night at the hospital getting stitches in his forehead! He had a HUGE gash right in between his eyes. We decided to go for it, continue with the shoot and luckily it was in a spot that was super easy to photoshop. We left a couple shots of him with the gash so they don’t forget ;) but everything turned out great. While we don’t love relying on photoshop for editing, it does come in handy when accidents happen!

Cozy, Newborn Family Lifestyle Photography Session

I can’t believe I haven’t posted this sweet little newborn lifestyle session yet! Whew, it’s been awhile since my last journal post but here we are! I have a ton of awesome sessions to catch up on and here is a fav of mine!

We have been photographing the Pattwell family since their engagement and were beyond thrilled when they told us about their newest little family member. I love doing in home newborn photo sessions. They are cozy, and intimate and truly capture this moment in your lives. There is something so genuine about these sessions!

These are some of my favorites from their photography session and if you love dogs don’t miss their cutie pup who couldn’t resist being right there with us the whole time.

Check out some more newborn sessions here, here and here. You can also scroll through our journal for a ton more!

Fall Mini-Sessions!

We’ve finally nailed down the details of our fall mini photo sessions this year and we’re SO excited to head into my favorite season capturing all of your families! Here is the quick info:

When: October 18, 2020

Where: Valley Forge Historical Park (specific location will be emailed to you closer to the day)

Price: $175 for a 15 minute photo session and 15 fully edited images available for download with a release for printing and sharing.

If you have been following us for a while now you might remember that last year we did holiday card sessions with a snow machine and a pine tree backdrop. It was so much fun and the photos were really festive and perfect for holiday cards. This year we are switching it up and going back to a fall seasoned themed shoot that will work great for your holiday cards but will also look beautiful framed around your house. Ultimately we would love to do both types of mini sessions each fall/winter, but this year things are a little strange because of covid so we’re just sticking with the one this year.

I’m hoping for a beautiful bright day with a glowy sun and a tall field and a beautiful view! Some of my favorite photos from last fall were taken at Valley Forge-it’s going to be beautiful and so fun!

Feel free to reach out with any questions: info@themoreweseefamilies.com and click the link below to reserve your spot now (we’re already 50% booked so don’t wait too long!)

Below are some photos from our fall mini photo sessions a couple years ago at Tyler State Park-I just love these so much!

Philadelphia Newborn in Home Family Photography Session

This was my first time capturing this brand new family of three (well four, because their golden doodle, Lemon, didn’t want to leave their side!). There is something so fun about meeting new families and celebrating this incredibly sweet and exciting time in their lives.

They had just gotten home from the hospital with baby Alec just a few days before the shoot and they were exhausted but happy. The first few weeks are such a blur and are so easily forgotten because all of your focus is on this new little human in your life that your memories just don’t seem to stick like we want them to. This is way I just love capturing this moment so early in the beginning of this huge life change.

I may not be capturing alllll the dirty diapers, middle of the night feedings, and messy hair, sweatpants and spit up stained shirts, but I am freezing the sweetest part of this period in our lives…their tinyness (is that even a word??) and the love you have for this new little being. This hour that you spend with me is an hour to slow down, not think of anything other than how perfect your little one is, and how much you love your family. That is what you will remember when you look back at your photos. That is also why I love doing what I do so much!

If you want to see more newborn sessions check out The Bernstein Family, The Reeder Family, and The Macia Family.

A Fall Family Photo Session in Princeton, New Jersey

The first time I photographed the McDevitt family there were three…now they are five! It was so fun to reconnect and see this beautiful family grow. With a baby and a couple toddlers it was action packed and so much fun-kids just bring the best kind of wild to a shoot. Each has their own amazing personality and were just a pleasure to capture! The gorgeous fall leaves and warm glowy sun made the whole thing even better.

This was our mini-lifestyle shoot, which is a 30 minute session. This seems to be our most popular package right now because I think it’s hard to know how long your kiddos will last during the session. This works well if you are looking for 30 or so photos to have a quick capture in this moment of your lives.

Sometimes it’s nice to slow down a little and spend a little more time playing and snuggling and exploring which is why I LOVE our 60 minute lifestyle photo sessions. We get a few more locations/looks and things don’t feel so chaotic and rushed and you will get a lot more photos (these are the shoots where I love to recommend putting together a small album-which is what WE do when we have family photos taken of ourselves).

We also offer day-in-the-life sessions which are pretty much non-existent right now because of covid, but when all this virus stuff goes away/becomes manageable I’m going to be offering a little discount on those. We don’t do enough of them and they are truly a magical way to document this perfect time in your lives. We capture a portrait session (all the usual great photos from our smaller sessions) but we also capture some of the day-to-day moments as well. Maybe making dinner and eating together, bath time and story time, or an afternoon playing in the sprinkler, eating popsicles and enjoying a picnic. Whatever is it, we take time and spend more than just a quick moment, we document your true days (because I think these everyday moments are the ones that slip our minds first).

Stay tuned for a little more info on our holiday card minis…..coming soon!! I’m thinking the date will be October 17th…hopefully that works for everyone!!

Early Fall Sayen House and Gardens Family Photo Shoot

It was early-ish October and I had never been to The Sayen House and Gardens before and oh my goodness!! It is SUCH a gorgeous place, what a perfect little haven outside Trenton, NJ in Hamilton Township. The trees were just starting to turn and the warm late afternoon sun was coming up to its peak of warm glowy-ness! It’s by far my favorite time of year and there were a billion perfect spots to capture the Reeder family. We’ve been photographing the Reeders since they got married and they now have a fourth little member of their family (I will post their newborn session soon!). Here is the session we captured of them when their little girl was a newborn. And if you want to check out their gorgeous beach wedding you can see it HERE. They are the just the sweetest and it is so much fun to watch them and their family grow. This is seriously one of the BEST perks of this job-getting to know couples and families and watching them grow and being able to capture the best moments of their lives—honestly, what could be any better?!

I have a ton of awesome sessions to journal so stayed tuned, especially if you love fall as much as I do! I also can’t wait to jump into all my fall sessions coming up this year! Whoo! Be sure to keep an eye on our Insta and FB feeds in the next few months for some sneak peaks!
