A photograph is not just a moment

It's a story - 

   Your story

Let's suspend

your story

in time together

"Time it was and what a time it was, it was...
                A time of innocence - A time of confidences
Long ago it must be... I have a photograph
                Preserve your memories - They're all that's left you"

       - Paul Simon 

Hey there!

      I'm Wendy and I can't

                  wait to meet you!

I'm a thirty-something-year-old photographer based in Central New Jersey​ who fell in love with photography all the way back on those throwaway cameras my mom would get me in elementary school.​

My favorite subjects were the sky, my pet rats, and my younger sister.

Fast forward, and today I'm lucky to live in my own cozy home with my partner Jeremy, being a mom to two cats and a pot-bellied pig.

My calling truly lies in seeing the one-of-a-kind spirit of each individual I meet, and capturing their essence in a way that is totally unique and true to their authentic self!

No one person is identical to another, and I believe that is what underlies the beauty of each and every one of us.

Capturing the unique souls of my fellow human beings is my passion!

​​

Thus, no two souls should be photographed exactly the same way. 

Each one deserves a personalized experience in order to truly unveil the distinctive character within.

I adore getting to know every individual who comes to my photographic doorstep!

Learning all about you - where you came from, your goals and aspirations, your dreams, and your loves is what empowers me to fully and clearly capture your essence in authentic, still form. 

With me, you will be heard, seen, and fully embraced in all of your intricacies, charms, and nuances. 

Life is never perfect - it nestles within hectic weekdays, messy details, relaxed weekends, and beautiful whispered moments 

But this is exactly what enables a photographer to create images that don't just halt a stale minute, but that breathe and speak and feel like the memories as they were happening.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Wendy was easy to work with! She clearly directed us into different poses and scoped out the best spots for photos!

 

The engagement photos were taken where we went on our first date which makes them so special and we will cherish them!

I first connected with Wendy back when she was taking a high school photography course, and she needed a subject to photograph. Since then, it's been my honor to be her go-to model, and such a privilege to get to see her improve her craft over the years.

She has dedicated so much time and energy into this craft, and I find myself consistently blown away by the quality of her work.

Her photos of me have made me feel so beautiful and confident about myself, that she's inspired me to pursue modeling for other photographers as well. I can't recommend her enough!

Working with Wendy was such a wonderful experience! She scheduled our engagement session at a time in the morning to ensure we captured the most beautiful light, and she chose the perfect location at Princeton University to match the aesthetic I was going for.

From the moment we met her, she was warm, kind, and personable - which made the entire session feel natural and fun! My fiancé and I never felt uncomfortable or awkward, and she somehow managed to capture both our personalities and our love for each other so perfectly.

The photos are absolutely stunning and something we'll treasure forever!

We had this urban photo shoot in mind and it was such a fun and amazing experience! Wendy was super patient with me since I don't know much about posing, and she made the whole shoot feel fun and comfortable. She made sure to catch my best angles! 

Wendy made me feel confident in front of the camera... She made sure the final results matched exactly what I envisioned and she added her own personal touch that made the photos even better than expected. The photos came out amazing! Professional, natural, and captured me at my best!

Nowadays, I see most couples either waiting to get engaged to have their love documented or never doing it at all simply because they've chosen not to marry.

Too many people don't think their "nows" deserve to be preserved, forgetting that every "now" is a past self you'll wish you could look back on years from now.

Families are so consumed by the busy and the bustling of everyday living that they forget that they must take those moments of pause to appreciate their family - their children, their lover - in their current forms and memorialize these stages of growing into who they will become.

Don't wait for a "tomorrow" or an "eventually" that never actually arrives!

 

       Take charge and take back your memories from the hands of time!
