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!

The family’s energy, combined with the charm of the Jersey Shore, created a day filled with laughter and unforgettable moments.
