Bergen County, New Jersey Communion Photographer

God Bless Maddie on her First Holy Communion!  I had so much fun capturing this special occasion, and doesn't she just look stunning?  Maddie is an amazing dancer and of course we had to incorporate just a few ballet slipper shots for fun:)   If I can showcase the beautiful, fun-loving, carefree, and just-a-bit goofy personalities of my clients, then I have done my job well!    Maddie was just perfection!  

NJ Couples Photographer, Jessica Justin Photography

“We swore we’d travel
Darlin’ side by side
We’d help each other stay in stride
But each lover’s steps fall so differently...
But I’ll wait for you and if you fall behind, WAIT FOR ME...”
— Bruce Springsteen

One of the best decisions I have ever made was to participate in the Day Seven Workshop this past fall.  The farm, the location, the fellow photographers, that light, and the chance to learn from the best!  Thank you Erin witkowski and abby Mortenson for inspiring me and letting us into your world.   I can't wait to see where my journey takes me...

NJ Teen Photographer, Jessica Justin Photography

Every once in a while, I get lucky and Jane will agree to a photo shoot.  At thirteen, I'll take what I can get:)  Sometimes, I seriously just can't believe it-THIRTEEN!  Watching and witnessing your baby grow and mature each and every year is honestly one of the most amazing parts of motherhood.  Although I want to grab her and squeeze her, slow it all down, I know I have to embrace it and let her shine her own beautiful light.  Forever my muse, I am always in awe of Janey's beauty but even more than that, I am so inspired by her own uniqueness and self confidence.  I LOVE that she is never afraid to BE HERSELF especially at an age when peer pressure reigns.  What a gift to not care what others think and an amazing lesson--one I wish I had at her age.  
Styling this shoot made me realize how much I love documenting this age.  Getting to see the world through a teenager's eyes, and showing the beauty within....perfect to boost self-esteem in a such a fun way!  Just being yourself...

New Jersey Communion Photographer, Verona Park

 

Malia did not only look absolutely gorgeous in her Communion dress,  but oh what a trooper! 

Don't let the stunning blue skies and bight sun deceive you-this pretty April day in Verona Park, NJ was FREEZING.  In fact, as we walked by the lake we actually got sprayed!  

I don't know about you, but can't you just see her 20 years from now looking just as gorgeous in her wedding dress!!!  But Let's not rush time... 

Can you even pick a favorite?

The Big Apple Shoot Out-Brooklyn, NYC-80's Style!

It's no secret that I LOVE the 80's!  Big hair, bright colors, and awesome music...the inner 80's child in me was in heaven!  If you haven't been to The Bushwick Collective in Brooklyn, NY, it is a must see!  This was the perfect location for our urban 80's shoot.  Block after block-completely covered in amazing street art and murals.    Check out the designs on these outfits by Neon Kisses Inc.-Perfection!   Walk down memory lane with me...  

The Big Apple Shoot Out~Part One, Farm Life...

They say..."To be a photographer, we must PHOTOGRAPH.  No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the SIMPLE ACT of MAKING PICTURES.  Experience is the best teacher of all.  All for that, there is is no guarantee that one will become an artist ONLY the Journey Matters."  ~Harry Callahan  
This quote resonates with me.  I am the forever student...always seeking, always learning, always watching everything I can get my hands on!  This can only get you so far...Photography is different.  Action is important.  I need to TAKE the pictures, not just READ about it!  This shoot was a combination of both.  Surrounding myself with talented photographers in a creative stylized photo shoot was both "learning and doing" from some of the best out there.  What a fantastic journey!  This was "Day One" of our hands-on shoot out....more to come--80's style!!!  Thanks so much to Stephanie from Lemmonmade Photography and Mila from Mila Wells Photography for this amazing opportunity!

New Jersey Family Photographer, September Photo Shoot in Morristown

Beautiful cool and crisp September weather, happy kids, adorable fall outfits, and the perfect sunset!  Who could ask for more?  LOVE these guys and so happy they asked me to capture their beautiful family.   Enjoy the Gallery! 

Fair Haven, New Jersey Family Photographer

This photo shoot was very special to me.  This beautiful mom is like a sister to me and we have been best friends since elementary school.  When she decided to move over an hour away, I was definitely sad, but why?  Distance only makes the heart grow fonder, right?  After being there for each other during so many of life's special moments, it was only fitting to document the start of their new lives.   So honored to be able to capture their love for one another...
