NJ Communion Photography Sessions- A South Jersey Tradition
NJ Communion Photography Sessions- A South Jersey Tradition
It is hard to believe that this little lady was not having it as part of this session. She smiled and came through and had a fun time! I love capturing first holy communion portraits. Hands down it’s a great rite of passage and something to truly celebrate! This photo session we actually did at the Shoemaker School in Woodstown NJ. They have a cute little garden courtyard and then we headed over to the Woodstown High School as they have a meadow area that looks gorgeous at sunset!
Fall Family Photo Shoot- Woodstown, NJ Edition.
Family Photography is Always so much fun!
I am attempting to get some of my work up on here. I've been truly very busy! I'm writing two books and have been booking for this upcoming Spring and Summer for the photography business! I'm truly glad that the weather is starting to get a little warmer because I love working outdoors! I find that to be the most fun. Studio work is fine, but there is nothing like being outside! I just love most outdoor images. Am I wrong in feeling this way? Here's a family I did back in the fall! We had so much fun! Mom likes a little creativity so we tried to capture that! Our session was done here at our studio in Salem County!
Keep Taking Photographs Of Your Kids... You'll be a pro or semi-pro... in no time!
I learn a little more everyday and in hopes to improve. Anywho, I'm getting off subject! I'm telling you moms and dads out there to try and make the effort of learning photography and taking better photographs of your kids. Learn how to shoot in manual mode (you will thank me). Read your camera manual over and over again until it sticks in that noggin of yours! Trust me, you do not need a fancy camera! That is all bull in this industry.
Engagement Session
This was my first engagement session and there was quite a twist with this one... the fiancé broke his foot! He was in a cast so this made this session just a bit more challenging than most, but what do you know? I LOVE a challenge... bring it on! I always seem to work well under pressure. It must be from many deadlines of my corporate days!
