Hallowell family session at Ocean City, Maryland

Family

Meet Jenn, Brad, Jenna, and Emily! They’re a spunky bunch I had the pure pleasure of photographing down at Ocean City, Maryland just the other week.

Jenn and I had been working on arranging this session forever and it finally all came together on one of the last weekends of the summer and the weather was just perfect. A great big “take that!” to the rain that would have ruined what we originally had lined up for the next day.

Jenna and Emily were perfectly sunkissed. I guess that’s what happens when you actually get to live at the beach. How lucky!

Now while you’re sipping your hot cider in 50 degree weather, come to the beach with us and relive our sandy fun!




Jenna, everyone. Everyone, Jenna! Jenna is 8 years old, plays soccer, likes pizza, and wants to be a model when she grows up. Or a waitress. Or maybe something else. There’s a lot to consider when you’re 8; you certainly can’t tie yourself down to a career at this point.



And this is Emily! Emily is 5 years old, she likes ice cream and SpongeBob (especially at the same time) and also likes pizza and soccer.



Together, they’re sisters. Goofing off. Playing house. Splashing in the waves. Making faces. Hamming it up. And having the best time in the world.







Jenn and Brad are also important. They’re good for rides, dinner, and excursions to the boardwalk. Oh, and love and affection and tickles too.





I had a blast with you four! Thanks so much for spending and evening on the beach with me (and for the pizza too!).

Families are like fudge – mostly sweet with a few nuts.

mother and wide awake newborn baby girl
New Jersey Newborn Photographer | Mt. Laurel Home | Harper
Little Miss Harper Laine stayed wide awake for practically our entire session at her home in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey last week.  I get it; when literally everything is new and you’re the star of a photoshoot, you want to hang out and see all that there is to see (within 6 inches of your face). This isn’t to say that she was upset.  Not in the least.  Harper was pleasant while I was there, showing off her gorgeous Pinterest-worthy nursery (teepee, DIY flower mobile, the softest color palette) and a few questionable/fashionable headpieces. New mom, Jeanette, looks fabulous whenever I see her.  She’s a total workaholic and this was ...

[what to wear] family sessions
Stumped, huh? How on earth do you reconcile all of those personalities into pleasing pictures? Well, it's not so hard.Sometime in the 90s it was decided that people should all wear white shirts and jeans or khakis for family pictures. Set yourself free from that idea right now! You don't want to dress all in the same exact outfit and look like the Von Trapp family or a soccer team. You're each unique individuals so wouldn't you want that to come out in your pictures? You want to go for complimentary, not mirror, looks.Here are some tips:* Take the location and season into account. That sundress may be cute as can be but it's just not g ...
