CELEBRATING MILESTONES
milestone photographer Ocean County NJ
love notes
Marianne was incredible to work with for our newborn photos. Marianne is a professional and it’s evident in the way she handled our little girl. The entire experience was enjoyable and peaceful (and that’s impressive when working with a newborn). She was also patient with me as a first time mom and I felt absolutely comfortable handing over my little girl to her. The pictures came out even better than we expected! She took her time, made sure to get all the shots we wanted and honed in on the style we were looking for. I know these pictures will be memorable forever and we’re so pleased with them!

Marianne was very responsive to our questions and was very helpful leading up to our appointment for newborn portraits. We instantly felt comfortable in her studio and very happy with all the extra care she took handling our newborn with special needs. Our photos are stunning and we absolutely love them. We are so appreciative of her experience and expertise!

Welcome to my happy place!
our baby’s safety and comfort are always the priority. With experience photographing more than 4,000 babies, I use gentle, safety-led posing throughout every newborn session. Imagery by Marianne is fully insured.
The Imagery by Marianne studio is located in the Chadwick Beach section of Toms River, near Lavallette, in Ocean County, New Jersey. Studio sessions are available by appointment and are typically scheduled on weekday mornings. The studio is fully prepared for newborn, milestone and branding sessions, with backdrops, props and select wardrobe pieces available. Optional professional hair and makeup can also be coordinated for your session.

of touching, of loving.
What you have caught on film is captured forever…
it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
