New Dresses Being Added To The Shop And Will Be In Our Maple Shade, New Jersey Photography Studio!

I cannot believe that my dream is coming to fruition! I have worked soooo hard these past FIVE years. I have wanted to have a studio for the past two years, but it was really tough to narrow down a location. I have been searching high and low for a place that could be conveniently located to most of my clientele. Although some towns are charming like Pitman or Mullica Hill. It's access is kind of difficult to highways. Although, Mullica Hill does have Rt. 55 and the turnpike going for it.

I did some research and through talking to my friend, he had a space available to look at in Maple Shade, New Jersey and I fell in LOVE. It's exactly where I felt I needed to be. I grew up in Mt. Laurel and I actually use to work in Maple Shade, so I knew that this would be a great place to set up shop and have wonderful access points to my customers that reside all over the tri-state area! As of November 1st, I will be all set up and ready to go!

As part of my services, that I love to offer my clients, I offer a lot of styling of dresses. I recently picked these up from Joyfolie. I love joyfolie! They always have a vintage style look to their designs and they photograph beautifully. I have a lot of littles that are starting to grow up and needed to fill in with larger sizes! I hope that you like!

Cannot wait for this to come in from joyfolie! This will photograph stunningly and also a great addition to all the upcoming Christmas Sessions we are having!

Pink is extremely popular and probably the most photographed that I do. This addition will be great within the mix that we offer!

So I love the PINK ONE and thought.. hey this cream would be nicely paired with the pink... let's say I have sisters that I work with... so I added this lovely addition to the mix. I could see this dress being photographed for studio sessions in Maple Shade or in downtown Philadelphia. This style is timeless and can work with so many different types of sessions.

This is the last dress I purchased, however this can pretty much be paired up with ANYTHING and that's why I love it. Can be used in a field like this, city, with a family session. The list is endless. So many locations I can use this in South Jersey. Which is why I got it!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the new goods! Cannot wait until these bad boys come in! They are a PERFECT addition to add to my vast collection! I love being able to provide styling and wardrobe to my clients. That way all they need to do is show up and smile and we take care of the rest for them!

Until we meet again and happy shooting!

Ah... those days of summer. I honestly can't wait for them! I cannot stand the cold this time of year. It's pretty dreadful out there. Isn't it? I tend to not like shooting in the forest, this time of year, because the leaves are dead. So you will most likely see me shooting in an urban setting... which I love and I want to do more.Another image of the day!

This image of the day is brought to you by the summer... There is a meadow right down the street from me and it tends to produce a lot of varieties of wildflowers depending on the month.  I adore it.I dressed this little girl up in a pretty little pink  Anna Triant dress and got her twirling and dancing in the meadow here and I got to capture this sweet little moment! I wanted to keep it light and airy and a little minty and I think I succeeded!!

Who doesn't like flowers right? I can't wait to go back in the spring when everything is blooming again! Ahh! It's truly heavenly!  Who doesn't like flowers? Well, I guess if you are allergic to them.. I truly love South Jersey! I can usually find a neat spot around every corner!  Just like this guy here!Reach out any time if you have any questions! I am always available!  For locations, dress choices.. I am definitely your girl! We can even meet for coffee and tea and just chat on what you would like to do! All the best :) and I'll just keep dreaming of spring and summer's arrival, okay?)

Spring Is Almost Here!

Spring Will Soon Arrive

As the winter frost begins to thaw and the days stretch a little longer, we are reminded that spring will soon arrive. The promise of new life and vibrant colors emerges with each passing day, rejuvenating our spirits and awakening the world around us.
With the arrival of spring, nature comes alive in a symphony of blossoms and melodies. The once barren branches of trees burst forth with delicate buds, and the earth awakens from its slumber with an explosion of fragrant blooms. The air becomes filled with the sweet scents of fresh grass, blooming flowers, and earthy petrichor, inviting us to venture outdoors and revel in the beauty that surrounds us.

As the season transitions, we find ourselves shedding the layers of winter and embracing the warmth of the sun. It's a time for renewal, growth, and rejuvenation—a time to cast off the old and embrace the new. We plant seeds of hope and watch as they flourish, mirroring the growth and transformation within ourselves.

The arrival of spring also evokes a sense of joy and optimism. It's a time for outdoor gatherings, leisurely strolls, and basking in the gentle caress of the sun's rays. The world seems to come alive with energy and vitality, infusing us with a renewed sense of purpose and enthusiasm for the days ahead.
As we eagerly anticipate the arrival of spring, let us take a moment to pause and appreciate the beauty that accompanies this magical season. Let's embrace the sense of wonder and possibility that comes with each budding flower and each warm breeze. Spring will soon arrive, and with it, the promise of new beginnings and endless opportunities.

We had some fun in the snow this winter! Love a snow photo shoot!

Our Current Status With Bookings

Hi folks! You may have been noticing that these last few days have been rocking!!! Seventy plus degrees outside!  The birds are singing and the sun is out! Woo Hoo!  I thought this winter would slow down a bit this year, to last year's abysmal time, but it hasn't. I've been fortunate to work consistently this winter. This spring is starting to look a ton more nuts!I am doing a lot of First Communion sessions.  

A lot of folks seem to really want an updated/artistic look to their traditional communion poses that you normally see (and to be honest a lot of these poses are kind of outdated as if they were taken in the 1990's it's time to bring some sauce back)! We'll incorporate a few of the traditional poses into our sessions, but also give it some of that Shooting Star magic that we all love!  The girls will get to be dolled  up in their first communion gowns and then I am going to dress them up in some of the gowns I have!

Communion and Family Sessions seem to be a popular start of the New Year

 I'm also wanting to incorporate any family/siblings into these sessions, so they should be fun! I'm very excited as I'm getting new inventory in every single day! I've got over 20 more gowns arriving soon, headpieces, and I ordered my first gown for women!   And Oh my goodness!!! I cannot wait until you see them!!!!  Our next HUGE concept shoot will be in Philadelphia next month! We're also booking out until June, so if you wanting to book.. Book now. Our last year was booked out for the entire year by August. I wouldn't want for you to lose your spot! 

Since we had a nice day today, I got to do some cleanup in the garden and enjoy the warm sunshine... so I made this cheesy video. There are a lot of photographs missing, but I truly do love where I live and to be able to offer it to my clients.The only thing I ask is please don't come knocking at my door, when you don't have a scheduled appointment or didn't call first.  I had someone come to my home yesterday and it scared me!!

Oh and try to get out to the Philadelphia Flower show this week!!! It's pretty amazing this year! The bartenders make some pretty mean Bloody Mary's too!!!! It's an interesting concept this year and I love it!So that's pretty much what is new for me! A few shoots this weekend and it's starts to get crazy after that, with shoots during the week and weekends!! So if I haven't responded, you know what I'm doing and I will get back to you as soon as I can!!! 

Happy Shooting My Friends!!!
