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.

A Moment of Grace showcases my most up to date work, upcoming events and studio news. To learn more about me, and to view my full portfolio, please visit my portrait website or my upcoming maternity/newborn website. I work in and around the NJ tristate area and my new studio is located in downtown Basking Ridge in beautiful Somerset County.

Tears of Joy {nj newborn photographer}

I think it’s amazing that I get to see so many wonderful aspects of my clients lives — from pregnancy to birth, birthdays and holidays and so many other days in between. I met this lovely (also growing!) family recently when they were welcoming a new child into their family. Mom was truly a sweetheart, glowing and golden like she stepped off a California beach. Her sweet little baby came right on time and I was able to capture another special moment between the three of them — tears of joy at the beauty of a new life. I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing it. I know this will be one well loved little girl.

And I’m sorry if I’ve been a bit scarce lately! I’ve alternated between playing catchup after my computer fiasco and rediscovering the joy of my own children and all those other hobbies I’ve been neglecting. I’m coming back though — I have so much to share and so many upcoming studio specials before the fall season hits!

Enjoy!

Family

I don’t do a lot of extended family sessions but when I do, I always enjoy them!  Here is a recent one - filled with the laughter of boys on a gorgeous summer day!

July 2, 2009 - 9:00 am Kimberly - How fun! They have some fabulous images of their whole family to treasure and I'd definitely have to do an album for each family.

July 3, 2009 - 1:11 am Anna-Karin - These are so playful and fun!!

Being 4 {nj child photographer}

I know 4 well — my own little girl is that age and it’s a complicated and beautiful age. It’s the age of flowers and fairies, of the power of the imagination and the allure of all that is mysterious and possibly magical and whimsical and pure. The park I chose - with lots of sweet garden nooks in which to hide — was perfect for this little girl who saw fairies everywhere and loved chasing bubbles. Enjoy mom — hope to see you again!

June 25, 2009 - 8:43 am Joyce - Oh so lovely! I just adore your work and these are no exception!

June 25, 2009 - 1:32 pm Anna-Karin - Beautiful as always!! Love the one where she is chasing the bubble, such a sweet childhood moment!

June 27, 2009 - 11:52 am Heather - I absolutely loved the age of 4 with both of my kids. The growing personality and the incredible imagination are just *so* much fun! Looks like a wonderful session with this little sweetie :). Love them all, but the bubble shot is my favorite!

June 29, 2009 - 10:22 am Michelle Parsley - The bubble chasing image is the perfect representation of this age. LOVE IT!!

Being a Dad {nyc family photographer}

I think this blog post says it all (don’t worry mom — I snuck some of you in as well!). Every time I blog I have to restrain myself from showing too much. Honestly, I can’t help it — I love to share and I always have such wonderful happy families as clients. This family was no different. I had such an enjoyable time with them (although it was this session that prompted me to finally join a gym!). I  hope this post conveys some of their love and some of what it means to be a dad on this soggy day.

Happy Father’s Day everyone!

(and p.s. if my color is off, I am proofing on my backup computer. My video card died. I won’t get into it here but HP is on my hit list :) )

Have a great weekend!

June 21, 2009 - 8:54 am Kimberly - I just love how you captured them being THEM - it's a priceless gift. It looks effortless but many of us know better! These would make a stunning wall gallery or album.

June 22, 2009 - 6:34 pm raye law - WOWOWOWOW...what a brilliant session full of emotion, variety, and movement! This makes me feel like I was there apart of the fun seeing all of them together. How will they choose?

June 22, 2009 - 10:24 pm Jana Kunz - OMG, so adorable! Beautiful images. :)

Turning 1 {nyc baby photographer}

Another fun age — 1 yr olds love to explore their world, climb, walk (if they can!) and get around as fast as they can, in any way they can. This little girl was a typical 1 yr old and thus, wore me out by the end of her session! Luckily I joined a gym!

June 16, 2009 - 9:08 pm Lisa Russo - Janine, your work makes me so happy - what a beautiful little girly and you've clearly captured every nuance of her personality here!

June 17, 2009 - 8:35 am Carrie S - oh beautiful.. her and your work here!

June 18, 2009 - 12:05 pm Kimberly - I love the one of her and her puppy (such adoration in the pup's eyes) and the first one too. I can see re-creating that first image as a high school senior - poor Mom & Dad!
