STRENGTH GIRLS CHRISTMAS | PCB HOME STUDIO SESSION
Princeton Family Photographer | New Jersey Family Photographer
Christmas time is here!!!!! And again these images are so TWO Christmases ago 🤦🏻♀️
I have photographed this family multiple years now but i still have to show 2 year old twins and 4 year old big sis in their cute Christmas jammies during our PCB Home Petite Christmas session! They had a lot of fun drumming on the presents, snacking on cookies and and rolling around on the bed with Jingle Bells playing in background.

ARMY HOMECOMING | New Jersey Military Homecoming | NJ Family Photographer
New Jersey Photographer | NJ Family Photographer
Military homecomings cut me to the core. In the best way possible. As Air Force wife myself who has endured the months of separation from my spouse I can’t help but cry happy tears when I know how another spouse is feeling. My sweet friend was about halfway through her pregnancy when her husband deployed. He wasn’t able to come home for the birth of his second son because of the Covid pandemic quarantine requirements. And so this was the first time he met his second son in person.
How strong military spouses are. My friend endured hard things with a glad and joyful heart. Prayers, patience and support got her to this special homecoming day.
To say this session was challenging is an understatement. It did not happen in optimal photographic situations… it was night, in a dimly lit parking lot. Homecomings are fast pace to begin with so with that on top of the no light I certainly did my best for this sweet family reunion after 10 months and another baby later!
Please Welcome home Captain Hunter in this New Jersey Army Homecoming. Enjoy!
WELCOME BABY ADELAIDE | PRINCETON NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | NJ FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Princeton Newborn Photographer | NJ Family Photographer
It’s always a treat when newborns are asleep and content for the entirety of our session. Photographing this sweet girl, Adelaide, and her first time parents was such a gift to me. My husband deployed with Fernando a few years ago so this family is precious to us and I was so honored to be their newborn photographer.
We spent a wonderful morning together capturing the details of their first weeks as a family of three: All the sweet smiles, kisses, and snuggles! I love lifestyle newborn sessions because most of the final images are unposed and natural; a great reminder in years to come of how things were and how tiny your babies used to be.
I arrived just after a feeding and Adelaide was peacefully sleeping the morning away. Their master bedroom and her beautifully themed bunny nursery were the perfect backdrop for this cozy in-home New Jersey newborn photography session.
To Fernando, Haley and Adelaide. Thank you for inviting me into your home during your precious beginnings of a family of three. I’m thrilled to share these photos of you! Enjoy.
STRENGTH FAMILY | PRINCETON NJ PHOTOGRAPHER | PRINCETON BATTLEFIELD | NEW JERSEY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Still rolling deep in the 2019 sessions friends! There are so many to share I’ll be at my computer for years editing my Princeton Family Photography sessions.
A 4 year old and 2 year old twins… does that give you anxiety? Not me! It’s such a fun challenge to get them to warm up and have fun. Usually by the end of the session toddlers are laughing and smiling so easy for me. I have some tot-friendly no candy involved tricks up my sleeve.
The Strength family had their Princeton Battlefield Photography Session not too long after all the leaves fell from the trees. Leaving a crunchy blanket prime from throwing! And throwing of leaves we did. What a fun and lively bunch this was. A delight to work with and capture their wild season of life in.

JP, KRISTA & COPELAND | Family Photographer in colorado springs
(This session is from my time in New Jersey. I no longer serve New Jersey but as a Colorado Springs Family Photographer.)
My, how time seems to fly by! I’ve been in the throws of mothering our little baby boy and the world keeps on turning. The time has come, after nearly a year of “maternity leave”, I am so ready to take on clients in New Jersey!
One of those first clients was the O’Connor family. JP & Krista moved to Princeton from Seattle a few years ago as JP attends the Princeton Theological Seminary. We met at The Bridge Church back when Krista and I were both pregnant with our boys. Copeland is just about 2 months younger than Elijah so they’re basically besties! I’m so glad God has brought our families together during our time in NJ. Our love for the PNW and our boys made us quick friends.
The air was a most welcomed crispy one on this first of November day. Nearly the end of daylight savings time, the sun hung low and peaked softly through the trees in its golden splendor, wooing me back after a long hiatus away. Dappled golden light, a happy family… I’m hooked again.
Thank you, JP, Krista and Copeland for allowing me to capture this sweet season in your life at the Princeton Battlegrounds.

WHITLEY CELEBRATES ONE YEAR | MILK BATH | ONE YEAR PHOTOS
colorado springs family photographer | milk bath | one year photos
I have been waiting for a solid nap when I don’t want to sleep to share this magical one year old photo session.
Way back in the fall when I was passing through Oklahoma a dear friend was also in town and asked me to take one year photos of her daughter. The weather was fantastic in November for a Golden hour milk bath photo session! Lindsey was extremely thoughtful choosing the details of Whitley’s photo session. There is beautiful meaning behind every detail of this shoot. The most meaningful are those sunflowers you see. Lindsey’s brother unexpectedly passed away over the summer and those bright yellow sunflowers embody everything about her brother. And so of course Whitley honored her uncle by dawning beautiful sunflowers in her hair and in the bath!
Thank you so much Ambrose family for choosing me to capture such a sweet time in your baby girls life! Love you very much
xoxo Melissa
