When life gives you lemons…
This GORGEOUS Mama totally made this NJ outdoor maternity session a dream!
Let me tell you, this was an absolute treat and one to remember!

When I think back to the tiny 160 square foot studio that I set up in my basement over five years ago, I’m filled with awe and wonder that my business has grown as much as it has. It’s with a thankful heart that I introduce a rebrand of my business from Lullabies for Josephine to Tamara Váz Photography.

Imagine being pregnant and having an almost perfect stranger come into your home and ask you to get into your underwear as they pointed a camera at you for maternity photos. Yikes! And imagine as a new mom, someone you had done nothing more than exchange a few emails with wanted you to hand over your new baby. I’m a mom of twins, and there are not many people I would have entrusted my babies to in those first precious weeks.

The first time I heard about this project created by the photographer Cara Soulia from Needham, Massachusetts; I felt it was such a beautiful and inspirational gesture. I felt that my community here in Lincoln Park, NJ needed this kind of positivity.

When Laura messaged me to discuss about booking a Fresh 48 session and we spoke over the phone, I felt an immediate connection. This baby girl story was so special and her story needed to be documented for sure!

Seeing a family grow and having the honor to document those special moments for them is what I love the most about what I do. I love telling their story with my art.

If you are a mom-to-be that prefer a more intimate and relaxed in-home maternity session, then a lifestyle session is your best choice. No need to deal with weather, bugs, being on your feet or being hungry. :) This maternity session was actually the first one I did at my client’s home and I loved it! It was so much fun!

Believe it or not, price is not (or at least it shouldn’t be) what determines who is the best photographer for you. Here are some topics you need to consider before you make your final decision.

Last and this year, I am booking many Fresh 48 Lifestyle newborn sessions. It is a new trend and I am hoping it stays because these lifestyle sessions are one of my favorites!
