Smithville Inn Maternity Session: Katie and Dave
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)!
The Christmas Shoppe in Historic Smithville in Galloway is the perfect backdrop any time of year because who doesn’t love Christmas!?
Meet Zoey! Proud big sister <3
Twinning!
I adore the carousel at Historic Smithville.
Dave makes Katie smile and it’s so adorable!
Katie, you are such a beautiful momma!

Barclay Farmstead Photographer: The Kyler Family
One Sunday morning, I met up with this adorable family of four, to capture their first family photograph. (Holy alliteration.) We headed to Barclay Farmstead, and what an awesome little spot it was! Rustic, rustic, and more rustic. They are such an adorable family with such fun and well-behaved kids, and just all-round awesome parents.
Palmyra Family Photographer: One Cute Fam!
Every once in a while, I get to photograph adorable families and it's simply a good time! I love showing little ones the back of my camera, giving high fives, and bribing with food :) Last Sunday, I met up with Victoria, Chris, and their little man, Aiden, at Palmyra Cove for a great session. It was an overcast evening, and just as we were finishing on the beach, the sun peaked out for some gorgeous golden light.
Sometimes when baby runs out of the frame... you make the best of it!

Cooper River Family Shoot
This is hands down one of my favorite families- quite possibly because they are part of my family. If you've been reading my blog posts for some time, you'll notice this family is familiar with my camera. The scary thing is how quickly the kids grow up- that's why family shots are so important! We went to Cooper River on a Sunday afternoon for a quick family shoot with the promise of going to the Pop Shop in Collingswood for dinner and ice cream. I'm not sure who was more excited about the ice cream- me or the kids!
Penns Landing: Fall Family Session
We were so happy to greet Meghan, Dave, and baby Sophie on Black Friday for a long weekend. The Z family is one of our closest friends, but they live too far away... in Massachusetts. Our relationship has been a long-distance one from the beginning, when I first met Dave and Meghan in Aruba (my husband's family vacationed with their family throughout their childhood). Dave and Meghan might look familiar from their maternity session shot in Aruba, or baby Sophie's newborn pics seen here or even Sophie's baptism. We went to Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, and Smithville Mansion the next morning. This is just a portion of the blast we had that weekend. Miss you already Z family!!!!
Smithville Mansion: A Very Ahern Christmas
I may be somewhat partial to this session... it is my fabulous family. Meet my sister-in-law, Lisa, and her husband, Dave, and their two adorable children <3 I feel like I have been documenting their lives for the past two years since they moved back to New Jersey. We also had Pete (Dave's brother) and his son come to hang out at Smithville Mansion. I had a great time chasing around three small children in Santa hats and trying to make them smile... let's just say there was lots of bribing involved. Enjoy! <3
