Family Photographer In South Jersey- Croft Farm Cherry Hill

Family photography at Croft Farm in Cherry Hill, NJ never disappoints!

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!

New Maternity Dresses! For this South Jersey Photographer. Woo hoo!

It's OFFICIAL South Jersey! MATERNITY GOWNS ARE HERE!

For a very long time, I have been wanting to do this and offer this as part of my maternity packages! So... here is my first shipment in a plum color! Please do not judge on the backyard setup as I had a pregnant relative model this for me right away! As you can see it is a lovely gown and I will be ordering a bunch more in different colors and styles! I will also have a few crown options available!I truly want to show off those beautiful South Jersey pregnant belly bumps and this is a definitely a very elegant way to do so!!! Maternity photography is my absolute favorite to capture as I'm sure you can tell all over my blog pages and portfolio!!! I never shut the front door about it! I will be ordering in a few more jewel tones and then some neutral colors! All of these gowns are handmade in the GOOD OL' USA!!!
