Amelia's 3rd Birthday Party

I absolutely feel honored to be a part of so many of my client’s special events in their lives; from engagements, to weddings, births of their children, and birthdays of their family members.. the list goes on.

Last week we celebrated such a sweet angel Amelia as she turned three years old. Her closest family and friends came to make art, eat sweets and yummy breakfast foods, listen to stories from Anna from Frozen and wish Amelia the best birthday ever.

Her older brother really wanted to blow out her candles. She was quite taken back by Anna’s visit. The crafts the children made were so unique..gave me ideas to recreate for my son. Needless to say, Amelia is a doll and for maybe the first year ever, she really realized this party was ALL FOR HER.

The Artery and The Pop Shop really helped this party come to fruition.

Happy Birthday Amelia!!

Thank you for having me!

A Beautiful Bridal Shower

What an honor it was to photograph this bridal shower event held at a cousin of the bride-to-be’s home in South Jersey. The decor, the food, the mobile bar in the driveway, the cake and the company were all just flawless. The party favor was a portrait sketch done by Denise Fike Designs.

The bride-to-be was gleaming and full of laughter and love.

While slightly warm for this last weekend in September, all fun was had and warm wishes were sent to the beautiful bride in her journey to marriage.

H Family Picnic

It’s hard to describe how it feels to watch families grow. With a handful of my clients, I get to see when the first child turns one, when new babies are born, the celebrations of their birthdays, the gatherings of extended families and the honoring of where their future homes will be. Yes, I said it! The H family had invited me to the grounds that they own and plan to build their forever home together for our session. It gets better.. They decided there’s no better place to have a picnic! Amongst the yummy cheeses, fruit, seeds for the little one (his favorite), delicious warm bread and champagne were giggles, tackles, snuggles, kisses and togetherness.

Back to what I was saying.. it is hard to describe how it feels to watch families grow. It is like I am being invited into the family a handful of times each year, as a spectator or a stand-in auntie and I get to soak in all that love they express! This family is so great at expressing that love and taking life seriously but lightly! Hats off to you H Family. And thank you for having me help freeze these amazing moments in time for you.

Fisher Wedding

Stephanie & JaJa eloped and when planning the later reception asked me to photograph it. Stephanie and I went to high school together; I was thrilled to be a part of their celebration.

Pink lighting, beautiful flowers and fancy jewels covered the ballroom at the Washington where they danced the night away with their family and friends.

The family of four is perfectly paired; Stephanie and Ja's chemistry is hard to deny.

Here is a sneak peak of the day.
