I specialize in lifestyle maternity and in home newborn photography throughout Monmouth County and Ocean County, NJ, serving families along the Jersey Shore, including Spring Lake, Manasquan, Bay Head, Lavallette, Sea Girt, and surrounding areas. My sessions are designed to feel calm, natural, and deeply personal, allowing you to document both the anticipation of pregnancy and the early days with your baby in a way that feels true to your story.
As a lifestyle maternity and newborn photographer, my approach is connection focused and baby led. Alongside beautiful, classic portraits, I focus on the quiet, meaningful moments that unfold naturally. The way you hold your growing belly, the anticipation before your baby arrives, the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, and the sleepy snuggles in your arms.
Whether in your home or at a thoughtfully chosen outdoor location, sessions are relaxed and unhurried. I use natural light and gentle guidance to create timeless, true to life images that reflect your connection, without stiff posing or elaborate setups.
This season is fleeting, from pregnancy to those early newborn days. My goal is to preserve it all through images that feel heartfelt, honest, and lasting.
"We had such a wonderful experience working with Arianna! From start to finish, she made the entire photo session feel relaxed and natural. The photos came out absolutely amazing - beautiful, candid, and full of life. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Arianna to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and kind photographer.
That is completely normal and expected!
My newborn sessions are baby-led, which means we allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, diaper changes, and breaks as needed.
There is no rush. Your baby’s comfort and safety are always my top priority, and we will move at a pace that feels right for your family.
What if my baby is fussy or needs to eat?
For maternity photos, sessions are typically scheduled between 28 and 32 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible and you are still feeling comfortable.
I recommend booking during your second trimester to ensure availability and allow time to plan your session.
I also offer shorter session options for pregnancy announcements, gender reveals and more. Those can take place whenever you like!!
When is best time to schedule maternity photos?
The ideal time for newborn photography is within the first 7 to 14 days after birth, when babies are still very sleepy and naturally curl into those sweet poses.
That said, beautiful newborn photos can be captured at any stage during the first few weeks.
I recommend booking your newborn session during your second trimester to ensure availability around your due date. We can always shift the exact date based on when you deliver!
