Announcing….SPRING MINI-SESSIONS!

Need ONE fabulous photo of your family? One perfect profile picture? A sweet image for your save-the-date card? One shot of your birthday boy or girl? One super-glam senior portrait without the cheesy blue background?

Well, then…you need a mini-session! On March 25th, I’m hosting a series of mini-sessions. You choose your time, I’ll tell you the super-secret location (it’s in Medford), and you show up ready to rock.

Mini-sessions are the perfect way to capture a few stellar shots or document a milestone. Because of the shortened session time (20 minutes instead of the usual two hours), mini-sessions are only open to groups of three or fewer — check the fine print in the announcement below. Time slots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so call or email today to book your spot!

P.S. The red velvet chair shown above left will be available as a prop. If you love it, wear something that looks fab with red — navy blue, bright pink, teal, etc.

Prequel to the Prequel {Medford NJ Engagement Session}

I love weddings. I suppose that’s a good trait for a wedding photographer to have. But it also means I constantly have to give myself little reminders like, “Don’t cry at the toast!” and “Step away from the hors d’oeuvres!” and “No one wants to see your Usher moves!”

But at Tom and Leah’s wedding, I get to be a guest. Yay! Tom’s my brother-in-law, and Leah’s my almost-sister-in-law, which means my only job at their wedding is not to act like a total Uncle Bob:)I can’t wait. (In fact, I have four weddings in the family this year — I am so going to eat my weight in appetizers.)

Anyway. Tom and Leah needed a couple of photos for their wedding invitations, and their actual engagement session isn’t until the spring, so we set out to get a shot or two. And of course I went overboard and it became sort of a mini-engagement-session. Like an appetizer. These are the cocktail franks to their engagement session!

Okay, I’ll stop the food analogies and get to the photos.

Wardrobe change! Location change!

Okay, things got carried away for a sec…literally…

…And After! {Medford NJ Newborn Photographer}

…okay, and now for the aforementioned newborn sweetness! Meet baby Teagan. We did some lifestyle shots around the house, capturing all her newborn cuteness (and lots of snuggly moments with her super-proud big sister). So hard to choose favorites from this session, but here you go:)

Thanks for letting me photograph your new bundle of joy!:)

Before… {Medford NJ Maternity Photography}

When Andrea emailed me to set up a photo session with her growing family, she mentioned how much she loved the old wooden barn doors at Kirby’s Mill. So, I knew we’d get along swimmingly. She brought along her husband Tim and their adorable two-year-old Elana, and we took advantage of all the cool nooks and crannies at the mill. By the way, she’s eight months along in these images — can you even believe it? Try not to hold it against her:)In all seriousness — I loved this session and every image from it. (And just wait ’til you see the newborn sweetness that followed…)

Into the Woods {Marlton NJ Family Portrait Photographer}

I always love shooting this family, because I’ve known them forever. Give or take a few years. This shoot was extra-fun for two reasons:

1. Three generations came along for the ride, and
2. We shot in the woods where Becky (the middle-generation mama) and I spent approximately 192837917 hours when we were growing up, mostly inventing crazy ghost-romance-stories to torture her little brother (also on board for this shoot).

Here are my favorites of their crew.

(Cayden wasn’t feeling well, but he was a trooper as long as he got some mommy-hugs.)
