Chris Gocklin is literally the best! He is very responsive, fun, makes you comfortable, he’s a hype man and he’s a phenomenal photographer! He truly went out of his way and ran around everywhere for us. He had helped all the groomsmen, my now husband and my father put on their boutonnières, he even helped me with my dress! He got all of our details and his light shined through not just through his lens, but through the kind of person he is, which speaks volumes. He makes you feel at home and like family!

We could not recommend Chris enough! We had such an amazing (and fun) experience with him for our engagement photos. His pictures perfectly captured us as a couple. Chris was patient and took the time to speak with us to get a sense of what we were looking for. Not only did he make an effort to make us comfortable in front of the camera but he also had us laughing the whole time. You can’t go wrong with Chris, I will forever cherish the photos he took of us and will definitely be scheduling more shoots!

Chris did a maternity shoot for us, and he was amazing! We had to change our day due to some pregnancy issues and he worked with us every step of the way! The finished project was absolutely beautiful and he captured everything we wanted! We told him what kind of styles we were looking for, and he went above and beyond to find a spot for us to shoot at that met that! Highly recommend Chris, and will be using him again for sure!!

Just got our photos back from our family shoot a couple weeks ago and they are WONDERFUL! How he captured anything at all with my almost 2 year old running in circles screaming most of the time is beyond me. He made us feel very at ease and comfortable - we are not naturals at being in front of a camera. These maternity/family pictures are ones I will cherish forever and I can't wait to hire him again for our newborn photos in a few months!

I highly recommend Chris. My teen felt extremely comfortable around him and thought he was down to earth and fun which allowed me to finally get family photos where he is actually smiling and having genuine fun. Chris listened to my vision for a spooky themed witch shoot and made it happen Both kids will be talking about the fun they had during the shoot for years to come, versus feeling the stress of a family pic! My toddler had a blast at our sunflower session too.

Chris was great! He helped us lock in the location of our shoot, did research of the grounds and had locations picked out on our arrival. Chris was awesome with our kids, even our grumpy 2 year old. He directed us very clearly and had us laughing the whole time. I would highly recommend. The pictures came out phenomenal and we couldn’t be more Pleased with the entire experience! Thank you Chris!

We had such an amazing experience working with Chris for our newborn photos! Chris is super detail oriented and was very communicative prior to our session. He was willing to travel to us and arrived ahead of schedule. Upon arrival he got setup and made working with an unpredictable newborn so easy. Chris’ beautiful work speaks for itself. We can’t wait to work with Chris again soon.

From weddings and family gatherings to intimate milestones, I don’t just document events; I bring stories to life. As a parent, I understand how quickly time moves—how tiny hands grow, how laughter fades into memory, how fleeting moments become the ones we cherish most. That’s why I don’t believe in stiff, posed photos. I focus on the raw, unfiltered moments—the way your eyes light up when you see someone you love, the unscripted joy, the quiet in-between gestures that say more than words ever could.

When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer. You’re inviting a storyteller, a memory-keeper, and someone who truly cares about turning your most meaningful moments into lasting works of art. Let’s create something extraordinary—one frame at a time.

​Hi, I’m Chris—photographer, storyteller, father, husband, teacher… and yes, I can even fold a fitted sheet! But titles don’t define us—the stories behind them do. And photography is my way of telling those stories. The moments that shape who you are, the ones that might otherwise fade in an instant—I capture them, preserving their emotion and authenticity forever.

My journey began in the small town of Vernon, New Jersey, with an old Polaroid camera passed down from my mom. That camera changed the way I saw the world, teaching me that photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about seeing people, understanding their connections, and capturing something real. By the time I graduated from Lynn University in Boca Raton, I knew photography wasn’t just a career—it was my calling.

Let’s Create Something Meaningful Together

Whether you’re planning a wedding, a family session, or a special event,
​every great story deserves to be captured, 
​I’d love to help tell yours.
