This location is beautiful and perfect for a quick session. The best time for a session at this location is for the late Spring/Summer season, when the wildflowers are in bloom!

Asbury Park
Beach sessions are so much fun! While they are a bit out of the Mercer County area, they are a favorite spot to many clients. I only schedule beach sessions for sessions past 5:00 PM to ensure we are working with less crowds and ideal lighting. The closer we can schedule to sunset, the better. Please keep in mind, beach sessions are subject to an additional travel fee for the location. My favorite beach for photos is Asbury Park, but I do travel to different ones!
Rider University
This university campus may be perfect for your session! Located in Lawrence, NJ, this spot has a few great areas to offer such as lots of greenery, gazebos, a water backdrop, pathways, benches and more. It is perfect if you are looking for a low-key spot. It is best to book this location for a weekend, as the campus will not be as busy!
