Christine is such a pleasure to work with. She is incredibly patient. Our session took place in October and it was certainly tough to shoot after a very active toddler boy and uncooperative preschooler. I especially love that the proofs were emailed within a week and the CD came in the prettiest of packaging. Such finesse! read more

Wow, we had such a great experience with Two Leaf Photography. Christine was so patient with all three of our kids, ages 6, 3, 1 years old. She made it so easy for our family and chose the right angles. She also chose a great venue at the right time of the day so the weather was actually perfect. She somehow got several shots of all us looking and smiling at the camera! The quality of her photos are pretty amazing and I was beyond satisfied with the final product. She is very responsive and extremely accommodating. We're looking forward to many more photo shoots with her!! read more

As a new mom I didn't realize that many people schedule their newborn photos before their child is even born to capture those very special early days. When I reached out to Christine she responded promptly and with confidence assured me that despite my delay she could still capture priceless photos of my son - and WOW, did she deliver! During the shoot, she exuded a calm, patient presence that made the session a fun, relaxed experience. She has a nuanced and detail-oriented approach that carries through each aspect of your interaction from the detailed pre-session materials, to the welcome she provides at her studio, the vast number of props and arrangement possibilities, the thoughtful packaging of your order and the remarkable end result. It was such a pleasure to work with Christine and we will treasure the images from the session always! read more

Two Leaf did my baby boy's newborn photos and they are seriously AMAZING in so many ways. They put in so much time, effort, patience, and love into each picture and you can see it from their pictures of my son, Leo. They really captured his newborn beauty in a natural yet artistic way and I still receive rave comments from friends and family about these pictures. Not only are their pictures amazing, Christine (the wife of the team) is a warm-hearted, generous, and uber-talented woman who pours love into her pictures and her subjects. Plus, they're super professional and prompt! I highly, highly recommend two leaf! especially if you're looking for newborn photographers! read more

We found Christine thanks to fellow Yelpers and we were not disappointed! Not only did the photos turn out even better than we expected, but Christine was so wonderful to work with. She was so patient with our newborn and with us as new parents. Her work speaks for itself, but she's worth every penny! read more

We hired Two Leaf to do our newborn shots based on a family member who has used them on multiple occasions. Christine is absolutely genius at what she does!! She is so professional, efficient and of course can't forget how nice she is. We were also very surprised at how quick she was able to get our pictures edited. I'm sure she is super busy with all the unbelievable work they do! Definitely worth every penny, we now have all these beautiful pictures of our new baby girl and can't wait to share with friends and family. Would recommend to everybody who's looking for quality work for a very good price! Can't wait to use her again in the near future!! read more

We hired Christine to do our baby girl's newborn photography session. She is extremely talented, professional and amazing at what she does. She came over to our apartment to do the shoot when the baby was only 4 days old. Both myself and my husband were exhausted from being up the night before - but we didn't have to worry, because Christine didn't need any direction whatsoever, she quickly set up her equipment and took charge. I was very comfortable with Christine handling my baby, both her and her assistant were calm and professional throughout. The pictures turned out STUNNING - we were very happy with the quality, composition and re-touching. The CD of photos and accordion books arrived beautifully packaged, and she even sent a little gift for my baby. I highly recommend Two Leaf Photo, so glad we used them for this memorable event. read more

Christine Miao was referred to us by friends who knew we wanted the best newborn photographer for our baby boy. She exceeded our expectations with her work. I absolutely recommend Two a leaf photography for all of your portrait needs. She is truly passionate about working with babies and families, and it shows in her work. Christine's studio is in her home, which makes for a more intimate and personal experience. She has beautiful props and accessories, especially for infant photography. Everything about her set up was centered around keeping the baby happy, safe and comfortable. She was super patient and allowed breaks for feedings. When my baby peed on several of her sets, she was totally unfazed and sweet, despite my total embarrassment! Her prices are not cheap, but she will work with you to customize her different packages to find something that works for your needs. Honestly, we stressed about the prices before returning to see our proofs, but once we saw those gorgeous photos--we knew immediately that it was money well spent. The photos are beyond outstanding. I can't tell you how many compliments we have received from family and friends. Incidentally, Christine also does pregnancy photo shoots, which all look stunning, and other family portraits. We can't wait to return to Two Leaf and Christine for future milestones in the life of our family--she is super talented and wonderful to work with. read more

