Smithville Inn Maternity Session: Katie and Dave

Families

Feb 25

I photographed Katie and Dave’s beautiful beach wedding in September of 2018. I was beyond thrilled to hear they were expecting and even more excited when they asked if I would document their maternity session. They decided on historic Smithville in Galloway, New Jersey in December to capture the joy of Christmas and I was beyond excited because… Christmas lights! You know every photographer loves them and I’m no exception. Katie and Dave brought along their first (fur) baby- Zoey- who is now a proud big sister- she’s so adorable. She was also a part of their engagement photos and wedding day! We strolled around stopping at the infamous Christmas Shoppe, carousel, and even saw Mrs. Claus who INSISTED we come into her little home and take photos (see the last photo). It was a tiny room and not the most ideal place to shoot, BUT I can’t justify making Mrs. Claus upset in December and still expect Santa to come to our house. :) Katie and Dave recently welcomed the two new loves of their lives into the world on Valentine’s Day- how adorable! I’m imagining their first birthday photos with SOOO many hearts- this is perfect because Katie is so creative and I can see her thinking of some really special ideas for them! Congrats to the new family of five (including Zoey)!
