Vintage Vibes at Stewart's Root Beer Restaurant

Ahhh. Last year... (before covid struck down on us hard) we had some gorgeous pop shop vintage sessions in gorgeous Cape May, New Jersey! THESE WERE SOLD OUT WITHIN MINUTES, but I guess you can see why!

These were absolutely soooo much fun to do. All of my clients dressed to the NINES and it definitely showed on camera. Our shoot took place at my friend's shop, Stewart's Root Beer in downtown Cape May, New Jersey. It was a former bank building, converted into the vintage pop shop that you see on camera.

Storytelling Through Photography- Personal Family Photography

You are storytelling in this work-Family Photographer in South Jersey

You have one story and then something happens and it changes you.. your perspective and I believe this is where I am now. My perspective has changed recently.

This is the stage where you start to have an understanding and become a master of some sort of training of your eye.Now, finally telling my story, my eye and the story of the subjects that I am capturing... THE STORY through the photographs we create.

I urge anyone in photography to be involved in groups when you start out a bit. What I mean by groups, is Facebook groups catered to professionals/amateurs. Use this valuable info in these groups to hone the technical basics.

Breakfast at Tiffany's Shoot!-Philadelphia Photographer

Breakfast at Tiffany’s Photo shoot in Philadelphia!

Who doesn't love the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's? Audrey Hepburn in an elegant updo... Classy and sophisticated clothing. It was a dawn of the new age in the 60's. A booming economy after World War II. The start of the baby boomer generation. I love true elegance. It's what our photography company in the Delaware Valley is all about. This is why we offer the styling and dress selection for all our clients. We have tremendous offerings. From vintage, to classic, to elegant, to maternity.. from headpieces... right down to the socks to wear.
