New Jersey Family Photographer | Backyard Shoot

April 18, 2021 in home, holiday, lifestyle portraiture, Photography Tips, seniors

Another “at-home” family portrait session to help inspire your next photoshoot.

The premise was “Home for the Holidays.” The goal behind the pictures was to create a unique holiday card base on the “Home for the Holidays” idea but also not making the pictures feel set in holiday mode. This way we kill two birds with one stone: we get the card done but we can also display classically timeless family portraits that translate year round. Not just during the holidays. When I did this session, we were in the middle of the pandemic- it was summer 2020. So the meaning behind HOME was so much more. This was where they spent the majority of their time. When they look back on these pictures, they will see exactly where they were at that time and feel the love.

New Jersey Family Photography | Senior portrait session at the lake

May 01, 2019 in beach, Photography Tips, seniors

Here is a little “lake life” senior portrait session idea for you. When we booked the shoot, my client said she’d love to stay close to home so the pictures reflected where her son grew up. Doing it n their backyard seemed like a no-brainer. The lake and the docks are the obvious places to use for a background- so we did. But I also wanted to have fun with the colorful kayaks that were being stored on the shoreline. When you head to your next photoshoot location, make sure you spend a few minutes walking around. See what catches your eye. You may not want to show the entire THING but little pops of color and texture can really elevate the images.

New Jersey Family Photographer | senior portrait

I officially have a new favorite "genre" to photograph. Its called senior portraits and its way fun. I met up with Carly tonight at the arboretum for her pictures. She was such a sweet heart and so easy to work with. She was my first ever senior to photograph and I must say, she made it utterly amazing. I am beyond excited to share these selections with you. I hope you enjoy!
