Peonies can be a beautiful addition to portrait sessions, adding color and texture to your photos. They come in a range of colors from crimson, magenta, pinks, peaches and whites.

Peonies are a popular flower for many reasons. Here are some of the reasons why peonies are great flowers:

1. Beautiful Appearance: Peonies are known for their large, showy blooms with vibrant colors ranging from pure white to deep reds and pinks. The fluffy petals create a romantic and elegant look.

2. Fragrance: Peonies have a sweet, pleasant fragrance that fills the air, making them an ideal choice for weddings, gardens, or any occasion where you want to add a touch of natural beauty.

3. Longevity: Peonies have a long blooming period, usually from late spring to early summer, and they can last for a week or more in a vase. They are also a hardy perennial, meaning they will come back year after year with proper care.

4. Versatility: Peonies can be used in a variety of ways, including as cut flowers, garden plants, or as a centerpiece. They also complement other flowers and foliage well in floral arrangements.

5. Symbolism: In many cultures, peonies symbolize romance, prosperity, good fortune, and honor. In some cultures, they are also believed to bring good luck and happiness.

   Overall, peonies are a great flower because of their beauty, fragrance, longevity, versatility, and symbolic meaning. They make a great addition to any garden, bouquet, or special occasion.

Happy Shooting, my friends!

Family Photographers in the Philadelphia Area and South Jersey

I met the beautiful “C” family when I first started this business.  I can’t tell you what it means to me, to see my families grow over the years. I’ve seen this little girl turn into a little woman. I’ve seen family members go off to college and unfortunately, members who have passed (but grateful that I was able to capture memories), onward to this little guys First Holy Communion. Boy, it’s been a ride. Two dogs later and two kids heading off to high school. It surely perks you up to see how much time has flown by and how important it is to capture these memories. 

What is special about booking a fall photo session in South Jersey? 

A fall photo session can be a unique and special experience for several reasons:

1. Beautiful Colors: Fall is known for its stunning and vibrant colors. The changing leaves create a warm and cozy atmosphere that can make for beautiful backdrops in photos.

2. Cooler Weather: Fall brings cooler temperatures, which can make for a more comfortable and enjoyable photo session. There's no need to worry about sweating or feeling uncomfortable in the heat, which can be a concern during summer sessions.

3. Wardrobe Options: Fall fashion is known for its cozy sweaters, scarves, and boots, which can make for stylish and fun wardrobe options for a photo session. These clothing items can add a pop of color and texture to photos, making them more interesting and visually appealing.

4. Mood and Atmosphere: The fall season has a unique mood and atmosphere that can make for a cozy and intimate photo session. The warm and cozy feeling of fall can create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, which can result in more natural and genuine photos.

5. Holiday Cards: Fall photo sessions are perfect for holiday cards and family portraits. Taking photos in the fall allows you to get ahead of the holiday rush and have plenty of time to select and send out your holiday cards.

Overall, a fall photo session can be a unique and special experience that captures the beauty and warmth of the season.

Family Sessions with the pups are always the best. Fall Session in South Jersey.

Siblings. I Love being able to watch these kiddos grow throughout the year.

Family is truly everything. It is not cliche. It is what gets me up every single morning.

It’s not about making memories, anyone can do that, but I just want to give every individual that comes my way, the best that I can offer. It’s a pride thing for me. It's my art that I love to share with the world. I CANNOT give my clients something mediocre as I know these will be keepsakes they may want to hang on their walls. It’s got to be art, it’s got to be what the client wants and envisions and I also want to be proud for anything that leaves my doors. 

Fall photo session with this handsome guy!!! Had to do the cool hand over hair move.

fall photo sessions. Love the falling leaves and colors.

I got to capture this absolutely stunning family in one of my favorite forest spots. I love the light any time of year and when it is fall, the colors just come alive (as you see here). I hope you enjoy! I look forward to creating something special for you and your family! 

Let us create some magic for you and your family.

Happy 2022!
