Joe and Sara

A Beautiful Maternity Session at Nomahegan Park

There are certain moments in life that feel truly full circle, and this session was one of them for me. I recently had the honor of photographing Joe, Sara, and their daughter Siena for a maternity shoot at Nomahegan Park in Cranford, NJ. Joe and I have known each other for over 30 years, so to be part of this special time in his life was something really meaningful.

Joe and Sara are expecting a baby boy in just three weeks, and you could feel the excitement and love surrounding them throughout the shoot. Siena is going to be an amazing big sister — you could see her joy and curiosity with every frame.

We lucked out with an overcast day, which provided the perfect soft light and some wonderfully dramatic skies that really added depth and mood to the images. Nomahegan Park is always a beautiful location, but on this particular day, it seemed to match the emotion of the moment perfectly — calm, peaceful, and full of anticipation.

Capturing authentic moments for people I care about is why I do what I do. I’m so grateful I could help preserve this chapter for Joe, Sara, and Siena, and I can’t wait to meet their newest addition soon.
