And now the tears come!

My Kid’s First Birthday Shoot!

I am so far behind on this blog and getting work up here/updating the portfolio, but had to share photos of my little gal!  I'll get to the latest works soon! I've just had a lot of folks book recently and even did my first wedding that the blog tends to go a bit on the back burner!This little princess just turned one year old and she's even more special because she's all minel!  I can't believe how much time has flown by! Just yesterday, I had her in my arms and now she is walking and talking a little bit! Where has the time gone? Seriously!I love babies and children!

 I just want to squish their cute little big cheeks! I truly enjoy working with children from all over South Jersey and our area, it gives me tremendous joy.  Most folks, would run away from working with kids, but not I! I adore them, I really do!I love the personalities that start to develop at the one year mark. You see the little child they are about to become and the baby rolls and buddha bodies start to go away and then child emerges! It's like poof the 1-2 year old timeframe!

However, there is what we call in the photography realm... the "photographer" curse.  As photographers, we are able to capture great moments of other kids and babies, but when it comes to our own (I guess the kids are tired and so use to it) that you'll see little crying fits from your own kids! It is what it is and me and other photography pals enjoy posting and showing each other our whiny fits that we get from our kids!  I am one of those weird ones that likes these range of emotions.

I call them perfectly imperfect moments.These moments define childhood for me. The drool, the chocolate on the face (as she has here) the tears running down her precious little face... are all what childhood is about and I love embracing it as a mother!   I have a sense of humor though! These moments are truly priceless to me!!

Happy Birthday, my little princess! I love you!

Best and Happy Shooting, my friends!

Fall Shoot in South Jersey

Even cute with the tongue and all!

I adore candid photos! Got to love a good pumpkin.

Really a great little kid!

Cutie kiddo with the pumpkins in Salem County, NJ.

Dud somebody call for the fire rescue?

The smiling firefighter… at your service.

Emergency Emergency... This boy is here to help put out some fires!

There is nothing better than the fall season here in South Jersey!  They are spectacular and it is something I look forward to every single year!  The weather is usually dry, sunny and the temperature is just perfection!  I even got married in October, that's how much I love it!  It's also the busiest season when it comes to photography. Most photographers are very business during this time! It's because most folks want to give out nice Christmas photos or just an annual thing families like to do, to capture some everlasting memories.   This is also one of my favorite times to get out and photograph landscapes.  I love Salem County, but I also like to check out the other counties throughout South Jersey as well.  After all, I am Yummygal of South Jersey History and Adventures! 

I know, I know... extremely corny, right... the name? That's a story in itself!First off... I want to apologize for all the recent posts.I'm truly sorry! I am so behind here! You may have to get use to me for a little bit. I'm just trying to play catch-up! I have not had the time to put up my sessions here on the blog.  I've been very busy. However, since it is the slow season, and it has died down just a little bit, due to this horrible weather we have been having. I'm able to get some sessions posted! 

This little boy had a fall photo shoot here at Shooting Star in Woodstown.  He wore normal clothing as well, as his firefighter Halloween Costume. And as you can see, he is just too darn cute! He's made for the camera! The weather was perfect. The lighting was perfect... And well.. He was just perfect as you can see.  You can't help, but to smile back!  I do a little pumpkin patch on the property every year to give it that extra fall feel.  The photos came out great!  I selected a few to post here.  Hope you enjoy seeing some photographs of our little fall session! Okay Okay Okay... This little boy is my kid... But I try to make it a point to photograph him every season as a mom! 

Happy Shooting, my friends!
