Hey there! I’m Lia Jay
As lifestyle family photographer in Bergen County, NJ, I love capturing genuine moments and family dynamics. As a mom, I know it's the little things that tell your unique story. A session with me is all about fun, connection, and unforgettable memories.
Why Work With Me?
Because these aren’t just photos—they’re memories, emotions, and art. I make the process fun, relaxed, and full of real moments. Let’s capture your family the way you actually are—beautiful, chaotic, and completely you.
Let’s do this!
Why Book a Session?
For all the times you dreamt about scheduling a lifestyle family session but didn’t want to deal with the complaining you assumed your kids would do.
For all the times you saw your friend’s beautiful portrait of their family hanging over their couch and really wanted your own.
For all the times you wished you were IN some photos.
Because you need a fun activity with your kids and will have beautiful pictures to boot.
Because it’s the best excuse for quality time with your family.

“This is the second time I've used Lia Jay for branding pictures and I'm in love!!!She captures the emotion, the brand, the message I'm trying to give over.
Before the shoot, Lia took the time to really understand what I'm looking for, allowing us to take a ton of on-point pictures.
Oh! And she has AMAZING energy that it makes the whole photoshoot so enjoyable!!

“Lia is the best!!! She made us feel so relaxed and safe and comfortable - even in the cold rain with a cranky baby! Her pictures really captured the love and silliness of our family. I can’t wait to hang them in our home! I cannot recommend her enough!!!”

“My family had an amazing session! Loved the energy and vibrancy that Lia brought. She managed to make my husband, who hates photos, enjoy the photoshoot. My kids had a great time because Lia made lots of jokes and managed to find the right balance of telling us where to go without making us pose. She captured a lot of little moments between the kids and the parents. To top it all off the photos came out beautiful! The color balance was perfect. Overall I would recommend Lia to friends and would definitely use her again”

“I hired Lia to take photos for a branding shoot. I have never looked forward to taking professional photos or really enjoyed seeing photos of myself. Lia has an innate ability to put you at ease and make you feel like a million bucks! She made sure I had excellent advice about clothing, makeup, jewelry, and lighting before the session so I arrived confident. She had me smiling and laughing the entire time. Her positive vibe made the session fun! (I was kinda sad when it was over. Is it weird to invite your photographer out to coffee because you think they are so cool?) The end result was spot on. Of course I had way too many fabulous shots than I originally planned to order.
If you are not someone who loves to ham it up in front of the camera, but you know that this is a necessity for the next step in your business or career- Lia is the one you need to hire!”
