experience: family

Life is made up of small moments that often mean the most.

Those moments should be captured for you to look back on and cherish.

There's just something so special about those little everyday moments, isn't there? The way your kid's laugh fills the room, the way they cuddle up close, or the pure joy on their face as they smash their first birthday cake. Those are the moments I want to capture for you. As your NJ Family Photographer, I want to freeze those messy, beautiful, totally you moments in time – the ones that make your family unique and your celebrations unforgettable.

Fill out the contact form or send me an email to hello@monicamphoto.com. We'll basically just chat about what you're thinking for the session or family celebration, where you'd like it, and if you have any fun ideas.

let's chat!

To book your session I just need a signed contract, a quick questionnaire, and a deposit to hold your spot. I'll send over a style guide with some ideas for what to wear and location suggestions. I want you to feel comfortable and confident, so I'm happy to help with any questions you might have about outfits, locations, or anything else!

make it happen

We'll meet at our chosen location, whether it's a favorite park, a beautiful garden, or another spot that's special to you. Please try to arrive 10 minutes early.

After the session, I'll carefully select and hand edit the best images from your session. Within 2-3 weeks, you'll receive a link to your private online gallery. You'll be able to view, download, and share your high-resolution digital images.

frequently asked

when is the best time to schedule my
family session?

Anytime is a great time to capture your family's memories! Spring and fall offer beautiful outdoor settings, while winter sessions can be cozy and festive. We can also schedule an in-home session for a more relaxed and intimate feel. Ultimately, the best time depends on your family's availability and preferences.

what if my kids are shy or don't like
to sit still?

No problem! I have plenty of experience working with children of all ages and personalities. I'll keep things fun and engaging, and I'll capture those candid moments that truly reflect your family's dynamic.

Can we bring our pets to the
family session?

Absolutely! Pets are part of the family too. Just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly.

How long do you typically cover a family event?

My family event photography packages start with 3 hours of coverage, but I can customize a package to fit your event's duration.

How far in advance should we book you for our family event?

It's best to book as early as possible, especially for popular dates and seasons. I recommend contacting me at least 2-3 months before your event to ensure availability.

Time moves fast. Your growing belly, your baby’s tiny fingers, the laughter of your family, the love you share as a couple, and those special celebrations deserve to be captured. I cannot wait to create something special for you!