I really enjoyed getting our family photos taken by Christine. Not only is she extremely talented but she was so sweet. She took time photographing each family member and the photos really came out beautiful! She even went on a walk with us so she can be sure to she captured our photos in the best light. I would recommend her over and over again! She also told us our photos would ready in 2-3 weeks and they were ready in 2.. is was a really wonderful experience :) read more

It was such a pleasure working with Christine. We booked her for our sons turning one session. She is easy to work with and has patience working with babies. She provided us with plenty of information, like what to wear and background options. She also has baby prop outfits that we were able to use. She's amazing at what she does. Thank you Christine for capturing a special milestone of our family. We love the pictures! read more

We used Two Leaf Photo for a family photoshoot centered around my toddler son. Christine was extremely easy to work with - responsive, flexible, & professional. I had some doubts after the shoot only because my toddler son was not very cooperative but to my extreme delight, Christine was able to capture so many beautiful & awesome pictures! There was a great mix of artistic/candid and portrait and every photo was just beautifully taken. I am extremely happy with the quality and overall experience and would definitely recommend to others. read more

We should have put this up awhile ago but Christine and Daniel are amazing! Christine shot our engagement photo shoot and the lovely couple shot our wedding in July - all of the photos came out beautifully! We were even more impressed by how quickly the photos were returned to us! I agree with all the other reviews that have already been left on yelp! read more

I loved working with Christine and I adore the beautiful photos she took of my 3 month old baby & 3 yr old son. It was such a pleasure to work with her. The photos came out GORGEOUS! She is a gifted photographer. Not only is she great at her work, she is delightful to work with. She was easy to get in touch with, schedule, and she had many ideas for the shoot. She also has many many props and backgrounds, and was so patient when my youngest was getting tired and hungry. While I am feeding, she was capturing pictures of my oldest son, and those turned out beautiful as well! I am so grateful for finding her and for the photos; she sent me a package of our album we ordered and even the wrapping was lovely and thoughtful. I can't wait to work with her again the future. Highly highly recommend! read more

We had our sweet baby photographed at 6 weeks for his newborn photos. Even though the timing wasn't perfect (fussy LO) Christine was able to capture soo many beautiful moments. She was patient and understanding and extended the session a bit to make sure we were pleased with the photos. Being first time parents and out of the house with the baby for one of the first times we felt very comfortable with Christine. Christine has an incredible eye, quite the collection of newborn props and a warm personality which made her the best choice for our baby's photographer. We would recommend Christine to any new parents and look forward to our 1 year old cake smash shoot! read more

Time flew with our pregnancy and before we knew it, we were scrambling to find a newborn photographer to capture the precious moments of our little one. We researched online and eventually found Christina through Yelp and fell in love with her portfolio on her website. They were artistic but not overdone. Albeit the last minute request, she was able to squeeze us in on a special session on a weekend, and even got a few family portraits in for us. To top it off, the results were just stunning. We got so much compliments both on the newborn portraits as well as the family shots. In a nutshell, our experience end-to-end was amazing and Christine was just awesome to work with: * She is extremely professional and responsive in all correspondence/interactions. * She sent tips and tricks ahead of the day on how to prepare the family (especially the baby) for the session and what to expect for the session. * She works magic with babies and was able to calm my daughter down and get her posed perfectly with such ease. * She was very patient even when the session ran long with my hungry baby who took forever to feed. * She designed a collage that meticulously matched (including color, fonts, layout) one that we did for my older daughter when she was born * She started the photo review session with a professional presentation that ran through what she considered her favorite shots, and then set me up to review all the pictures on her ipad in more detail at my own pace. * She uses up-to-date and easy-to-use technologies for photo selection. I was able choose, sort and filter favorites easily as I perused through all the awesome shots from the session right on her ipad. Previous photographers that I worked with did online reviews with websites that were often just crawling and frustrating to use. * At the end of the session, she already had all my purchased digital images ready to go on a two-leaf branded USB (inside in a cute little gift box), a gift set of onesies and a thank you card in a gift bag. That's GREAT customer service! We would certainly consider working with her again on our next baby/family event! read more

