Country Roads Take Me Home- Living in Woodstown, NJ.
A lot of people think that you need to have the most beautiful locations to have portraits done. Honestly, it is all about light. If you can find an area that has beautiful light, any location will work. Try it out yourself!
Here are some examples of using “your backyard” and literally I used my backyard (when I lived in Salem County and now living in Camden Country) in most of these images. If it wasn’t in my backyard, it was down the street. The trick to getting good in photography, is using what you have and the resources around you. You’ll then be a master in no time.

In my yard, I get a lot of great afternoon light. My kids, when they were younger, well, I drove them nuts and wanted to photograph their cuteness all the time… but of course, that gets old and well, they start to rebel. So the bribes would commence. I’d ask them to just come out to the yard to take a few photos.

A fun movement capture of a little lady!
As you can see, we didn’t do too bad with what is around. We even gathered up some neighborhood kids and did a vintage shoot!
I hope you enjoyed these images. I encourage you to go outside and make some magic!
Have a magical day!
