Mommy & Me Mini Session!

Mommy and Me Photo Shoot in Cherry Hill, New Jersey

There's something really special about a mother and daughter relationship!  There's a certain bond and understanding as to the emotional side of things. The relationship you have with your mother is probably the best relationship you will ever have in your life.  The relationship sparks your future relationships, as well as it affects how you will choose to parent one day!  Mothers and daughters are what this world is made of and makes it special! I love my mother and I cherish every day and moment I have with her! 

We recently had the pleasure of capturing a heartwarming mommy and me photo shoot in the charming town of Cherry Hill, NJ. As the camera clicked, the love and bond between the mother and child shone through every shot. Against the picturesque backdrop of Cherry Hill's pristine landscapes, the mom's nurturing nature and the child's innocent joy created a perfect harmony. From tender hugs and giggles to shared secrets and stolen glances, this photo shoot captured the essence of their precious relationship. These portraits will be cherished reminders of the beautiful moments that unfolded on that sunny day in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Hi smiling one!

Last shot among the cherry blossoms in Cherry Hill!

All of my locations are scouted and I have scoured all over the South Jersey area to provide the best for my clients!  Anywho, back to this session!  This was a mini session that was done here in South Jersey among the gorgeous cherry blossoms!  These trees are the same as the ones in Washington D.C.!   I was so excited to offer this type of session this year and can't wait to do it again, next year! Woo hoo!  

My mini sessions usually sell out fast, since I do not offer these too often! As this one was! I had a great time meeting these two gorgeous ladies!  And we had an absolute blast in our time together! My big thing is doing pastels lately. I love soft a vibrant colors!  And love being different from other photographers in the area! I am sure these photographs will be truly cherished for years to come with these two! We got a ton of great photographs from this session (I just decided to pick a few at random to post up on here).  I hope that you can enjoy them as I have! I find it to be my greatest joys in working with people and capturing the true emotion and essence of folks!

 I have a way of relaxing my clients so that they feel comfortable and at ease and this shows throughout my work and with my photographs!I truly can't wait to do this event  again next year, South Jersey!  

I have a few more I would love to get up here and to show you all from this session! I've truly been very busy and I guess that's a good thing!  I can't wait to show you what is to come and other sessions that I have done and have not posted yet!I see myself doing this cherry blossom session for many years to come!  

These blossoms go on for a few miles and folks come from all over to see and enjoy them!

Until we meet again, my friends!

Happy Shooting,

Just A Dog With His Mom!

A photoshoot with this dog mom and her puppy in New Jersey!

This has been an insane year South Jersey! Business has been growing and we've been very very busy, which is why you don't normally see too many blog postings up on here often!  I am loving all the newness that has occurred this year!  We've been a business since October 2014 and it just continues to blossom and grow!  It has been such a tremendous and exciting journey.  

We've already done two weddings which is a new offering and we have more approaching in the pipeline in this upcoming year!  We really can't wait! This is a very exciting time!It's such a joy to be be able to photograph precious memories for people.  I feel honored! I truly do! I am definitely not in it for the money as it is very hard to make an entire career out of it (some day!), but I do find great joy in this.  It's a lot of fun!

This pup.. cracked me up the entire session.

Taylor was a behaved little pop and you can tell he loves his mama!

This is my favorite photo of the bunch of Taylor and his mom!

These photos are from a recent session in our private garden! Mom wanted to get photos of her and her “son” wink wink furry baby and I said "Sure, why not!?!"  I've worked with dogs before and love it! My favorite is doing family sessions with the furry love muffins! I'm always prepped with treats and sparkling water for my wet-nosed clients!  

So... meet Taylor.. He is a dachsund mix and mommy said is a bad dog from time to time, but he was great during his entire session! He smiled the whole entire time!!!This session was such a blast to do!  I truly enjoyed working with mom and Taylor!  I think mom and Taylor did too!  They even came all the way from out of state (Delaware) just to get their photo taken with me!  I feel truly blessed to have been able to capture these moments and I know mom will treasure them for a lifetime!  Here’s their story… below!

Fun Times Photographing Taylor the Dachshund Mix and His Human Mom

I had an absolute blast capturing the adorable moments between Taylor, the charming Dachshund mix, and his delightful human mom during a recent photo shoot in my picturesque garden here in South Jersey.

