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! 

The family is from the Pitman area. Here a few photographs from that session!By doing these posts, it's fun to see the progress I have made in such a short amount of time!  I really put in the hard work to learn and educate myself. A day doesn't go by that I'm a student and learning new things! I think this is why I love photography so much, it's a continuing process of love and learning. 

You could be a professional for twenty plus years, and still not know everything!  It truly is something really exciting to get into and boy, it's a challenge! The good thing is I love a challenge:)  I also love seeing how far I've come from when I first started this journey. I love growing! Anyway, enough of my ramblings... hope you enjoy some of these images! Many great things to come!  Just you wait!!  I am so passionate about photography and I love making people smile!  And Whew!  I have to get more work up on here, I have plenty more to share! 

Happy Shooting, my friends!

I think anyone would buy a bunny from this dapper young man. What do you think?

Our mini special is $49, this special includes a 25-30 minute session, 3 hi-resolution digitals to download from an online gallery and 1 8x10. You may order more items and all of our pricing is located on our price tab from the main page. I don't do these very often and am excited to announce that we will be doing spring mini's.  My mini's are very rare as they sometimes take a full preparative concept and then the entire planning of the set and even putting up and taking down can be a lot.Mini's are more than technically one session in an entire day, it could be 8-10 families or children that come to see you within that day, so one must have the energy to do them!  The equipment and my backup camera, batteries fully charged and memory sticks locked and loaded. In offering mini's, I like to welcome people to my home.

The setup is generally easier (I can walk right outside the door) and it's a matter of convenience.  Also, my garden acts as a beautiful backdrop and I love how private it is.  Privacy is what a lot of folks hold dear and folks feel relaxed and at ease here.I am not one for theme's.  I like more natural settings, but from time to time, they can be fun.  However, I do find the mini's beneficial to parents. 

Most kids, don't have the attention span to sit still for too long... after all they are kids, so instead of paying for a full-hour session in which parents know their kids and know some kids can't make it through an hour, that mini's are the most ideal.  They are quick and painless... plus, can be a ton of fun!

Yesterday, I took my kids out in the yard to take photographs of the potential setup we will be using.  I love my kids and they make the best models sometimes.  I also get their holiday sessions in... so it's a win-win on both sides. However, using my kids to model, it gives me a general feel in how I want the set to be designed. I also get to test out lighting in a particular location, or even test the overall design plan with general wear and tear. 

I will be fine-tuning this setup. I love some things, like the little stand and eggs scattered throughout, but there are a few other things I will be changing up to make this absolutely perfect for my clients.If the weather is going to be too cold, or it ends up raining that day, we will be doing studio shots indoors with a backdrop and this general setup, so either way, you will have a pleasant day!  BUT it is SPRING!  Outdoor photos would be most ideal to celebrate the season, don't you think? I guess we will see what Mother Nature has in store for us!  

Happy Shooting my friends!
