Baby Anthony - [ New Jersey Newborn Photographer ]

2009-04-13T19:35:00.000-07:00

Meet Baby Anthony. He wasn't the best sleeper...but it was nice to sit around and rock him to sleep and get my baby fix. After that it was cake...and a little pee (on Dad).

This was another fun couple. Poor guy. I kept calling him Brian for some reason and his name is Frank!! DUH! They were so cute! She's all of maybe 5' 2" and he's gotta be 6 feet tall. That always poses a challenge. But a little creative posing and the photos turned out great.

I love the high shadow images. Check out the arms on Frank!

I love this one of Clarisa. This color is amazing on her!

I love Daddies with Tats! -- New Jersey Newborn Photographer

2009-02-03T08:21:00.000-08:00

I love it when I get a dad with big tattoos who's willing to take his shirt off. Here is a just one of those guys with Daddy's Little Girl.

And one of baby and mommy. Love the way baby is just hanging off of her. This little girl was so good!

And I think she really liked sleeping in the basket!

This family is part of my Stork Club so I look forward to more sessions with them.
And as a side note...Daddy is overseas serving our country (A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU!). He came home for the birth of his little girl which gave me the opportunity to photograph them together.

This is just the cutest couple and they are having a little miracle baby! It was a pleasure to photograph them and be a part of their miracle.

Can you say ROCKSTAR? / New Jersey Child Photographer

2008-11-22T22:22:00.001-08:00

I NEVER post photos of my own kids. And since I'm always shooting for work, I sometimes get lazy about photographing my own kids in every day life. Not a sporting event, or a birthday...but just their regular every day lives.

So, the BIG thing this year has been Guitar Hero. I bought it a few months ago and it was supposed to be a Christmas gift. But after I tried it, I thought it would be way to hard for them. So I just gave it to them. (Besides, I was totally hooked and I was tired of playing at night and then hiding it so they wouldn't see it.)

Well, I was SOOO wrong! We already knew that our middle one was a total rockstar on drums. He drums anywhere, everywhere all day long. But he's PHENOMENAL at Guitar Hero! Granted, I know it's not a real guitar but it's really hard and he's totally awesome!!! And he get's so into it! Well, you'll see what I mean when you look at these pics. I can't wait 'till Christmas when he opens up Rock Band II and sees the drums!!!

Oh, and while the little guy isn't as good because he's fingers are too small, he does pretty well himself. And he's only 4!

What can I say...my kids are TOTAL ROCKSTARS. Yeah, Mommy likes to brag.

My favorite

So focused!

Rockin' out the solo on When You Were Young.

Little guy getting in on the action on his little electric guitar while the other one plays drums on a stool. I told you, he'll play on anything.

Check out the face he makes when he drums. Totally into it.

Oh, and yes my little ones both have faux hawks. Not my idea. They begged. What do you expect when their idols are Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine and Travis Barker?!

Tiffany in LBI / New Jersey Portrait Photographer

2008-11-15T12:46:00.000-08:00

This was a fun session. Just me, Tiffany, the beach and a camera. Tiffany is about to graduate from college and wanted to treat herself to some photos to commemorate this really special time in her life. I love the way the photos turned out as did Tiffany.

This is my favorite. She looks like a model.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Pittsburgh Steelers / New Jersey Event Photographer

2008-10-08T14:24:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I get to do really cool shoots. I had the opportunity to do some staff photos for the security team at Lincoln Financial Field. My very cool client got me a credential that allowed me out on the field during the game!! So I got some really cool shots. Granted, I don't have the required lenses for sports photography...but I made due. Thanks JP!!

My favorite one.

I think those were the only ones where Rothlisberger didn't have his face in the dirt. Sorry Steelers fans...but it's true.

Westbrook was injured early on.

Love this one. Have no clue who this is but he scored a touchdown. (Can you tell I don't follow football??)

Ok, I know who this is...and I was like 2 feet away from him. Pretty cool.

South Jersey Maternity Photography - New Jersey Maternity Photographer

2008-08-26T07:27:00.001-07:00

This is one of my favorite families to photograph. Meet Kim, Glenn and Glenn Jr. I did Kim's maternity photos way back when and Baby Glenn's newborn photos. For those of you who've been to the studio, he's the gorgeous little baby in the blue baby coffee
table book on display.

Well Kim is expecting again so we had to do family maternity photos to commemorate this special time. I headed out to their house and used the yard this time since the last photos were a studio set up. I wanted to give them something different this time and their yard was the perfect setting.

Looking forward to the new baby's newborn session!

Getting this shot was a struggle. But some cheerios did the trick!

Daddy is a firefighter so we had to do one of these.

Baby Glenn has one of these in his room so we had to do a girl version for his sister.

Thanks again guys and I can't wait to meet the new baby!

