Allaire State Park Wedding | Spring Lake Manor | Jersey Shore Photography

It was a beautiful day to say, "I do" for these two lovebirds.  They exchanged vows at Allaire State Park and then partied the night away at Spring Lake Manor.  Everyone was so lighthearted and entertaining which made for great photos and even better memories.  Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Zanni and best of luck in all you do!

Harper's First Birthday | Cake Smash | First Birthday Photos | Splash Bath

Harper sure knows how to make a mess, but she also knows when it's time to clean up.  This beauty was pure delight for her cake smash and splash bath sessions.  She loved her cake and was all smiles for the camera.  And even though the cake was delicious, she was super excited to clean up in her splash bath.  Harper is exactly the reason why I decided to offer the splash bath add on!  The joy and happiness on her face throughout her session was contagious.  Happy birthday Harper, dream big!

It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs and the ones who accept you for who you are. They are the ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what. Watching these two families become one is a moment that just amazed me. The love that was shared between them was so easily felt in every way. Congratulations Jill, Joe and family <3, best of luck always!

Caleb turned ONE and he got to celebrate by devouring his delicious smash cake.  He was loving it, just like his big brother James did when he was in the studio for his first birthday session.  James remembered how fun it was so he helped his little brother make sure there wasn't even a crumb left!  This little guy is too cute and photogenic; I loved seeing the joy in his eyes.  Thank you Hans family for allowing me to capture all your beautiful family memories!

You always get cake on your birthday, but it's only cute to smash it on your first!  Adorable little Mackenzie wasn't quite sure what to make of her smash cake.  I often wonder what goes through a little ones head when they are presented with a giant sized cake.  "Is this all for me?" " Can I eat it all?" "Are they going to give me a fork?"  "I've only ever had a bite of cake, so why the whole thing now?" It's so fun to see how they react; you're almost certain to get a completely different reaction each time.  This is why I love these sessions so much!  Happy birthday Mackenzie!
