New Jersey Family Photographer | Happy Holidays from Meredith Mascola Photography

I'm not one to write much in this blog section, but today is a special day. Christmas is almost here, and my holiday photo season has come to an end. With that I wanted to say THANK YOU. 

Thank you for sharing your beautiful families with me. Allowing me to witness the love you all have for your children, and each other. Thank you for trusting in me to translate that love in to pictures you will have for years. Memories that will last a lifetime.

It's an honor, and I thank my lucky stars every day that I found something I love to do and that I am ABLE to do as a profession.

So from my family to yours, HAPPY HOLIDAYS and here's to a HEALTHY NEW YEAR!

New Jersey Family Photographer | Holiday Shoot Idea

Last year, after the holidays-I found this fun website with holiday costumes for babies and little children (http://www.costumecraze.com). I shared it with my cousin  and said "I wish I had known about this before we did Jack's shoot"...well needless to say, my cousin promptly purchased 2 costumes for the next holiday photo shoot. Now that her cards have been delivered I wanted to share with you how the "costume shoot"of 2010 turned out. It was a little difficult persuading her son to wear the get-up, but with a little help we were able to get Jack to forget (for a few quick minutes) that he was in this funny suit.

I'm so excited that my cousin donated this outfit, along with a cute felt Santa costume. So if any of you are ever thinking of doing something a little out of the box for your next holiday shoot-let me know. I have some fun items! The featured pictures are the front and "bloopers" backside of Jack's holiday card. Love it!
