NJ Communion Photography Sessions- A South Jersey Tradition

It is hard to believe that this little lady was not having it as part of this session. She smiled and came through and had a fun time! I love capturing first holy communion portraits. Hands down it’s a great rite of passage and something to truly celebrate! This photo session we actually did at the Shoemaker School in Woodstown NJ. They have a cute little garden courtyard and then we headed over to the Woodstown High School as they have a meadow area that looks gorgeous at sunset!

VW Bus Delivers Nostalgia and Fun in Sewell, NJ

The allure of the VW Bus, with its iconic design and retro charm, immediately resonates with people of all ages. Our team knew that incorporating this classic vehicle into a portrait session would not only add a touch of vintage flair but also evoke a sense of adventure and carefree spirit.

Breaking The Mold As Artists- Take Some Risks! 

Breaking The Mold As Artists- Take Some Risks!

As a photographer, it is important to try new things to continually grow and evolve in your art. Experimenting with different techniques, styles, and subjects helps expand your creativity and keeps your work fresh and innovative.

Trying new things also allows you to discover your strengths and areas for improvement. By pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, you can uncover hidden talents and develop new skills that can enhance your photography.

Furthermore, embracing new challenges and experiences can lead to unexpected opportunities and breakthroughs in your work. Whether it's exploring a different genre of photography or utilizing new equipment, stepping into the unknown can spark inspiration and ignite passion for your craft.
