Baby Shower at Orange Lawn Tennis Club
There’s something incredibly special about documenting the season just before a baby arrives—the anticipation, the quiet excitement, and the love that already surrounds a growing family. This baby shower at Orange Lawn Tennis Club in South Orange, NJ was a beautiful reflection of all three. This pink clad celebration brought together close friends and family for an intimate gathering that felt both elevated and full of personality.
A Naturally Lit Indoor Venue in South Orange, NJ
Orange Lawn Tennis Club offers a stunning indoor event space that is flooded with natural light—something that makes an incredible difference not only in the overall atmosphere, but in how the day is captured. I especially like the porch style entrance with its statement green door which made a great backdrop for portraits with Laura & Glen. Choosing a venue with strong natural light—like this one—is key to achieving timeless and airy images.
A Playful Train Theme with a Personal Twist
While the decor featured playful pinks, there was also a thoughtful element woven throughout the celebration—a custom “cho-cho train” theme inspired by the couple’s last name.
This subtle, creative twist made the event feel personal while still maintaining an elevated aesthetic. Design accents like train car table numbers, signage with trains, and miniature trains on the bar added a layer of charm and storytelling that made the day uniquely theirs.
These kinds of intentional touches bring a celebration to life and make the photos feel even more meaningful.
