Tis' The NJ Photographer Busy Season
Tis' The NJ Photographer Busy Season
This is the CRAZIEST time of year for any photographer. We are super duper busy and it seems like there is no end in sight! Ha! However, I know there will be in the next upcoming weeks and thank goodness! I had to turn folks away this year because our books were completely full. In fact, we still are pretty full for the remainder of the year and have sessions up until New Year's Eve.. Yup, working until the last day of the year.However, I truly am blessed. For a photographer who specializes in only outdoor photography (I am trained in studio and have shot events indoors) I am pretty blessed that folks are reaching out to me to get their treasured moments captured.A lot of my weekdays have had to reschedule this week due to the rainy weather, so we will be doing them next week. I am quite surprised that folks are still wanting to do outdoor sessions.

Being YOU and letting your creativity flourish as a photographer!
Being YOU and letting your creativity flourish as a photographer!
I sometimes write my blog for other photographers. We are always trying to find our way. Or think we have perfected something, but then realize we haven’t. A lot of us photographers are dreamers and I think that’s what we like to bring forth for our clients.
Embracing Your Unique Perspective as a Photographer
As a photographer, it is crucial to celebrate and embrace your individuality. Your unique perspective and creative vision are what set you apart from others in the field. In a world filled with countless photographers, it's essential to let your creativity flourish and be true to yourself.
Capturing First Birthday, Baby, and Toddler Portraits in South Jersey
The Magic of First Birthdays and Toddlerhood
The first few years of a child’s life are unlike any other. Babies grow and change so quickly, transitioning from their first coos to full-blown belly laughs, and it all seems to happen in the blink of an eye. As a mother and a professional photographer, I know just how fleeting these moments are. That’s why I’m passionate about preserving the magic of these milestones through my baby, toddler, and first birthday portrait sessions here in beautiful South Jersey.
Having documented my own children’s lives — from their first birthdays to cake smashes and beyond — I’ve seen firsthand how much joy these memories bring, not just in the moment, but for years to come.

Help me celebrate our anniversary in business! Shhh..... Guess what? Can you keep a secret? Oh, shucks! I bet you can! Tomorrow is my anniversary! Not just any anniversary.. tomorrow is THE day I picked up my camera! This day was the moment I stopped taking photos of landscapes because I fell in love with taking photos of people! Prior to this, I did a lot of landscape work and I would say I was a heavy hobbyist.
