Meet sweet little Musa. He was 8 days old when I met him for his newborn session. He was such a sweet little guy and was very tolerant of meeting me and having his picture taken. In fact, he was probably the most alert 8 day old I have ever met! He was awake for half our session, but not only was he awake, but he was focusing his big beautiful eyes on me and the camera! We all know with newborns they can only see what’s right in front of them clearly, so the fact that I was standing far above him and snapping away while he focused on me was pretty cool.

I also loved incorporating some lifestyle images in (and of) his nursery. And what a cool nursery it was! Dad painted those blue zig-zag stripes himself.

My son is receiving his First Communion this year! It’s exciting and a big deal and I’ve been getting questions about taking portraits of other children receiving theirs as well. So I decided to offer First Communion Mini’s! It’s a great deal and a great way to capture nice images of this special day. Contact me for more info or to book your session today!

So I wanted to share my current packaging! I’ve always appreciated gifts with nice packaging (and I’m not talking about toy packaging -I hate nothing more than that!), so I’ve tried to make my portrait packaging something that *I* would like to receive. Besides, you’ve made the investment with a portrait photographer and prints, it should be presented nicely, no? 😉

Of course, my packaging tends to change as I get new ideas, but this is a general idea for it. I’m currently waiting on my new business cards and stickers from Moo.com (boy could I go broke on that site!), so once I get those this will change AGAIN. But hey.

Packaging is fun! It’s fluid and can change with every whim I have (which, if you know me, can be a lot). It’s not extravagant, but it’s still pretty.

Since we just can’t stop getting winter weather up here in the Lehigh Valley I’ve been doing everything I can to make the best of it. My kids are over going outside to model for me so I decided to use objects that wouldn’t give me as much back-talk as my darling children. After about 5mins of trying to get pictures of snowflakes I almost preferred the fighting 4yr old and 7yr old. Since I don’t own a proper macro lens (may consider it now though), I pulled out my macro tube extenders. These serve the purpose I have when it comes to macro photography (which is to say, not that much), but they are definitely not the correct medium to use for say, snowflakes. But I didn’t give up. I think my husband was thoroughly enjoying himself watching me mutter and keep trying all day.

Seriously.

All day.

But eventually I did get acceptable images. Not great, but acceptable. And still pretty cool when you think about how TINY these little guys are. 🙂

Two days later we had a nice ice storm which officially made roads an ice skating rink. I went out to take some cool macros of the ice.

Well this little guy is also a repeat from last years mini’s. He also happens to be my nephew. 🙂

Met this little cutie for the first time during my first NJ mini sessions. Isn’t he the cutest? He has such a great smile and a HUGE personality. It was so much fun to photograph him!

Started my Twinkle Lights mini’s in NJ! Twinkle lights are always such a hit and I can totally understand why. The soft circles of light in the background just make the pictures so much more special. Reece was my fist session for Mini’s. This little guys is very special to me because I’ve photographed him a few times already. It’s so much fun to watch clients grow and see how much bigger they’ve gotten.

This was Reece last year.

And this is Reece this year. Such a big change! Such a big boy now. 🙂

Yes, I said it. I’m practicing for Holiday portraits in November. And yes, I realize it’s not even Thanksgiving yet. But the lights in the background have been a favorite of clients in previous years, and this year I wanted to try something a little different. So I quickly dressed my daughter, hung up colored lights, and played around. We’ve done white lights in the past, but never colored. When I found a strand of colored lights I decided we would give it a shot.

The colored lights are really fun! I might even like them more than the white lights!

And now I’m ready for holiday sessions with lights. 🙂

One of the hardest things most photographers deal with is actually getting a full family picture that includes YOU (you know, the actual photographer?). This fall we went to a pumpkin patch with my parents and I was determined to get an updated fall image. In order to do this I have to hand over my camera to my mom and hope for the best. After making all the setting adjustments, and positioning my family, I slowly handed the camera over to my mom. First thing she asks me? “Where do I look, and what button do I push?” OK, so maybe that was two things.

Oh boy.

I explained it (again), ran over to my family and told her to start snapping. She must have taken 25 pictures. She even kept snapping when I got up to go over to her and take my camera back (I have serious camera anxiety when someone else is holding it -all I saw was her dropping it). Talk about snap happy. BUT, she captured a nice image and that was all I could hope for.

Then it was just time for fun at the pumpkin patch!

Nothing is more fun that a maternity session. Beautiful pregnant woman with lovely bellies and that certain glow. This couple is getting ready to celebrate the birth of their first child, which brought an extra little bit of love and excitement to the session. Kim came with lots of ideas for fun things she wanted, so we incorporated her ideas into the session.
