Your Photography & local BFF

We know what it’s like when you’re rushing out the door and don’t have time to finish your makeup or change your kids into the cute outfits you set aside specifically for your photo session. Not to worry. Take a deep breath, relax and know that all you have to do is SHOW UP! We’ll take care of the rest. From our amenities, to our amazing staff, you’ll be able to sit back and watch the magic happen! 

Located in the heart of downtown Montclair, we’re a children and family photography studio. We encourage kids and families to be themselves while we make the magic happen behind the scenes. Think: easy, fun and simple. And stunning photographs!

We photograph in-studio, outdoors and off-site at events and parties.

About Brittany

Hi, I’m Brittany! I live in Montclair and I’m the proud owner of New Moon Photography! After years of juggling a freelance photography business and a demanding corporate job, I took the leap to follow my dreams and open my own children’s photography studio. And I’m so glad I did.

My favorite part: witnessing the look on our guests’ faces when they see the finished product! I know we’ve helped them capture and document special moments of their loved ones that can be passed on from generation to generation. Added bonus? Walking around town and seeing so many familiar faces from the studio :) To me, New Moon Photography is a family. And, whether a guest joins us for one session only, or returns multiple times throughout the year, our guests will always be our friends and family. The people in this town bring me so much joy, and I cherish the diversity, vibrancy, and creativity Montclair has to offer.

I’m beyond grateful for all the support and encouragement I’ve received since we opened in 2015…and I look forward to getting to know many more of the families in this incredible community!