Riverton Country Club Wedding - Riverton, NJ / New Jersey Wedding Photographer

2008-08-12T14:04:00.000-07:00

I shoot a lot of weddings. I'd like to say they are all fun. But some weddings just take the cake (no pun intended). Meet Brian and Rebecca. First of all, I should be so lucky to get a bride this drop dead gorgeous with amazing style...but then to get to capture one of the most fun receptions I've ever been to...that the icing. Ok, that pun was totally intended. Scroll down and you'll see what I mean.

You can view the entire slideshow here.

I said she was gorgeous, right?

The hotel had these great hallways that I had to put to good use. And the lighting in the church as amazing.

The church was a photographer's dream. Here is the bride making her grand entrance with her father. And posing with her groom.

Two of my favorites. Gotta love the Converse!

The girls

The guys

She also has beautiful hands

And away we go to the reception. Bride's mom & dad

Rebecca's family is from Texas so the TX flags were abundant!

How low can you go?!

Conga line anyone?

The guys were partying it up. Particularly THIS guy.

The girls were not about to be outdone.

BUT...the absolute most fun had to be had by the Rebecca and Brian's DAD'S!!! Yep, that's the on the floor.

Congratulations you guys and thanks for letting me capture such fun event!!

I LOVE TWILIGHT!!!!

2008-07-28T12:04:00.000-07:00

Ok, I never post personal stuff so let this be my first. Thanks to my closest friend Michelle, I have become OBSESSED with the Twilight saga by Stephanie Meyer. If you are a female (I don't care what age) and you haven't read this series...GO BUY IT! Don't be intimidated by it's thickness. You won't be able to put it/them down and you'll get through them very fast. I promise! I am 100% "dazzled" by Edward Cullen and my heart breaks for Jacob. Those of you who are fans know exactly what I'm talking about.

Anyway...just had to post about it. Now if any of the guys in my photos turn out look extra pale with sparkly honey colored eyes...you'll know why.

Friday at midnight you'll find me at Barnes & Nobel in Marlton at the release party of the 4th and final (sniff, sob) book. And on December 12th I will be watching the movie with a box of tissues and an inhaler.

Stone Harbor Wedding - June 7, 2008 / NJ Wedding Photographer

2008-06-23T16:31:00.001-07:00

Wow! This day was a SCORCHER!!! Luckily, I was down in Stone Harbor shooting this
beautiful beach side wedding.

Click here to view the full slideshow.
For PC users only.

Meet Dan & Marissa. They live cross country but had their wedding near her parents' beach house in Stone Harbor, NJ. The event was beautiful to say the least. Having been married on the beach myself, I'm partial to beach weddings.

Marissa wore one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever had the
pleasure of photographing. And a size TWO I might add!
The dress was a Monique Lhuillier design from Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier, New York, NY

The shoes...what else but Manolo Blahnik?

Mr. & Mrs. Grimes' beach house set the stage for some pre ceremony formals.

They cleverly provided flipflops for guests so they could kick
off their shoes before walking onto the beach.
One of my favs.
Stunning bouquets provided by Barbara's Sea Shell Florist of Villas, NJ.
Claude's Restaurant kept tummies and glasses full all night.

Music was provided by Electric Entertainment of Ardmore, PA who kept everyone
young and old dancing the night away.
Thank you for allowing me to photograph this beautiful event!

I've really been slacking on updating the blog.

So over the next few days I will try to get it caught up.

This is one of my recent portrait sessions. These little girls were SO WELL BEHAVED! An absolute pleasure to work with ... and very angelic as you can see!

In Memory Of Baby Ryan / New Jersey Photographer

2008-05-02T10:55:00.000-07:00

As some of you may know, I belong to 2 organizations which provides photography free of charge for families with sick babies and babies who are stillborn. Through one of the families that I did work for I met this very special family. Their youngest of 4 boys, Ryan, was sick most of his short life. In September he was officially diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease. His health declined quickly. I was scheduled to do a shoot for the family months ago but we had to reschedule. I finally had the opportunity to photograph him and his family last Friday, April 25th. Not a week later, little Ryan passed away on May 1, 2008 at 7:20pm.

My heart goes out to this family. My boys are around the same age as Danielle's (Ryan's mommy) and I can't even begin to imagine what this is like for her, her husband and Ryan's 3 brothers. My heart is truly broken for them.

This work is not easy. Especially because I have kids. But I know it's important for these families to have these photos to remember their little angels. If you know anyone who has this need, please refer them to www.nilmdts.org or www.acpcg.com There is a small army of us professional photographers around the country who offer this service.

Pretty Brown Eyes

2008-04-07T19:12:00.000-07:00

How cute is this little man?? Mom and Dad (and Tia too) drove all the way down from Hackensack to see me and I'm so glad they did!!
He has the most beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen and those
amazing cheeks!!! And people wonder why I like baby photography.