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Christine for our sweet girl's 6 month milestone photoshoot! We were incredibly impressed with the quality of Christine's work and her professionalism overall -- from the correspondence, to working out the details, and all the way through the final product. The images were amazing and met even my highest (and pickiest) expectations. We will definitely continue to choose Two Leaf Photography (and Christine) as our #1 family photographer. read more

We LOVE LOVE LOVE Two Leaf photography! We had a newborn/family session and Christine was amazing!! We were so impressed by her talent, professionalism, and how much TLC she put into each and every picture. We were a bit nervous taking our newborn to a photo shoot but Christine put us right as ease and was great with the baby. We got the pictures back so quickly and they all came out amazing! Our families rave about them and we are so thankful we have such beautiful pictures of our son. We highly recommend Two Leaf and we even plan on hiring them for a family session in the future! Thank you Two Leaf!! read more

We just had our first baby and I can honestly say the pictures that were taken were breathless...she captured perfect moments of our baby and i couldnt be more pleased...in 6 months we will return for more photos read more

Christine did a great job photographing our baby, she was really responsive and very professional. She was flexible and worked with our schedule and was quick in editing and getting the photos to us. The photo quality and look of it was very professional. We also liked that there was an option to purchase all the digital images, she also provides the ability to purchase prints through the gallery. Thank you Christine! read more

When I found out that I was pregnant, I already knew that I wanted to find a photographer to capture my baby's early days since babies grow sooo fast. I searched and searched through Google and came across numerous photographers in NJ and contacted them for quotes. They were all pretty slow in responding and all seemed too busy to really care. One thing that they all seemed to have in common was a reasonable session price but this came with a catch - the requirement of needing a minimum order of prints of at least $800. If you do your research, you'll find that each print can cost $85 and up, depending on the size of photos needed so you only end up with a few images printed in the end and you don't get the rest of the images. I realized that if I could find someone who could take pictures and provide them to me on CD so I can print them for my personal use, that would be ideal. I was lucky to come across Two Leaf Photography's website and saw that they offer a digital package with 3 mini albums at a very reasonable price. I don't know of any other company that does this, or if they do, I'm sure that they would take advantage and charge an exorbitant price. Two Leaf also had more variety of poses and props than other photography companies. I contacted Christine Miao, the owner of Two Leaf, via e-mail a couple of months before my due date, and she was very quick in getting back to me. She was also very, very friendly. We scheduled her to come to our house for a 7 am appointment when our baby was 14 days old. Newborns are best photographed in the first two weeks when they are likely to be sleeping and less fussy. Before the photo shoot, Christine sent us a list of things to do to prepare for it. This included making sure that the baby was fed and sleepy prior to her arrival and ensuring that the temperature in the house would be hot (we turned up our heater in the middle of summer to get it just right) to keep the baby drowsy. Christine arrived promptly and found a suitable area in our home for the photo shoot. Not a whole lot of room is needed. She set up all of her backdrops and had all of her props ready. Our son wasn't totally asleep and I started to panic being that the time started to tick, but Christine was very relaxed and said to take my time since she allotted 3 hours for the shoot, including time for the baby to get ready. She had me make a couple of bottles of formula (if you breastfeed, you can supply breastmilk) for him. The trick is to feed the baby until he is fully satisfied and sleepy. As he would awaken, she would feed him a tiny bit more. Our baby fell asleep completely and I left Christine alone as I didn't want to distract the baby or her. From what I could hear, Christine was very gentle with our baby and was an expert at keeping him calm and sleepy. It takes a VERY patient person to get babies to cooperate and Christine has a knack for doing that. By the time I knew it, two and a half hours had passed and she was done taking all of the photos. I didn't watch the photo shoot as I wanted the pictures to be a surprise. Within a week or two, Christine sent me a link to the photo gallery with the pictures she took and edited. I was just floored by the photos she took. They were exactly what I wanted and just PERFECT. She didn't skimp on the various poses and props and there were so many to choose from (color and black and white). I picked out 9 images to be used in the mini albums. Soon after that, she sent me a beautifully packaged CD with the digital images, a onesie with the Two Leaf logo and the three mini albums. I ended up using some of the images for my announcement cards (Christine sells announcement cards or you can get ones through certain websites that specialize in this) and have been getting soooo many compliments as people have been receiving them. I am soooo happy that I chose Two Leaf to take my baby's newborn photos. I cannot stop praising Christine and Two Leaf Photography enough and am telling all of my friends about them. I hope that her other customers continue to spread the word too. read more

