CAPTURE LIFE'S LITTLIEST MOMENTS
Toms River Newborn, Baby, and Family Photographer
Welcome to Snap It by Pessy Engel. I photograph newborns, babies, and families from Toms River and across New Jersey, focusing on honest, natural moments rather than anything overly posed.
Those early days move fast—tiny stretches, sleepy yawns, the first hints of a smile. My sessions are relaxed and centered on your baby, capturing who they are in this fleeting stage so you can hold onto it a little longer.
HI! I'M PESSY!
I specialize in newborn and baby photography for families from Toms River and the surrounding areas. With a calm, patient approach, I keep sessions easy and comfortable so your baby—and you—can relax.
For me, it’s not just about getting the “perfect” shot. It’s about noticing the small things: the way they curl up, those fleeting expressions, the little details that change so quickly in the first year.
Whether it’s a cozy newborn session or a milestone shoot full of personality, I’m here to document this season in a way that feels natural and true to your family—so you can come back to it years from now.
RELAXED, PLAYFUL SESSIONS
Summer & Outdoor Photography
Outdoor sessions are all about soft light and natural connection.
Think lush green spaces, warm golden hour light, and sun-kissed moments that feel relaxed and real. These sessions are easy, playful, and focused on capturing your family just as you are.
NEWBORN & BABY PHOTOGRAPHY
I design my newborn photography sessions to be calm, safe, and comfortable for your baby. Every detail—from lighting to props to posing—is carefully planned to highlight your little one’s beauty and personality.
What You Can Expect in a Newborn Session:
- A professionally styled studio environment
- A safe, soothing space for your newborn
- Thoughtful use of props, wraps, and outfits
- Custom packages tailored to your family
- High-quality, timeless images you’ll treasure forever
I also love capturing baby milestone sessions, from sitting and crawling to first steps and birthday celebrations. Each session is customized to reflect your family’s style and your child’s personality, so every photo feels personal and meaningful.
