Welcome to Saving Grace Photography's A Moment of Grace

My work has been described as capturing both innocence and exuberance, passion and grace and the romance and mystery of children. I see beauty in all things - in both laughter and tears but most importantly, in the ineffable joy of being a child.

To learn more about me, and to view my full portfolio, please visit my portrait website: www.savinggracephotography.com. I work in and around the NJ tristate area and my photography studio is located in beautiful downtown Basking Ridge, NJ.

A Mover and a Shaker {nj baby photographer}

This girl was both! By the end of the session, mom, dad, my assistant and I were completely wiped out! In a good way of course since I love a session that’s so dynamic — and it usually means I get my exercise quota for the day!

Sweet Baby {nj newborn photographer}

I’m not sure what was going on 9 months ago but January was certainly a busy month for newborns! This sweet family came in a few weeks ago and mom specifically asked whether it was ok to bring her first child — the sweetest and softest puppy I’ve ever met. “Of course,” I said. I adore animals and it’s so important that they be included in family pictures. Big brother of course joined in and although he was shy, we still were able to get a wonderful smile from him!

Just a quick reminder to everyone — I will be out of the office beginning 2/13 through 2/20. I have just a few remaining sessions for the last week in February. I am booking weekends into late March/early April so please contact me soon if you would like to schedule a session. I prefer to pre-book newborns before birth if possible.

I will also be offering a studio mini session 3 days a month in March, April and May. Studio minis will be available for 1 child only (or 1 child and pet) and will last for 20 minutes. These are a great way to mark a milestone or get some updated photographs of your child! detailed information will be available to Facebook Fans and newsletter recipients first so please join one if you’d like to be the first to know!

Now on to my beautiful subjects!

Sweetie Pies {nj baby photographer}

Such a sweet twosome! The little guy was a trooper with all of the outfit changes and I got to spend some one on one time with big sister too! All in all a great session!nj_baby_photographer1anj_baby_photographer1b

A Growing Family {nj newborn photographer}

I am often asked, “What’s your favorite part about being a photographer?” and the answer is simple. It’s this. Watching my dear families grow and change every year. I’ve known this family since big brother was in his mommy’s belly (that seems to be a running theme this week!) and now here we are, a new family of 4 and an adorable sweet baby who is soo well cherished.s

And I have to add, dad was such a help during this session, I almost offered him a job!

January 29, 2010 - 10:35 am Michelle - Amazing Janine! Thank you so much -- as always, the pictures are precious!!

January 29, 2010 - 1:17 pm Anna-Karin - you really did capture the freshness of a newborn in this family! These photographs are so story telling and I can tell how excited big brother is. Beautiful as always!!!

Mwah!

I love baby kisses. And I love this little girl who I’ve been photographing since she was in her mommy’s belly. See how much she’s grown? She’s still the same exuberant little fireball though (and you can’t tell in the first picture, but she gave me quite a run for my money at her newborn session)!
