lifestyle family and newborn photography

let's chat!

Hi! I'm Aly. I'm a wife, mama, and lifestyle family & newborn photographer in the northern NJ region! On any given day, you can find me chasing our two little boys around outside, exploring local parks, playing pickleball with friends, or hanging out in my slippers & sweats with a cup of tea (with honey!) and a good book. 

Whether I'm photographing first-time parents or families with lots of little ones, I’m passionate about capturing genuine moments of joy, warmth and connection. My goal is to create images that not only reflect your family's personality but also stand the test of time. I’ll make sure the experience is easy, fun, and memorable, and I promise to deliver a gallery that you’ll treasure forever.

welcome, friend!

hello!

celebrating the gift of family through genuine, warm, and timeless photography

It's the belly laughs, the tight squeezes, the tiny fingers and toes, the toothless smiles, and the delight in just being together that bring me so much joy. 

When you look back at these photos months from now or decades from now, it's my hope that you will remember just what this season of your life felt like, in all of its mundane, messy, magical beauty.

"If we could give Aly 10 stars we would. I was apprehensive about doing a photoshoot right after giving birth to our baby boy. I was feeling extremely self-conscious ahead of time but Aly made the whole experience beyond easy. She is a beautiful soul with a warm approach and that helped. The pictures came out beautifully and her attention to detail was unmatched (not to mention getting them to us so quickly)."

She was so patient and energetic to match our kids' energy! For anyone wanting an easy, fun and memorable photoshoot, we will always recommend her!”

"Aly truly understands the art of capturing moments that last a lifetime. Her creativity and ability to make us feel comfortable during the session was remarkable, and she definitely captured our little girl's personality in every image. If you’re looking for a photographer who combines skill, passion, and exceptional service, we will always recommend Aly Jacobs Photography."
