FOREVER

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.

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.

Heirloom Artwork

Your family is a work of art. You deserve more than just a drive in a dusty drawer.

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.

Additionally, every piece of custom artwork is thoughtfully designed to fit your unique needs, and throughout the process, I guide you every step of the way. Above all, I am here to make your session as easy and stress-free as possible, thoughtfully tailoring your experience to you.

Kind Words from Clients

“Sofia is simply amazing! She loves what she does and you can see it through her pictures. EVERY single picture was perfect, there was not one picture I disliked. If you are hesitant to book with her, take my advice and do it, you will not be disappointed! She makes you feel so comfortable, which is so important! Pictures are memories and she does such an amazing job at capturing them! I did my maternity photos in studio, I have another outdoor maternity session scheduled, and I am also doing newborn photos with her. Thanks Sofia, you are truly an amazing photographer!”
