It was wonderful seeing Catalina and her family again for her South Jersey Newborn Photos, especially since their new family member, baby Simon, had finally arrived.
You might remember this family from their gender reveal in their gorgeous home. That day we discovered a baby boy was on the way. I remember the excitement and love that filled the air when they cut the cake and we all saw the blue sweetness inside.
Fast forward to a few months later, I had the honor of capturing another milestone for Catalina’s family – the newborn photoshoot. The addition of a tiny, sleepy bundle of joy had transformed their family, adding a layer of tenderness and love to their life. These sessions are always special, and Catalina’s family shoot was all that and more.
Their newborn, cradled in love and warmth, was such a cutie as you can see from the photos. The blue and white nautical theme with starfish and shells gave a nob to our natural surroundings. And then a range of swaddle-wrapped images in neutral colors was also just beautiful. He even had his personalized blanket with his initials on it.

What truly set this photoshoot apart was Samuel, their older son. Samuel is starting to learn English. So despite his young age and our language barrier, his cooperation and enthusiasm were remarkable. With gentle prompts from his parents, he posed with care. His actions speaking the universal language of love and adoration for his new sibling.
The family’s dynamic was a photographer’s dream. They were a picture-perfect group, with natural interactions and genuine expressions. The way Samuel looked at his new sibling, the tender exchanges between Catalina and husband. The overall sense of unity and happiness made every click of the camera capture something truly magical.
As a photographer specializing in newborn and family photography, these are the moments I live for. It’s not just about creating stunning images; it’s about documenting life stories, about freezing fleeting moments of love, joy, and togetherness. Catalina’s family reminded me of this beautiful aspect of my job. The ability to be an observer and a storyteller, weaving together the chapters of someone’s life through my lens.
Their journey from a gender reveal party to welcoming a new life into their family has been an incredible experience to document. I am hoping to see them soon for an updated family shoot or a birthday maybe. It’s families like Catalina’s that reinforce the beauty and importance of family photography – it’s not just about the pictures, but about the memories and emotions they capture that will be cherished for years to come.
