Remember that we can’t fix the past and we can’t see the future. We might as well live in the present. It's important to be in the moment and to enjoy life.

Why is it important to be happy?

Happiness is an essential aspect of life, and it is crucial to our overall well-being and quality of life. There are several reasons why it is important to be happy.

Firstly, being happy helps to improve our physical health. Studies have shown that happy people are less likely to suffer from chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Happiness is also linked to a stronger immune system, lower levels of stress, and a longer lifespan.

Secondly, being happy helps to improve our mental health. Happiness can reduce feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress. It can help us to cope with difficult situations and bounce back from setbacks more quickly. Being happy also helps to improve our relationships with others, as happy people tend to be more open, friendly, and compassionate.

Thirdly, being happy helps us to enjoy life more fully. When we are happy, we are more likely to appreciate the simple pleasures in life, such as spending time with loved ones, enjoying nature, or pursuing our hobbies and interests. Happiness also gives us a sense of purpose and meaning, as we are more likely to pursue activities that bring us joy and fulfillment.

Finally, being happy can have a positive impact on society as a whole. Happy people tend to be more productive, creative, and innovative. They are also more likely to contribute to their communities and make a positive impact on the world around them.

In conclusion, happiness is essential to our overall well-being and quality of life. It improves our physical and mental health, helps us to enjoy life more fully, and has a positive impact on society as a whole. By cultivating a spirit of happiness and joy, we can lead more fulfilling lives and make the world a better place.This is what I have learned and loved while doing photography for almost a decade.  Every face is beautiful. I've worked with young children (Babies through the elderly)... Look into the mirror.  See the artwork that God or our creator has created. We are all unique and special. Have all creative qualities and are intelligent beings.

 What do you like most about yourself or your significant others? Is it your/their eyes?  The green, blue or brown color?  Your cheek bones?  The shape of your lips?  The sweet freckles on your face or your children's?  Your kind spirit is what shines and always will and this will show in photography.   Be you. Your true essence. You are beautiful.  Hold onto yourself.  Love yourself, as the universe loves you.  Hugs to all the precious women and men in this world going through any difficult time in life.

As you walk out in the world, know that what you put out there, is what you will receive back tenfold. Positive energy= postiive vibes. Stop and smell the roses around us. Bring out the good in people. This is what I try to capture. The goodness and the love.

Remember tough times don't last, but tough people do.

Mommy and Me- Philadelphia & South Jersey Photographer

Mommy and me photography sessions are a wonderful way to capture the special bond between a mother and her children. As a mom, you are often the one behind the camera, capturing the special moments in your children's lives. But how often do you take the time to capture these moments with your children?

These sessions are usually short, sweet, and all about capturing the connection and love between a mother and her babies. This can include children of all ages - from newborns to grown children, who are still our babies in our eyes.

Whether it is getting into your child’s unicorn session or just a simple portrait, it is important to capture these memories with your children.

If you are located in Southern NJ or Philly region, I have many gorgeous location options to choose for your own specialized mommy and me photography session. I am an expert at creating a relaxed and comfortable environment for both you and your children.

One of the biggest challenges moms face when it comes to mommy and me photography sessions is deciding what to wear. The key to great photos is to stick to a similar color palette. This means choosing colors that complement each other and avoiding clashing colors. You can opt for muted colors, neutrals with one pop of a bold color, or even a black and white palette. My preference is pastels. Pastels give a soft feel to your imagery and can work with any location option!

If you're not sure what to wear, many photographers offer wardrobe suggestions or have a client closet available. They can help you choose the perfect outfit for both you and your children and we have that for you! A whole client closet of all the beautiful things!

Not only are mommy and me photography sessions a great way to capture memories, but they also help boost your children's self-esteem. Seeing their mother proud and happy in photos displayed in their homes can give them a sense of identity and security. It also shows the love and connection within the family.

In conclusion, if you're a mom who is always behind the camera, consider scheduling a mommy and me photography session. It's a wonderful way to capture the bond between you and your children, and create memories that will last a lifetime. And if you're located in Southern NJ or Philly region, we would love the opportunity to capture and to help make your session a success.

We have locations all over from Cherry Hill, to Medford, to Hammonton, Philadelphia, Mullica Hill and even throughout Northern Delaware. With private gardens at our disposal or a beautiful flower field at sunset.
