Rachel and Annie | Best Friends Session | South Jersey Photography

I can’t believe I forgot to blog this session, because I LOVED this idea. A few months ago, Rachel emailed me and said that her friend Annie’s birthday was coming up, and she thought it would be fun to book her a mini-session to fill her zillion picture frames. I thought that was such a unique idea for a present — a besties session. Can we please make this a new trend in photography? Because it was so much fun to shoot.

Psst….you might remember the clover photo above from this tutorial I wrote for I Heart Faces on removing green color casts from images.

P.S. Since I’m always squawking about safety and Rachel is an enviro-champ, I want to assure you all that we spent about 15 minutes after this last shot crawling around on the ground, plucking Silly String out of the clover until we were sure that every speck was gone. Leave nothing but footprints, etc, etc.

Thanks Rachel, for coming up with this fun idea!

The L Family | LBI Beach Photographer | Jersey Shore Family Portraits

When I photographed the L family last summer, it was a cloudy, drizzly day. This year, we got the exact opposite — blazing sunshine! It was great seeing how the kids have grown in a year — and getting to capture a completely different set of images. Here are a few favorites.

So, do you think Max likes the beach…?

See that wave behind Lily? Neither did we. That necessitated a wardrobe change

…and finally, the people responsible for it all

Thanks, L family! Hope to see you again next summer!

The K Family | South Jersey Family Portrait Photographer

I always allow plenty of time at my sessions, so kids can warm up to the hyperactive stranger with the giant black camera around her neck (that would be me!). But I swear it took us about three seconds to have a gallery’s worth of images from the K family. Lila and Luka were pros — okay, not technically, but they should be. And they brought along their photogenic parents, tooHere are a few favorites from their session…

I just love the light in these…

Thanks K family!

All Boy | I Heart Faces Photo Challenge

I love the I Heart Faces photo challenges, and this theme hits home for me — with two toddler boys running around, my house is ALL BOY, all the time!

There’s something about this photo that makes me laugh every time I see it. I think it’s the way my boys look like they’re patrollin’ the mean streets, even if they’re just playing in our backyard in the woods. And those wiffle ball bats? They’re not for playing t-ball — they are STRICTLY used for banging on our metal bilco doors as loudly as possible.
