Fairytales of New Jersey: A Little Girl, Her Unicorn, and Their Enchanted Forest

There's a whimsical fairytale unraveling in the heart of South Jersey, far from the trappings of modern life. A charming little girl in a vibrant green Adrianna Ostrowska dress, her unusual companion, a unicorn named Drifter, and the captivating backdrop of a verdant forest. This magical tale is more than just a simple story; it's a captured moment, a testament to the power of imagination, and a journey into a world where anything is possible. We love unicorns and it’s really big here. We get a lot of people from New York State, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland and even Virginia that come up for these unicorn sessions!

Reflecting on Loss and Cherishing Life's Moments- as a photographer

Reflecting on Loss and Cherishing Life's Moments

These last few months have been eye-opening to me. My friend tragically passed away in July. I miss her greatly, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her. Anytime someone passes that you are close with, there's a ripple/wave effect. It helps you to reflect and look around and see what you have. It makes you try to cherish each moment even a little more. Being on this earth at any second is no guarantee, and it is up to us to make the best of it.
