October Family Photos- Branchburg, NJ

There is something uniquely special about working with a family over the years, capturing their milestones and memories as they unfold. Michele and Tom’s recent family session at their home in Branchburg, NJ, was one of those moments that felt full-circle. Having first photographed their daughter’s bridal shower back in 2020, then moving on to their son’s engagement, wedding, and newborn photos, this session marked another chapter in their story—one centered on them and their newest family member, Rowan, their spirited puppy.

The setting for this session was particularly meaningful. Michele and Tom’s home, an old house with decades of history, has been their family’s heart for years. It’s the space where they raised their children, watched them grow, and now share their days with their furry companion. There’s an undeniable comfort that comes with photographing people in their own home, surrounded by familiar walls and memories. This ease was apparent throughout the session, especially with the bond already established from our past shoots. Michele and Tom’s relaxed nature made each shot feel genuine and warm, and Rowan’s playful energy added a touch of lightheartedness.

Rowan, the little star of the session, was eager and excited, bringing out a fresh spark in Michele and Tom. We captured moments of them walking her around the property and playful shots of just Rowan, along with tender images of Michele and Tom together. It was touching to see grandparents, who often devote so much to their grandchildren, take a moment just for themselves. The laughter, the gentle interactions, and the quiet pauses were all reminders that their story is still unfolding.

My hope for these photos is that in 20 or 30 years, Michele and Tom will look back and not only remember how young Rowan was but also reflect on how their home evolved and the beautiful memories they built within those walls. This session wasn’t just about capturing how they looked but preserving the essence of their life together in this beloved space.

Michele, Tom, and Rowan—it was an honor to be part of yet another chapter in your journey. Here’s to more moments filled with laughter, love, and puppy paws.
