What is a peony? I have never heard of it! Picture gigantic fluffy salmon, white, blush, yellow, lavender and crimson colored enormous flowers. They bloom, here in New Jersey, towards mid to late May onto early June season. These are flowers primarily native to Asia, but can be found in sections all over Europe.  I grow them as well.

These plants are known to live for over 100 years which is rare for a flowering plant. When they bloom, they let of a gorgeous scent and are usually a staple in the late spring vase. There are not many peony fields in New Jersey so this is my pleasure to offer this beauty to my clients!The location in where I will be holding these sessions faces west, so I will be able to capture beautiful memories at sunset.

I am also stylizing these special sessions this year and can't wait to capture girls and boys running through the flowering fields with their families!!! Honestly, I wish it was spring already!  If interested, these sessions will be held on Saturday May 28th and Sunday May 29th. From around 4 to sunset and will conclude every half hour. Location will be given about a week prior to your session, for those who have booked.  Saturday's date is almost booked full.  I opened Sunday due to wanting to offer some flexibility on dates.

This should be prime blooming time for these magical beauties!!! The price is $225 and will include 5 digital files. You can purchase more files, if you wish! I will also have my assistant and gowns on hand for girls and offer various sizes from age 1 to about age 14, including one-of-kind hair pieces!  I will also be doing maternity sessions at this time! Gowns will be included! This will be a once in a lifetime gorgeous event and I hope that you are able come out!! It will be an incredible experience!!  Please contact me ASAP, if you want to get in on this magical event! 

Happy Shooting, my friends!
