Bergen County, New Jersey Communion Photographer

God Bless Maddie on her First Holy Communion!  I had so much fun capturing this special occasion, and doesn't she just look stunning?  Maddie is an amazing dancer and of course we had to incorporate just a few ballet slipper shots for fun:)   If I can showcase the beautiful, fun-loving, carefree, and just-a-bit goofy personalities of my clients, then I have done my job well!    Maddie was just perfection!  

Long Branch, NJ 2017 Family Photo Shoot with Jessica Justin Photography

“Meet me where the sky touches the sea. Wait for me where the world begins. ”
— Jennifer Donnelly

Love is evident in the looks, the smiles, the laughter, and the subtle touches all around.  So lucky I get to tell these stories.

New Jersey Communion Photographer, Verona Park

 

Malia did not only look absolutely gorgeous in her Communion dress,  but oh what a trooper! 

Don't let the stunning blue skies and bight sun deceive you-this pretty April day in Verona Park, NJ was FREEZING.  In fact, as we walked by the lake we actually got sprayed!  

I don't know about you, but can't you just see her 20 years from now looking just as gorgeous in her wedding dress!!!  But Let's not rush time... 

Can you even pick a favorite?

The Big Apple Shoot Out~Part One, Farm Life...

They say..."To be a photographer, we must PHOTOGRAPH.  No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the SIMPLE ACT of MAKING PICTURES.  Experience is the best teacher of all.  All for that, there is is no guarantee that one will become an artist ONLY the Journey Matters."  ~Harry Callahan  
This quote resonates with me.  I am the forever student...always seeking, always learning, always watching everything I can get my hands on!  This can only get you so far...Photography is different.  Action is important.  I need to TAKE the pictures, not just READ about it!  This shoot was a combination of both.  Surrounding myself with talented photographers in a creative stylized photo shoot was both "learning and doing" from some of the best out there.  What a fantastic journey!  This was "Day One" of our hands-on shoot out....more to come--80's style!!!  Thanks so much to Stephanie from Lemmonmade Photography and Mila from Mila Wells Photography for this amazing opportunity!

New Jersey Family Photographer, September Photo Shoot in Morristown

Beautiful cool and crisp September weather, happy kids, adorable fall outfits, and the perfect sunset!  Who could ask for more?  LOVE these guys and so happy they asked me to capture their beautiful family.   Enjoy the Gallery! 

Fair Haven, New Jersey Family Photographer

This photo shoot was very special to me.  This beautiful mom is like a sister to me and we have been best friends since elementary school.  When she decided to move over an hour away, I was definitely sad, but why?  Distance only makes the heart grow fonder, right?  After being there for each other during so many of life's special moments, it was only fitting to document the start of their new lives.   So honored to be able to capture their love for one another...