We hired Two Leaf Photography for newborn pictures and we were way beyond impressed!!! This is definitely one of the best decisions that we have made. It took me some time to convince my husband to do it, but he is VERY happy that we did it. :) I have received so many compliments and can't wait to print these photos. The pictures on their website are worth every penny and it is such a pleasure to work with Christine and her assistant (a pediatric nurse- a MAJOR plus!). They are magicians to get our baby to be in those positions. Christine is accommodating, great with newborns and new parents, and is very responsive and fast with the editing, and much cheaper than other photographers. These pictures will be for a lifetime!! read more

I have 4 kids, so family photos are usually a bit of an ordeal, but Christine made this experience not only painless, but a good memory for our family, with great pictures. We did pictures at Vasona, and our family felt so comfortable. It was like a walk in the park with a family friend along. The kids were excited to have her take their picture, and we didn't feel rushed or overly posed. She managed to get amazing pictures of all 6 of us, together and individually. These pictures will be treasured in our family forever, and we're grateful to Christine for capturing the moments. read more

We LOVED working with Christine for our baby girl's first birthday milestone photo session! Christine was easy to work with from the start - she was prompt in returning emails and answering my many questions from outfits to scheduling. On the day of the photoshoot - instead of jumping right into it - I appreciate how she allowed us to get to know her a little bit and for our baby girl to get acquainted with her studio space. Christine is really gifted in working with kids - she had all the props and toys to make sure our baby girl was smiling and attentive on the camera. :D We received our edited photos earlier than expected and absolutely in LOVE with the album we purchase. This is definitely very memorable for us and will be treasure for years to come. I'm so happy and glad we got Christine to capture our baby girl's milestone and I would definitely recommend Christine to anyone who is looking for a warm, fun, professional photographer for baby sessions or family sessions! read more

Christine did an amazing job for our newborn photos. They are total professionals and really care about their clients. I had such a good experience that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Look forward to working with them again for future family events! read more

My husband and I used Two Leaf for our daughter's newborn photo shoot. Christine was really great and easy to work with! We were a little worried how the shoot would go since we weren't sure how our two-week old would behave or if she'd even fall asleep, even though we adhered to the tips and guidelines she provided. Luckily, the environment in the studio helped to lull her to sleep and when she was awake, Christine was still able to capture some great images. She also listened to what we wanted and incorporated some ideas we found online. The images turned out beautiful and everyone we shared the pics with love them! read more

I recently had my daughters photos taken by Christine and she did just a fantastic job!! she was so nice and so patient with my 3 month old. She had an array of props available for my daugher and set up the stage beautifully to match the props that I liked. She was so patient and even gave us time to feed my daughter when she got fussy during our session. The photos came out great and can't wait to work with Christine again!! read more

