When the kiddos want chicken nuggets, you give them nuggets... The Golden Nugget Tavern... that is!

There’s something about tradition, local watering holes and about a place that captures the local flavor of real people. I truly believe, The Golden Nugget Tavern captures this essence. You walk into this place and it is a friendly, no frills, down to earth atmosphere. You’ll see families, old, young, small kiddos, teens, blue collar, among white collar individuals. It is the true flavor of South Jersey. 

It’s not a cookie cutter boujee establishment. Unlike, a lot of new restaurants or even pubs and you see these new guys trying to keep up with the trends. Often times, these new restaurants are missing character or a comfort/familiarity/ambiance. Nope, this is a place that transports you back in time.

This place is right around the corner from the GOLDEN NUGGET. Get your family session and then head over to, "The Nugget" after!

From the old collectibles in the glass display cabinets, to the 2010 Kenny Chesney concert advertisement on the wall, down to the animals, most likely hunted from around South Jersey and proudly displayed around the bar. It’s an atmosphere that actually makes you feel at ease, there’s a true comfort and I truly feel it captures the feel of South Jersey.

Cutie smiles. Love my families!

Hugs with the family!

Absolutely beautiful location.

Not only do they have shuffleboard (and I haven’t seen sawdust shavings at an establishment in a long time) as most don’t keep up with maintenance usually. To the pool table, that was actively being played by a father and son (maybe 10 years old and beating his dad), it’s an establishment that you could get use to. 

Often times greeted by staff, as you enter, like it is Cheers. You sit down and immediately are handed a menu and asking for what you would like to drink. Anything on the menu, does not disappoint. In fact, their buffalo chicken salad is a star, as well as their Golden Nugget bites (need to get wet, with your choice of sauce). You will not leave this place hungry. Nor disappointed. 

Ring around the Rosie fun!

Ring around the rosie fun! This was the real sky that night. It was awesome!

You’ll most likely leave with happy faces, from you and your kids and full bellies, wanting to come back again and again. 

We haven’t tried the outdoor bar/dining area yet because it has been hot the few times we’ve gone this year. We prefer air conditioning in 90 plus degree weather. Hehe. However, the outdoor area looks very nice. As well as numerous and maintained horse shoe pits, all over the place and most have tournaments often. 

A fall photo session shoot! In South Jersey!

Forest fun!

This is an establishment that has been a part of the South Jersey landscape for decades. It’s not to be missed. It really should be on everyone’s bucket list to just try out once, if ever in the area. I think you’ll enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, lively patrons (I love hearing people laugh and just having a good time) we saw a lot of young and old families gathering while here, good food, cold drinks and great staff. If wanting to see what South Jersey is about, this is the place.

If ever wanting a great restaurant recommendation for after your fun shoot with us! We got you covered!

Have a magical day, my friends!

Fall Farm Photography Sessions-South Jersey

Fall Farm Sessions in South Jersey! Welcoming this season of 2021. Beautiful warm light and happy faces, it is all you need.

There's nothing better than the fall. We've actually had a great September and November when it has come to the weather. We have definitely lucked out! All around Southern New Jersey, the leaves are starting to change colors. I am seeing some reds and yellows turning already. There have also been some pretty fantastic sunrises and sunsets as of late!

As I drive my children to school everyday, I get to watch the sunrise. This past week did not disappoint! As a photographer, I love great light and this year has not disappointed.

Check out today's sunrise in Salem County in New Jersey! Incredible.

There is one thing I really love in this business. It is farm sessions. I have developed a wonderful relationship with a great friend of mine who offers these sessions. Her farm is the perfect backdrop for your family. She offers a variety of friendly animals. From pigs, horses, chickens, donkeys, a cow and down to peacocks. She has them all! They are super friendly.

Farm Sessions are LIFE. SO much fun! All in Southern New Jersey!

A Farm vintage photo session in New Jersey would be a wonderful and unique experience for both kids and adults alike! With the beautiful and serene backdrop of the countryside, there are countless opportunities to capture stunning photographs of the children interacting with the animals and exploring the farm.

One of the great things about a vintage photo session on a farm is that it provides a unique opportunity for kids to interact with animals they may not normally have the chance to meet. They can pet and play with gentle farm animals like lambs, goats, chickens, and ducks, while also learning about where their food comes from and the importance of caring for animals.

In addition to the animals, there are also many beautiful settings around the farm that make for wonderful photo backdrops. Whether it's a picturesque red barn, a rustic fence, or a beautiful open field, the natural beauty of the farm will add an authentic and timeless feel to your photos.

And let's not forget about the vintage theme! Dressing the kids up in vintage clothing or rustic farm attire will add an extra touch of charm to your photos, while also making for a fun and memorable experience for the kids.

Overall, a Farm vintage photo session in New Jersey would be an amazing experience for kids and adults alike, providing the perfect opportunity to capture beautiful photographs while also enjoying the simple pleasures of life on the farm.If you'd like to get "down on the farm" and capture some artistic images, feel free to reach out to us. We love our customers and most of all... love creating memories that last a lifetime! Let's go play with animals and get a little dirty. Life is too short. Making art is the one thing I live for.

Happy shooting, my friends!
