Maegan Dougherty Photography » NJ Birth and Family Photographer

I met this sweet family last year when I went to their house for a combo family and extended family session.  I was so happy to see them again this past weekend.  We met at Van Vleck in Montclair for a mini session and had lots of fun!  They are such cuties!

Super cute! Where did you find those pine cones?? 🙂

Kristen Czech - November 11, 2011 - 11:40 am

Amazing pictures! You all look great and the kids are adorable as usual!

Yesterday I met these three month old twins.  They are both so completely adorable and sweet, with their big blue eyes and their personalities.  I loved talking to them and holding them.  Mom and I were so excited to get them both to sleep at the same time for some sleeping baby shots.  Then they woke up and made more cute faces, and Dad joined for family pictures.

Be sure to leave a comment for this beautiful family below, and to check out my Facebook page if you are new to my blog.  Once we get to 25 blog comments and/or new Facebook fans, I will add some special treats to their order!

Thanks, mom and dad, for choosing me to photograph your beautiful babies!

Leslie Linkie - October 12, 2011 - 6:49 am

They are so adorable!You are truly blessed!!Enjoy!

…while Paul was mowing the lawn, my camera and I followed Xander around while he took care of all the things he needed to do.  He seemed to know exactly what was on the little to do list in his head, and did each task with such intent and determination…and extreme cuteness.  He’s a very busy little guy.

We’re in Montana on vacation now and it’s been wonderful.  Although there are so many people we would love to see while we’re here, we arrived with zero plans.  We are in such major need of stress-free relaxation, so we’ve been enjoying just doing whatever we want whenever we want.  Pictures to come!

Danielle - September 24, 2011 - 6:18 am

Look at how big he has gotten! Adorable!

Bielka - September 24, 2011 - 10:49 am

This is just to cute 🙂

Emily - September 24, 2011 - 11:23 am

Xander is just too cute!! Enjoy your much-deserved vacation!!!

Tara - September 24, 2011 - 2:53 pm

Love it!!! Hope you’re enjoying Montana…tell your mom and dad we say hi 🙂

G'ma Doris - September 24, 2011 - 4:06 pm

He reminds me of his grandpa when he was that age. He’d follow his dad around the Nursery and do all sorts of chores. Adorable!

tracey - September 24, 2011 - 7:30 pm

OKAY REALLY MAEGAN!! These are the cutest shots EVER! oh my god! I can’t believe how big he got. I love it! It felt like I was in your back yard looking at these. Amazing!

Sara Muller - September 23, 2012 - 1:38 am

Last weekend I spent some time at Van Vleck House and Gardens with these two cute boys and their parents. Years ago I photographed the big brother’s first Birthday, so it was fun to see them again!

I added another date for fall mini sessions and have a couple spaces available. Contact me by clicking on the link above if you’re interested! They’re fun!!
