Maegan Dougherty Photography » NJ Birth and Family Photographer

As I drove into Liberty State Park this past fall, I felt like it was my first time seeing the New York City Skyline. I was in awe the whole time we were there, and it was magical to watch the light change as the sun lowered in the sky and eventually set. I photographed this couple’s wedding here seven years ago. Their wedding day wasn’t a clear day like this was, and it was fun to go back and photograph them where they were married, this time with the view visible.

I write every year about how much I adore this family. I was so happy to see their genuine smiles again for their annual family photo shoot.

One of the many special stories I photographed in 2015 was the pregnancy and birth of this little guy. His mom is a close friend of mine and that made it even more special. You may recognize the family from the another homecoming less than a year before this one.

This sweet baby spent some time in the NICU, and I was thrilled to be there waiting with his family on the day he came home. His siblings were so excited and so loving.

absolutely beautiful!!!! I will ALWAYS love and treasure these pictures!

I met this family last year for pregnancy and newborn photo shoots, and I adored them from the start. I remember after their newborn session they were walking to the farmers market, and I thought about how much I would like to photograph them there. And this year, that’s what we did, after spending some time in their New Jersey home. I love the sweet moments we were able to capture. This is a real weekend day in the life of this family.  🙂
