HELLO 2017!
Same Blog, New Content!

Happy New Year Friends! Hope you rung in the new year surrounded by love – we certainly did! This time last year, having a baby was the furthest thing in the realm of possibilities and yet here we are and I couldn’t be happier.  Life never ceases to surprise me! 2016 wasn’t our best year when it came to blogging because making this tiny human sort of took up all the leftover energy I had left at the end of the day.  But I have feeling 2017 is going to be different! This little guy inspires me in so many ways, especially to write and create.  I’m really excited about using this space to share more personal content  in the new year.  After all, that’s how I fell in love with photography in the first place, purchasing my first camera to photos for my old lifestyle blog “The Maddy Chronicles“.  Every day with this kid reminds me that time goes by so fast and I just want to document it all.  If you’re here strictly for my photography work and business related posts, that’s cool too! Just click on the “GOING PRO” and “ADVICE” buttons found on the sidebar for the latest client session/events and photography tips and how to’s. But I really do hope you stick around and browse through some of the other content shared here weekly – perhaps you’ll find some it relatable!  Looking forward to a new year filled with fun, adventure, learning, photography and especially my baby Jonas (lots and lots of him)!

JULI + WINANS | ENGAGED
School & Travel Inspired Engagement Session • Montclair, NJ

jwe0185

Winans has been one of Kleber’s best friends for as long as I’ve known my husband.  Actually, we all went to high school together! So this engagement session is dear to my heart!  I’ve met a few of Winan’s girlfriends over the last 15+ years that I’ve known him, but when he initially introduced us to Juli, both Kleber and I had the feeling that she would be “the ONE”. And we were 100% right! I can’t imagine a more perfect match for Winans, someone that “gets him”, shares his same interests and is as passionately Colombian as he is! Not to mention, she is beautiful and has such a down-to-earth personality!  We love Juli and absolutely love them together! They make an excellent team, but most importantly, they make each other so happy.   I enjoyed photographing these two love birds for their engagement session. Since Juli is a school teacher and Winans initially asked her out with an “old school” love note when they first started dating, we wanted to incorporate the school theme into their engagement session photos. Their destination wedding was in Colombia over the summer, hence the travel theme you’ll see speckled throughout this session as well. And even though we couldn’t make it to the actual wedding (I was 8 months pregnant at the time!), it was absolutely beautiful and an epic start to their lives together!
