Finding Your Photography Style
Finding Your Photography Style- As a new Photographer.
I love the colors and feeling of summer and spring, with lush greens, blooming flowers, and long sunny days. My photography style reflects this: bright, vibrant, and colorful.
It's taken me a long time to get to where I am now as a photographer. I had no idea how much hard work it would be. I've learned a lot about camera settings, editing, and poses, but defining my own style has taken the most practice and hard work. I spend hours shooting, editing, and learning every day, and communication with clients adds even more time to my work.
Ocean City, NJ- Family Photography in Pastels
Ocean City, NJ- Family Photography in Pastels
Here’s another photo session we did in Ocean City, NJ. This time it was with three little boys and the most gorgeous little girl! They perfectly complimented the beach scenery so let’s take a look at this dreamy beach session!
As the temperature starts to rise, and the sun starts to shine brighter, I find myself longing for the beach and the summer at the Jersey Shore. There's something about the salt air, the sound of the waves crashing, and the feeling of sand between my toes that just can't be replicated anywhere else.
Vintage Pop Shop Photography Sessions- Cape May, New Jersey
Vintage Pop Shop Photography Sessions- Cape May, New Jersey
Vintage Vibes at Stewart's Root Beer Restaurant
Ahhh. Last year... (before covid struck down on us hard) we had some gorgeous pop shop vintage sessions in gorgeous Cape May, New Jersey! THESE WERE SOLD OUT WITHIN MINUTES, but I guess you can see why!
These were absolutely soooo much fun to do. All of my clients dressed to the NINES and it definitely showed on camera. Our shoot took place at my friend's shop, Stewart's Root Beer in downtown Cape May, New Jersey. It was a former bank building, converted into the vintage pop shop that you see on camera.