What I like the most about Two Leaf is their experience in handling babies and toddlers. The family portrait service they provide is exceptional and much attention and effort is spent on making sure the kids are safe and comfortable on the stage before the actual shoot, which I appreciated very much. read more

Wow! Amazing! Wonderful! Christine took my newborn's pictures in October. I booked her VERY last minute and she was so accommodating! I looked at several photographers in the area and Two Leaf was by far the best option. I only wish I knew about her when we got married:) She was so patient with my 13 day old son. I couldn't believe how perfect the proofs were. My family and I will cherish these pictures forever. I will most definitely use Christine again!!! read more

I have been looking for a photographer in our area that could take pictures of our daughter. We never went to do newborn pictures but as soon as I saw Two Leaf Photography on Facebook I knew we had to have pictures done and it was just perfect timing when they had their Mini Angel Sessions that were benefiting Newtown Memorial Fund. We went to her home studio and my daughter was a little shy at first but warmed up when Christine started taking pictures and she even played some music that was perfect for my baby girl. Christine is one of the sweetest photographers I've ever met! I wish I had known about her for our wedding. I have had bad experiences with photographers when ours took money but never delivered any of the albums or things we paid for - there are many scams out there and I was so pleased with Christine and had complete faith and trust with her. Did I mention she emailed me the proofs the same day after she said it usually takes a week? I could seriously go on and on. Blessed to have found Two Leaf! read more

Christine took our family photo shoot for our baby's first birthday and did a great job! She was very professional, easy to work with and sccommodating. She has a great eye and was able to capture beautiful pictures even though our baby was a little fussy and squirmy as one year olds tend to be! Christine was able to meet our tight timeline for getting everything printed and everything arrived in such pretty packaging! We had a terrible experience with our wedding photographer which makes us extra thankful for Christine and all her great work! read more

I have been admiring Christine's work for a few years now and finally had the chance to book a session with her before her big move to Cali. I have two young boys who are difficult to photograph and Christine was an absolute joy to work with! She made the session as stress free as possible and comfortable and I felt as though I was just chatting with an old friend. The pictures she captured were so beautiful and touching and I am so grateful we had the opportunity to work with her. We will definitely look for her again when we are on the west coast! read more

We recently had holiday photos done for our 12 week old son. Christine from Two Leaf was amazing. She was very patient and took amazing photos of him. We were very pleased and they exceeded our expectations. The prices are very reasonable and you will receive the images unlike many other photographers. I will definitely be using Two Leaf for years to come. read more

We are very happy with our daughter's First Birthday photos from Christine at Two Leaf! She wanted to know what we liked and what our vision was for the session, so we received a quick survey ahead of time asking about color and prop preferences. Everything was set up as we had discussed, and Christine even had a surprise prop - a little bathtub for my daughter to take a bath after her cake smash. It was adorable! My daughter was not very cooperative for her photos, but Christine still got a lot of great shots and we loved them all! She even had some outfits for girls and lots of accessories in the studio. We highly recommend her! read more

Christine did our newborn photos and she did an AMAZING job. I researched a lot of photographers and Two Leaf came recommended by a few people. I knew I wanted to get newborn photos before regretting not getting it later since they are the most precious moments! I am SO glad I did. Our sweet little girl was 6 days old and Christine was so gentle, so professional, so sweet and it was a lot of fun. We initially wanted to go for the least expensive option, as I was not planning to spend a lot on photos but when I saw the finished product, I couldn't help but get the most expensive package and they turned out beautifully. She did a video in the beginning and I cried pretty much the whole time. She is so talented, I highly recommend her! All of our family and friends love our photos and every time I look at them and look at my growing girl now, I am even more happy with them. Thank you Christine for cherishing our precious moments on camera. read more