As the sun bathed my garden in warm, golden hues, it created the perfect setting for this heartwarming session. Taylor, with his long ears and expressive eyes, exuded an enchanting charisma that was impossible to resist. From the moment he arrived, tail wagging with excitement, I knew we were in for a real treat.
Taylor and his mom shared an undeniable bond. It was enchanting to witness the genuine love and affection flowing effortlessly between them. They were an inseparable team, a dynamic duo that radiated joy in each other's company.
Throughout the photo shoot, we explored various locations in the garden, allowing Taylor's playful spirit to shine. Everywhere he went, he spread happiness and infectious energy, making it nearly impossible to resist capturing those whimsical moments on camera.

The garden's vibrant flowers and lush greenery served as a captivating backdrop, enhancing the beauty of both Taylor and his mom. Their chemistry was palpable, and every click of the shutter seemed to encapsulate their unwavering connection.
Taylor's mom was an absolute superstar, too. She embraced the session with sheer enthusiasm, effortlessly radiating love and pride for her furry companion. Together, they laughed, snuggled, and shared countless tender moments that made my job a real joy.

Time flew by as we captured an array of candid and posed shots. From playful games of fetch to gentle cuddles under the shade of a blooming tree, Taylor and his mom showcased an incredible bond that melted hearts.

As the sun began to set, tinting the sky with vibrant pinks and oranges, we knew our time together had drawn to a close. However, the memories we had created would last a lifetime – reminders of the love and happiness shared between Taylor and his mom.
Photographing Taylor and his mom in my garden was an experience that truly captured the essence of their beautiful relationship. It was a privilege to be a witness to their connection, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have frozen those magical moments in time through my lens.
As I reflect on that day, I cannot help but smile, knowing that the photographs we captured will serve as lasting mementos of the love, joy, and fun that Taylor and his mom share. It was a photo shoot filled with laughter, wagging tails, and a whole lot of love – a truly delightful experience that I will cherish forever.

Plus, I truly enjoy working with animals!  I've worked with them in family sessions in the past and it ha always been a great time!Hey, I know I will treasure them, too!

Happy Shooting, South Jersey!

These two came all the way from Burlington County for our special photo shoot, to one of my secret locations, in Gloucester County! I love all the scouted locations I have discovered throughout South Jersey! I'm playing catch-up with this blog here.  I was so busy this past fall, I had up to 3 photo shoots in a day, that I'm finally getting around to posting some of my work!

Corn fields, anyone?

Cornfields make for an incredibly cool and unique photography backdrop. The dense rows of tall, vibrant cornstalks create a mesmerizing visual effect, adding depth and texture to any shot. The golden hue of the corn against the clear blue sky provides a striking contrast, while the gentle breeze swaying through the leaves adds a touch of movement and life. Whether capturing a whimsical portrait or a rural landscape, cornfields bring a sense of warmth and rustic charm to any image. With their picturesque appeal and natural beauty, cornfields offer photographers an endless array of creative possibilities for capturing captivating moments.

This is slow season in the industry.  I have many backdrops and props for studio shooting, for this winter season, however, nothing ever tops an outdoor shoot, ever! These two were such a true delight to work with! I had them smiling and enjoying the scenery.  I am very happy with the results and mom was too!

Cuteness overloaded.

All the beautiful smiles.

Classic autumn in South Jersey!

This particular site has wonderful leading lines, great shade coverage for mid-afternoon shooting.. Cornfields, rustic fences, a meadow and a stream!  If you were to add a barn, this would be the ultimate location. I picked this particular location because it was autumn and the beautiful colors on the trees were starting to show. Mom wanted fall pictures and that's what I wanted to deliver!

I always give the kids a lollipop when we are finished are shooting and I managed to get a cute little shot of these two in the process!

This was near the stream in our session!

There is nothing more special than witnessing this beautiful bond these two have. There is true love here. Can't you see it? I definitely adore working with children! These two were just lovely.

Here's a few of my favorite photographs from our brother/sister photo session. Hope you enjoy and that it puts a smile to your face!  Like it does for me, every single time!

Kids! Kids! Kids!  I absolutely adore working with kids!

Happy Shooting, my friends!
