This South Jersey Gal Loves Working With People!
To be a successful photographer in South Jersey, it's actually more personality than the technical stuff. Us South Jerseyans are all about personality! Truly!
Some say, being successful is the 80/20 rule. 80% technical and 20% your understanding of settings, lenses, cameras, depth of field, and studying light. I am always a student by learning, studying, and taking classes! Knowledge is power and it also helps to keep me on my toes. I make it a point to learn something new and practice daily!
