Our award-winning exclusive peony sessions have been released. These are sold out every year. We are the only photographer permitted to shoot here since 2015. We will have it exclusively to ourselves. Peonies are one of my favorites to photograph. As you can see, many color options and many fields. This is our only weekend date availability until Late October and we only have two weekend dates left for the entirety of the 2023 year. After this next week, we have absolute no availability until mid-September (not even weeknights).

Magical Fairy Sessions in South Jersey.
A fairy photo shoot with children can be a magical and memorable experience for both the children and the adults involved. Here are some ideas to make the photo shoot extra special:
1. Choose a magical location: Find a beautiful outdoor location that has a fairy-tale feel, such as a forest, garden, or park. The location should have plenty of natural light and interesting backdrops for photos. We have a ton of excellent options to choose from!
2. Setting the scene: We can create a fairy garden or a fairy tea party setting with decorations like flowers, butterfly wings, fairy lights, and soft blankets. You could also add some props like fairy wands, flower crowns, and glittery fairy dust.
