The Waugh Family is getting ready to move to my favorite city:  Charleston, South Carolina!   They are a fellow Air Force family and I couldn’t be more excited for them!  We had talked about getting pictures when they moved to Charleston since I often go back but it was so great to get pictures for them to mark their time here in Jersey as well.  I encourage military families to get photographs before they move.  My favorite thing is when Air Force families make small coffee table books of their life in each assignment labeling the books with the title of the city they lived in or the base they were stationed.  I wish I would have started that a long time ago but I definitely plan on doing it from now on.  Little Parker is going to love Charleston!  She has so much exploring to do and she doesn’t even know it yet!  Parker loved exploring on our session and she even asked me to carry her when we were done!  I love that!  There is no denying the love this family has and I wish them all the best at their new assignment!!!

It hasn’t even been two weeks since this session and I’m already blogging her photos.  I am so excited to share her adorable face with all !   Rori’s mom found me via Facebook and I was so excited to meet her and the rest of the family!   Rori slept in the car all the way over to her modeling session with me and when she woke up,  she was all smiles throughout the entire session!   I knew she was going to melt my heart as soon as I saw her and she certainly did.

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.

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!!!!

I moved to Southern New Jersey right before the massive snow dumping last year. I believe we had snow on the ground until April. :) I didn’t even meet my neighbors because everybody hibernated until Spring. So when the snow finally started to melt, we finally enjoyed the outdoors and this ray of sunshine moved in across the street!! Lacey quickly became the friend that I know will be hard to say goodbye to when I move! She’s beautiful, fun, and unbelievably upbeat! I just love people who live life to the fullest and she is definitely one of them! When she asked me for family photos, I knew this was going to be fun and we were so excited to get permission to shoot on this gorgeous horse farm! The sun was going down quick with the time change so we had to hurry but we were able to get some great shots! I had a great session with this gorgeous family and I’m sure this won’t be the last time you see their daughter on my blog. So without further ado, here’s my session with the beautiful Benzing Family! undefinedundefined

A great session just right around the corner from home for this sweet sweet family!  I loved that they brought their dog and he loved having his photo taken!  Their daughter Frankie was so very cute and she gave me lots of expressions!  It was one of the first cold days here and we finished just before the rain hit!!!
