Having An Assistant Has Been A BLESSING!
As my newer clients, within the last few weeks, have probably noticed or may have personally met.. There is a new face among the Shooting Star South Jersey Photographer... and this person would be good ol' mom!!!! She has been my wisdom, my strength, my helper and sidekick this past month and without her, I honestly could not have gotten through all the chaos! I still have a ton of albums to edit, but it's been rather difficult to knock out a lot of it since I have been going practically straight through these past 60 days!When I tell folks that I'm busy, I really am busy! I have the calendar filled up for the remaining of the year with a small break for a workshop and then I am planning ahead for 2016.

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.

Fall Photography Editing Secrets
As the vibrant colors of fall foliage create a stunning backdrop, capturing the essence of autumn through photography is a treat for both photographers and viewers. The key to showcasing the beauty of this season lies not only in capturing exceptional photos but also in the art of post-processing. Here are some editing tips and secrets to elevate your fall photography:
Enhance Colors
Hue/Saturation Adjustments: Use selective adjustments to enhance the warmth of red, orange, and yellow tones, making the foliage pop against the cooler fall backdrop.
White Balance: Fine-tune the white balance to accentuate the golden and earthy tones, imbuing your images with a cozy autumn feel.
