Wisteria Cottage Sessions

Life should be simple. It should be grand. We often get caught up in the day to day and forget to be present. We forget to enjoy and make time with the people who love us and that we surround ourselves with. Before you know it, it's a year later. A year that just whizzed by. Or a year that someone is no longer here with us and we miss their presence. We realize life is short and need to fill it more with laughter. More joy, more smiles, more moments. Time, unfortunately, does not stand still. This is why it's important to cherish each and every single day, as today, may be the last day you have.

And... this is precisely why I do, what I do and I enjoy every single second, in what I do for a living. I cannot tell you how blessed I am, that people hire me to capture this time, this moment in their lives. As time is fleeting. Kids grow. We age. Sickness approaches. Those we love and then one day they are no longer here. This is why it's important to capture and cherish as much as you can. This is what I love creating for every single family that I work with. Memories burned and captured forever in time.

As Kool & the Gang (I recently saw them in concert), puts it, the world is always changing. Nothing stays the same. We should cherish the life we live and cherish the love. That's my goal, personally this year and to bring that love over to my clients and capture that love of my families.

One place that truly encapsulates such timelessness and love, is the wisteria cottage. I fell in love, with this special place, over 8 years ago. Every single year, the wisteria puts on a dazzling and aromatic display of beauty. The cottage also reminds me of something you would see over in Europe. Time standing still, but here in New Jersey.

Please join me for my special Wisteria Cottage series from April 30th, May 1st and May 2nd. As we take a step back in time and enjoy the sweet smell of spring. Hope to see you here for this very special series, near and dear to my heart.

Cherry Blossoms This Year~! South Jersey Photographer

Cherry Blossoms This Year!!!

 This year was an absolutely gorgeous April.. Unfortunately, it looks like April was dry.. and there were May showers.. April flowers must bring May showers..My new slogan. May has been a very soggy month. A lot of reschedules, but we made it happen. At least Memorial Day weekend was a blast and we had some fortunate weather!Plus, some amazing golden light images.. As you see below... we had about 18 cherry blossom sessions from April to May this year. We're finalizing the rest of them as we speak. Lots of galleries will be out this upcoming week!!! I am truly blessed to call my home in South Jersey and to be permitted by these beautiful families each and every year to capture their most beautiful children!!! Cherry blossom season is one of my favorites to capture every year. It's when things start to come alive and abundant and that better weather is on the near horizon. We lucked out on some excellent weather for these. I love the cherries. Both pink and white blossoms definitely create some amazing backdrops. I teamed up with Little Dreamers Tutus based in the United States for creating some unique and beautiful designs around these blossoms.  The dresses were unbelievable quality and I am blessed to have Whitney, owner of Little Dreamers create some beautiful gowns for me and my customers. We just finished our peonies for the year and I cannot wait to also share those images with you. We have a very packed 2018 and we are no longer taking anymore clients on for the year. I truly appreciate the customers that have hired us for this sold out year. It's truly been an incredible journey these past three years. I cannot wait until next year as we will be working with more animals and truly being a unique force in the South Jersey photography landscape. We're working on providing some killer options for 2019! If you would like to book a 2019 date or could not get in with us this year, we have a delightful lineup that we are planning for next year!!! Please let us know! We look forward to working with you!!! Happy Shooting, my friends! Dee