Photographing kids this age is tough because they
crawl away every chance they get. Or they try to eat everything in
the studio! But I didn't mind when this little gem crawled away from the backdrop
because he kept crawling over to me and it gave me
a chance to squeeze those chubby cheeks!

Here's my little Cuban wonder.
Ok, so he's not 100% Cuban...but we'll forgive Daddy for that.

Only kept the hat on for about a minute but I managed to swing this one.
Had to do something artsy with it.

Lucky me. I always get beautiful families!

And the traditional Cuban portrait for Abuela.

3 Days Young

2008-04-03T21:04:00.001-07:00

I just wanted to update this post because Mom gave me
permission to share this little baby's story.
Little Gabriel is an amazing gift that was bestowed upon
his parents by (ok, try and follow me here)...his Dad's best friend's wife.
She was a surrogate and carried this beautiful little baby
for the parents! How cool is that?!
Furthermore, Mom and Dad live across the country!
Lucky for me, Surrogate Mommy lives near me
so Mom and Dad brought him in just 3 days new to
be photographed.

This is my new favorite newborn...
Gabriel.

I've done this pose before but this one is my fav because Mom & Dad's hands look like petals around the baby.

Don't know if moms come any more beautiful than this.

Thank you guys for letting me capture Gabriel in all his newness! And it's a good thing we photographed him so little because judging by his hands and feet, he's going to be a giant!

The Linc Engagement Session

2008-04-03T21:03:00.001-07:00

In this line of work, I sometimes get to shoot in really cool locations. I recently had the opportunity to do just that.

Meet J.P. and Susan. They will be getting married at The Mansion in May. They both work at Lincoln Financial Field aka"The Linc" so we got access to have the place to ourselves on a very cold and windy February day. I'd never been to The Linc so this was a real treat for me and I got the grand tour!

We even got a little snow. Only about 5 minutes of it but it made for a cool photo.

Love this wall! Full of huge photos of the stadium and the conference championship. Not to mention the amazing light the comes in from the floor to ceiling windows.

This area is in the lobby and has glass partitions with the history of the team.

This is one of the several lounges...which is where I would hang out during a game...staying warm! This one had a very cool pool table and fireplace.

Thanks for the tour guys. It was amazing and I think I lost 5 pounds walking around that day!! Really looking forward to the wedding!!

And The Winner Is...

Philadelphia Engagement Session

2008-04-03T21:00:00.000-07:00

This was a really fun session for me. Meet Aaron and Caroline who will be getting married in the fall the Laurel Creek Country Club. They wanted a Philadelphia shoot so we started the session at Independence Hall. The red brick, beautiful park and the awesome doorways made for great backdrops.

This is actually the entrance to the library.
I LOVE the cobble stone on the side streets of the park!

How cute are they! So easy to photograph!

We decided to walk over to Love Park. We never made it because we totally went in the wrong direction...but along the way we found some random building with these awesome wood carved doors!

I wanted to find this very cool mosaic wall I had seen somewhere. But all I knew was that it was on South Street. So we walked and walked and walked...and FINALLY decided to ask someone. Little did we know it was the famous Magic Gardens. I had never heard of it. Glad we made the effort because we burned some calories and found this amazing place!
This was a really fun shoot and I'm really looking forward to shooting the wedding!
Thanks guys!

Nick & Claudia's Wedding

2008-04-03T20:58:00.000-07:00

This is Nick & Claudia's wedding which was in September '07. It was held a The Primavera in Sterling, NJ. Claudia's gown was a GORGEOUS Vera Wang.

And she looked stunning in it!

Nick seemed ok before the ceremony. Here his is with the boys.

But he fell apart once he saw her coming down the aisle. I've shot a lot of weddings and this is the best reaction I've ever seen!

Who could ask for a more beautiful bride?

The girls striking a pose. Enrique had a great idea to throw some petals at them. Thanks Enrique! You gave me a great shot!

They had beautiful details.

The flowers by House Of Flowers in Linden were amazing as were their very sleek invites.Jimmy Ponzio kept the party going all night with his awesome sounds and light effect.

And one of my personal favorites of the night. Gave it a little antique look.

Thanks Nick and Claudia for allowing me to capture this very special day!

2008-04-03T20:57:00.000-07:00

Here was another awesome engagement session. This is Kristin and Nicholas. We had a great time on an unseasonably warm October day in Love Park in Philly. This couple is so cute!! Their chemistry made for some great shots. I can't wait for the wedding which will take place at The Mansion!

Long Branch Engagement Session

2008-04-03T20:53:00.000-07:00

I wanted to kick this blog off with one of my favorite engagement sessions of the year. This is Veronica and Rodney. We did their session in Long Branch. I hadn't been there since I was about 8 years old and I was so glad they picked this location. It was really beautiful and had some great backdrops. Veronica and Rodney were so natural that it really made my job easy.

We went over to Pier Village for a couple of shots and had some lunch.

Not sure what their wedding plans are yet, but I hope they give me a call. * wink *wink*
