Yummy little post….

 

When I first moved here, I saw this photo making it’s way around all the photography forums and social media sites that I am on endlessly.  I instantly looked up who actually made this cake and was determined to have this very same cake made for me before I leave here.  I mean, it hasn’t happened yet, but there’s still time if anybody wants to send it to me…The cake was made by Granny Schmidt’s bakery in Emmaus, Pennsylvania !  That’s not too far from me!  Unless someone is REALLY good at cakes, you could make it and I could taste it! :)  It just so happens that I am a Nikon shooter ANNNND this is the same camera that I use !

 

 

 

and if you are feeling less of a challenge….you could always use these awesome cookie cutters !

 

Happy Tuesday!

 

Pinch my screen kind of cuteness { South Jersey Children Photographer }

So I recently had a bundle of sessions and I couldn’t get over how cute my first session was with this little cutie….Six months of pure joy & cheeks to die for!  I just love her adorable outfit from Chicaboo !

Ha ha, she’s even adorable when she cries…….but in her defense she was just trying to show me that she’s a BIG girl & ready to walk!  Get ready for it Mom, I think she’s serious about this walking stuff!

As always Tina, gorgeous! Love those chunky cheeks.

Baby it’s cold outside.

 

 

We got our first snow!!!  I was going to take pictures of it but then it melted before my battery charged up all the way.  Yeah, that was like a dusting compared to last year!  This is my daughter all snuggled up in her winter gear.  The sweater was made by her great grandma who I’m about to take knitting lessons from and I can assure you that my goals are not that high!  LOL.  I am just happy with a little square to go around my cofffee mug. :)  Yes, I’m an overachiever.  No. Not really.  And can we just talk about the size of these amazing marshmellows?  They are vanilla marshmellows from Williams Sonoma.  YUMMMMMMMMM!

Well it’s safe to say, things around here have been all too quiet.  However, I’ve been busy, I promise!  This winter weather is perfect because I am forced to sit inside and get things done that I probably wouldn’t normally do  (like organize my kitchen pantry which I am goobed out about more than a normal person should be) .  I am now learning that 80% of having a photography business is sitting behind a computer working on the business side.  When I first started, I remember sitting behind a computer for hours just trying to edit photos.  Once I started to master my camera more there was a lot less editing and overtime editing was the least of my worries.  I still manage to be a mom and multitask my days away.  I finally set a schedule so I don’t intertwine the two and that took a longgggg time to do.  However, I will say that having both kiddos in school really put that push into a reality.  Sooooo much easier now.    Anyway, I’m one of those who likes to keep moving and unfortunately so does my brain.  So I have been taking this time to brainstorm new ideas and I’m excited to share them!  I’m not going to stop taking pictures but i realized that this year I want to have more fun and see where I can go with this!   I’ve always been creative and I WAASSS nominated Most School Spirited in high school (even though I lost to my sweet friend Kendra, who I never stood a chance against) so when I get excited about things, I kind of get all cheerleader like and say READY, OKAY.  So while the snow might continue falling up here in New Jersey…I will keep on working!  These next few months I’ll be working on getting a new look for this blog (bare with the changes) creating a new blog and playing with my glue gun. :)I have a lot of shoots coming up so be prepared to check out the cutest little ones coming to CWP.

The Lynch Lovelies. – Haddon Heights Family Photographer

I love it when I get referrals and I was so very thankful that a fellow Air Force wife suggested me to this perfectly adorable family in Haddon Heights, New Jersey.  I met them at their beautiful home and instantly felt a sense of warmth and love.  We walked over to a nearby park right near their home.  The sun was shining bright outside and it was a beautiful day for taking photos.  We moved around looking for good spots throughout the park but little Lucas had too much discovering to do!  The vast open space gave him a reason to explore and at 1 years old with a new found walking freedom, who wants to sit still? :)  I wouldn’t want to!   So we watched the kids explore and then headed back to their beautiful backyard.   The kids began to open up even more now that they were in the comfort of their own home.  Even little Lucas sat in his swing with great big smiles while his big sister gave him a few good pushes!   As I left this amazing family session, I realized that I am so blessed to do what I do.  As a mom, I know how important these moments are and I feel so blessed to capture them for others so that they will never be forgotten.

Alberico Family { Fort Dixx Family Photographer }

It was my very first cold session here in New Jersey.  So cold that I wore gloves and everyone was bundled up!  I’m so glad the Alberico family hung in there to get some pictures and who knows, they probably didn’t even think it was as cold as I did. :)  The leaves were so amazing, so vivid, and abundantful.   It was time for the Alberico’s to cherish this fall season because they were just weeks away from moving to good ol’ sunny Florida!  They will be dodging the dropping temperatures and snowy nights that are bound to approach us.  I am super jealous that they get to trade in their  winter attire for flip flops, sun dresses, and shorts!  Nonetheless, I was really excited that they decided to get a few last images of their time together here in New Jersey with me.  The girls literally jumped out of their car to hug me and were so excited to get some photos taken!  I love their energy!   So thankful to have met this sweet family!  I wish you the very best in your new home!!!!
