Hello, Spring! New Jersey Portrait Photographer

We are so lucky, because seriously – we get to have photoshoots with the cutest kids ever. No, really. Other photographers may brag that they have the cutest clients – but there is no way that’s possible.
We took a trip to Spring Lake last week to get some shots of this super ridiculously adorable family. It was windy (AGAIN! Where are you, Spring?!) so we were once again forced a bit inland of where we initially intended to do the shoot. Once again, we probably could’ve done this shoot in a junkyard, and still gotten adorable photos – because when you’ve got this much cute to work with, it doesn’t matter where you’re set up!

Happy Easter: New Jersey Family Photographer

We have been very busy lately, hence a lack of posts. However – in order to catch up, we have quite a bit of posting to do!
We’ll rewind a bit back to Easter so that we can share this super adorable Easter themed shoot. While we had originally planned to shoot in Ocean Gate – the unspring-like (probably not a word) temperatures forced us a bit further inland. This little one was going to look cute no matter the circumstances, so it really didn’t matter where we were!

Merry Christmas! New Jersey Portrait Photographer

A day late and a several dollars short – Merry Christmas to everyone!

What better way to celebrate Christmas than with several adorable baby photos? Danielle and I worked together several years ago, and when she asked me to come over and take some pictures of her adorable new addition I couldn’t resist! Once Ray and I got there, we were informed of the double surprise that she had also gotten engaged the night before (so of course we had to do some ring shots).

Enjoy!

 

Feathered Friends

I think I might have spoken in an earlier post, about how I love the time of year when baby ducks and geese starting running around. If I haven’t mentioned it before – I absolutely love it when this happens. I try not to be too intrusive, but I love seeing the little ones running around and being all fluffy and adorable with themselves. I had a chance to take a couple of snaps of some fuzzy little goslings this weekend, so I’d like to pass along the cute.

I kind of had to shoot through a fence, so I was impressed that I held steady for a couple shots.

Here’s another cute little fellow, in keeping with my avian theme.

A Shot in the Dark

I recently made an investment in a new lens for portraiture with a super low aperture.  I’ve been taking quite a few photos with it, so I want to share a couple. For the record – the ones I shared yesterday from the parade were taken with that camera. Though I feel that these photos show off the capabilities far better. Well the first one does.

This was really the first photo where I successfully used the clone tool in Adobe Cs5 for something useful. There was an obnoxious construction sign on the top of the bridge that I effectively removed – thus rendering the finished image cleaner and nicer. I am really quite proud of myself since Adobe Cs5 scares the crap out of me.

This is Topaz. She is my 14 year old mini schnauzer, and effectively the love of my life. She’s always there when I need her, and she’s always happy to see me. She doesn’t like posing for photos, and she really doesn’t like flash. Luckily with the new lens, the aperture can fly wide open even in low light conditions and maintain a sharp shutter speed. She didn’t mind that I was snapping away at her this morning. Well. She minded a little. But she cooperated. This is her thinking pose.
