NEW JERSEY MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY AND INTO THE MOTHERHOOD JOURNEY BEYOND
As an NJ maternity photographer, I specialize in capturing the very beginnings of motherhood and the journey beyond. Because this journey is different for every woman and family, it is not always “beautiful” or easy—yet, it is meant to be celebrated all the same. From bumps to babies, and eventually to your ever-growing family, my goal is to give you a moment of beauty you will treasure forever. Above all, this is a moment for you—to be pampered, celebrated, and glorified—because motherhood deserves nothing less.
Through a fully custom, high-end experience, I offer my clients a way to capture this dynamic, ever-changing love with beautiful artwork to cherish forever. When you hire me, you are choosing more than just someone with a camera; instead, you are choosing someone to take part in your family’s story, to preserve the moments you will look at every day with love. Together, I promise we will create something priceless and beautiful—something that brings immeasurable joy for a lifetime. After all, these photos aren’t just for today; they are memories you will cherish always. Let’s craft them together.
“Pregnancy is such a sacred time for a woman, especially for a first time mom like myself. I knew I wanted to remember this special time forever. When I came across Sofia’s portfolio, I was in awe of her talent of capturing such beauty, grace and elegance. Her work stood out to me right away.”

Hi, I’m Sofia
Your New Jersey motherhood & family photographer
As an NJ maternity photographer, I specialize in creating fine art portraits from pregnancy through your motherhood journey. Based in Union County, I serve families from all over the Tri-state area. Beyond the camera, I am a mom to two little boys, a former women’s clothing designer, and a lover of high heels, coffee, and a good period drama with beautiful costuming. Because my own journey to motherhood with each of my children was very different, I often remind my moms that no matter where you are, you are not alone in the journey you’re on.
I grew up flipping through my family’s old sticky page photo albums. To this day, there is nothing quite like holding an album in your hands and reminiscing about all of the small moments you’ve since pushed to the back of your mind. Of telling stories sparked by the one photo of your sibling, parent, or those no longer with us. We’ve forgotten the beauty in savoring those moments, physically, in our hands and on our walls. My goal is to give that back to you, so one day your children can observe, listen, and tell those stories.
Lastly, photographing your family means more to me than just clicking a button. I develop meaningful, long-term relationships with all of my clients, and am happy to call many of them friends. It is a relationship built on trust, support, and comfort. The opportunity to let me into your lives to capture your most meaningful moments, is an absolute pleasure. I believe in quality over quantity, and for this reason I take limited sessions per month so I can give you the most high-end, luxurious experience. Let’s tell your story, together.
As an NJ maternity photographer, I’ll capture the beauty, love, and anticipation of motherhood. You deserve to be celebrated with a high-end maternity portrait experience.
Your baby’s first moments are fleeting. Their tiny details ever-changing. Capture their early days with custom newborn portraits. Your purest love story, captured by an NJ newborn photographer.
Immerse yourself in the beauty that is childhood. Tell your children’s stories through the lens, with artful portraits that capture their innocence, playfulness, and evolving grace as they grow.
Your story continues as your family grows. As an NJ family photographer, let’s document the bonds and love your family shares, together. Dare to exist in photos with your children.
“Sofia was amazing from day one! She was so communicative, very organized, and had so many wardrobe options available to choose from. She makes you feel so confident and walks you through every single pose and portrait to make you feel and look as beautiful as ever! I cannot recommend her enough.”

Heirloom Artwork
Your family is a work of art. You deserve more than just a drive in a dusty drawer.
When your children ask to see photos, do you find yourself just scrolling through your phone? Undoubtedly, over time, those precious moments often disappear into a cloud or hide on a hard drive. Not anymore. After your maternity, newborn, or family session, we’ll sit down together and explore beautiful high-end, custom artwork options tailored specifically for you. And yes, you’ll still get your digital images to keep and share. From start to finish, we’ll work together to create something meaningful—carefully crafted to tell your family’s story in a way you can see, hold, and cherish for years to come.

“First time doing a maternity photoshoot and I have to say I felt so comfortable and relaxed. Sofia not only did an amazing job with the photos but the energy and atmosphere she provides is amazing. She walked me through everything that we were going to do and helped me every step of the way with posing and making sure I was comfortable. Such a professional person. I loved every second of the experience and highly recommend it to anyone.”
