Celebrating one year!

Look at the eyes on this sweet boy! He was a pure pleasure - he changed sooo much since our session last November... Here is your sneak peek Mom since I know you'll be looking for it!!! For those of you who have a session coming up - don't forget your model release or I can't post your sneak peek! Everyone seems to be forgetting them lately :)

A very special family...

One of the nicest families I have ever met - and gorgeous kids to boot!

What I wish for you for your family session....

I think too many times as a photographer I lose 'ME' to cater to what I think my clients want. Don't get me wrong - I want you to get what you want, but in a way that makes us both thrilled. I am not a fan of posed pictures, and if you know me you know that much. Of course the pictures are somewhat posed - I mean you can't just plop a 6 month old down and have him 'do stuff' - lol. But the whole 'everyone look here and smile at the camera' thing - it is just not ME. I wish I could explain to clients what I want them to WANT from their family session. So I asked MY family photographer if I could borrow some of her pics for my blog. When we spoke, I explained to her that I wanted very few posed shots. In my gallery there are a few of us all looking and smiling - of course you want a few of those. But for the most part, I asked her to just capture us doing our thing. I am not going to lie - it was weird being the subject for once (I HATE having my picture taken). But I tried to forget she was there and I did things with my kids that we normally do. My son always grabs me from behind and hugs or jumps on me, my hubby and son always 'punch' before bedtime. Things that I want to remember from this year - moments I will never get back. I am thrilled with my family pictures - they are US. They capture us as we are - and they are PRICELESS to me. These were all taken while I was on vacation with friends in Cape May. If you are from the South Jersey area - look up my photographer! She is wonderful. Her name is Jeanne Kane and her biz is called Photo Essence. Here is her website:

Lake George pictures!

Ok - this is merely to appease my Mom - Hi Mom!!!! I am busy trying to get three client galleries out before I leave for vacation. But I know my mother is dying to see some from our vacation. Lake George was a photographers dream! I just wish my hubby was there with me to help with the kids. I was so busy with everything I barely made enough time to take some pictures. There was a great frog pond near the front of the property. As soon as I saw the kids with their frog nets, it screamed overalls to me! So I went to the Osh Kosh outlet and bought all of the boys a pair. Here are some pics - one of each kid that was there! And check out my beautiful aspiring model cousins too!!! I will be sure to proof the rest of these as soon as I possibly can!

I was beginning to think it would never happen!!!!

But I have e-mail!!!! YAH! I will be updating my site with my contact page. If you tried to e-mail me within the last two weeks, please resend your e-mail. Thank you!!!!

Completely Inspired...

From my workshop this weekend. Not much time to talk, and barely any time to edit, but I pulled a few from my card and here they are. Some of the child models from the workshop. I will be back tomm to update with some recent sessions! Between vacations and workshops and my e-mail not working I have been CRAZY! Hoping to get back on track this week. Oh - but I leave again on Sunday for another 4 day vacation - lol... Try not to miss me too much!

E-mail still down. Sorry for the delays. Looks like at this point I may need to get a new e-mail address. I will update you as soon as I know anything!

Still no e-mail :(

I am so sorry for the delay!!! I am working on it with my new host and Yahoo. Hopefully it will only be another day or so... If you need me feel free to call me!!! Thanks...

Some long awaited Cape May pics.....

Well - the Lake George pics will have to wait a while! And these are the only Cape May pics I have edited (I have a client gallery I need to do before going any further with these!!!). So here they are - the motley crew. We went with three other families - our best friends really. They are truly family to us. Well guys - since you are family you will be waiting a while for your pics - lol! Here are a few to hold you over ;)

E-mail not working!!!!

I am sure it has something to do with the website change, but right now I cannot get any e-mails... If you need to get in touch with me, please call me on my cell - 732-407-3376. I hope to have this figured out asap.

Thanks!!!!

I'm back!!! And exhausted...

It has been a very busy week and a half, and I think I am more tired and stressed than when I left! I have a ton of work I am coming back to so please bear with me over the next week... In the meantime - CHECK OUT MY NEW SITE! And let me know what you think... I am off to bed! Yes, it is only 8, but I am tired and I have two sessions that I need to be ready for in the morning. Here's hoping I wake up with more spring in my step! I will be back tommorrow to update with some fabulous vacation pictures :)
