With this ever changing daily economic market (and boy,  is it crazy out there). From the lack of baby formula, to the craziest gas prices,  that I have ever seen in my lifetime ($73 to fill up my tank yesterday), to a possible recession. The world has gone bonkers. 

Families all over the world are flabbergasted at the past 3 years. Hello, covid and we are still dealing with this epidemic. It most likely will never go away. That families and small businesses are encountering new glass ceilings to overcome. We continue to feel the crunch.

I have to say, that I am truly blessed with what I do. I enjoy taking families to a magical land. What I mean to say about that, is I want families to be in the moment with me. I want them to feel happy. Be happy and feel joy. I want them to feel the 

magic and boy do we try, that we create and as you see in our images, but also to feel this behind the scenes.  

My goal is for you to not feel pressured or anxiety going into your session… I do get that it is a lot of preparation and it sure is, getting the children ready, convincing the husband to come along and that this will be quick, hair, makeup… kids rested (especially, the littles) a cranky kid at a session is never fun. We have all been there. Trust me. it can all be overwhelming and daunting… in that most want or try to get everything to be perfect and go perfect, right? The goal is for us to worry for you. That is our job. 

I am going to try and get a blog up everyday. It’s going to be a social experiment. I may just post a photo and talk about it. I may just talk about nonsense or real life, I may just highlight a certain family, talk about my kids, or possibly, just sharing some local South Jersey history, but it will hopefully, be fun.
