North Jersey Pride Fest

What a treat!! I had the honor of photographing the North Jersey Pride Fest on June 11th - an all day celebration in Maplewood, NJ with live music, performances, tons of kids activities (including an EPIC foam party!!) food, vendors, and tons of PRIDE. It was an absolute blast. Weather was perfect and there was so much love and joy— and FREE MOM HUGS!!! It was a beautiful day of acceptance, pride, inclusivity and celebrating humans in every way! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I’ll keep adding more photos and stay in the loop on Instagram too!

Brand photo exchange! Live Love Lens Photography meets other NJ brand photographers

Carley Storm Branding Workshop:

Had the coolest experience with five other professional female photographers earlier this spring- we talked all about branding photography…we shared, we laughed, and took each other’s photos at the @headshotbrandbar - @carley.storm.brandingco’s amazing photography studio and event space. 

So grateful to meet these amazing women and for Carley Storm who got us together! (OH — and they took my photos and I am THRILLED with the images — working on being brave enough to share them - stay tuned!!)

Enjoy these images of fellow NJ photographers Stephanie Blum, Carley Storm, Lisa Kollberg, Clara Wang, and Lauren Listor

Isaiah House Family Photo Day

Wow, does it take a village. There’s too much to say about the special family photo day on April 29th but I’ll start with the Isaiah House piece…

A few days before the photos…picking outfits and getting to know the Isaiah House families and staff!

I had the honor of pampering and loving on three very amazing families residing at Isaiah House.

This was made possible by ten Live Love Lens Photography family clients (see below) —and many, MANY helpers! Grateful for the best people: Thank you is not enough: Lisa Rayman Goldfarb Photography , Elana Super Color Fashionistic, Lauren Chapman, Julie Retail Therapy, Kosia Lumie Salon, Murray & Finn,  Milk Money Maplewood, City Workshop Mens Supply Co.- beyond thankful!!

Behind-the-scenes: getting pampered and ready for photos!!
