Before the world meets them, there is this moment. And it deserves to be remembered exactly as it feels right now.

Real Moments. Real People. Real Love.

Real Moments. Real People. Real Love.

A woman with long dreadlocks, wearing a black beanie, black top, and tan cardigan, is pregnant and smiling while looking down at a man who is kneeling and kissing her pregnant belly. The man is wearing a beige beanie and white sweater, and he is tenderly holding her belly with both hands. They are outdoors with trees in the background.

Beautifully, Uniquely You

No two pregnancies are the same, and that's exactly what makes yours worth documenting. Whether you're feeling radiant and ready, emotional and reflective, or a little bit of both — we're here to capture it all with warmth, care, and a whole lot of heart.

This is for the Parents…

  • Who want their photos to feel like something.

  • Who are ready to slow down, breathe it all in, and simply be present in this pregnancy — while we take care of the rest.

  • Who value real emotions over perfect poses.

  • Who want a session that feels less like a photoshoot, and more like finally being celebrated the way they deserve.

And most of all, this is for the people who want to look back at these photos and feel it all over again — to not just see themselves smiling, but remember the weight of everything they were carrying, the love that was already so full it had nowhere left to go, and that indescribable feeling of being right on the edge of the most life-changing moment of their lives.

A man and woman are smiling in a flower field, with the man standing behind and placing his hand on the woman's shoulder. The woman is holding a bouquet of flowers and wearing glasses, while the man has long hair, a beard, and glasses. The background shows a clear blue sky and a lush green landscape.

There's a version of this time that disappears before you can hold onto it. The way your hand rests on your belly without thinking. The way the light falls on you at the end of the day. The way your whole life is quietly rearranging itself around someone you already love completely.

These sessions aren't about looking a certain way. They're about feeling something when you look back — years from now, when this season is a memory. Real moments. Real light. Real you.

No posing required. No perfection expected. Just you, exactly as you are, in one of the most extraordinary chapters of your life.

“Alex and Arielle are a dynamic duo! My husband and I had the privilege to experience their vision of photography. With his muse Arielle right by his side, Alex continuously blew our minds with his photo poses and ideas for our maternity shoot. Great conversation, great vibe and fantastic photography, what more can a girl ask for?! If you need a photographer make sure you ask for Alex! He is a superb photographer, a visionary and an overall joy to be around! Our maternity shoot was only 30 minutes, but in just an half hour he captured truly breathtaking moments that will shape beautiful memories. Thanks Alex!”

We're Alex and Arielle — a husband & wife photography team based in New Jersey. Between the two of us, we bring everything a great session needs: a trained eye for light and storytelling, and a warmth that makes everyone in front of our camera lens feel right at home. We believe a session should feel just as good as it looks, and we pour that belief into every photoshoot we take on.

Hi, nice to meet you!

Whether we're turning your living room into a studio, stepping outside into the world, or taking lifestyle photos at home—wherever you feel most like yourself, that's where we want to be.

From transforming your living room into a studio to chasing golden hour outside — we go wherever you feel most like yourself, whether you're coming solo, with your partner, or with the whole crew in tow.

Our traveling studio comes right to you — no traffic, no parking, no stress. Just your space, your comfort, and a camera. It's perfect for cozy at-home sessions, intimate moments between partners, or when the kids and fur babies absolutely have to be part of the magic.

We also love capturing the quiet, everyday beauty of this season — a hand resting on a bump, a partner reading to a belly, little ones pressing their ear against yours, the tender routines that make up a life growing fuller.

And with a name like "Ginkgo Lens," we'll never say no to the great outdoors. Whether it's the beach, a quiet forest, a lakeside, or a field of tall grass — we'll find the backdrop that feels completely, naturally you.
