I LOVE PEOPLE!!! HAPPY PEOPLE :)

I love making people happy and I love happy people!

Happiness is an essential aspect of life, and it is crucial to our overall well-being and quality of life. There are several reasons why it is important to be happy.

Firstly, being happy helps to improve our physical health. Studies have shown that happy people are less likely to suffer from chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Happiness is also linked to a stronger immune system, lower levels of stress, and a longer lifespan.

Secondly, being happy helps to improve our mental health. Happiness can reduce feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress. It can help us to cope with difficult situations and bounce back from setbacks more quickly. Being happy also helps to improve our relationships with others, as happy people tend to be more open, friendly, and compassionate.

Thirdly, being happy helps us to enjoy life more fully. When we are happy, we are more likely to appreciate the simple pleasures in life, such as spending time with loved ones, enjoying nature, or pursuing our hobbies and interests. Happiness also gives us a sense of purpose and meaning, as we are more likely to pursue activities that bring us joy and fulfillment.

2023 Santa Photo Experience in Haddon Township, New Jersey

2023 Santa Photo Experience in Haddon Township, New Jersey

May 1

Our upcoming 2023 Santa Photo Experience is almost sold out!

Children will be continue to be photographed with Santa this November, 2023 season.

Some of the benefits of this Santa experience include:

Creating a memorable experience: Many families consider taking photos with Santa as a part of their holiday tradition. It can be a fun and exciting experience for children to meet Santa, share their wish lists, and take a photo with him. These photos can be cherished and looked back on for years to come.

Opportunity to capture a moment in time: Children grow up so fast, and the holiday season can be a special time to capture a moment in their childhood. A photo with Santa can serve as a lasting memory of that particular holiday season.

Sharing with friends and family: Photos with Santa can be a fun way to share the holiday spirit with friends and family members who may not be able to celebrate in person. The photos can be shared on social media or included in holiday cards to send to loved ones.

Supporting local businesses: Many photo studios and malls hire Santas during the holiday season. By participating in this tradition, families can support these businesses and help keep the tradition alive.

Photographer-Marketing Tips

I teach photography to all kinds of photographers around the globe. You can be the most talented photographer and creator out there on your skill set, but if you don’t have any business acumen, nor knowledge of how to market or to coordinate a web page, you may find yourself in trouble finding work. I see it so much in our field. Most think the work will bring people in based on talent alone, but that is not the case.
