{I Heart Faces} "Smiles"

This week's challenge over at I Heart Faces is "Smiles". I took the untraditional route and decided to enter a photo of an animal., rather than a human. Why? Because its not often you see animals smile & this picture puts a smile on my face every time I look at it.



I hope this photo puts a smile on your face as well... :)




Head on over to I ♥ Faces (www.iheartfaces.com) to see some more smiles for this week's challenge!

{Pet Photography} Sweet Nelson

This is Nelson (a German Shepherd/Corgi Mix). He's up for adoption and is looking for some love, a belly rub and a forever home. If you live in the Northern NJ area (or no someone that does) and you're interested in learning more about this sweet guy please click here: www.petfinder.com/petdetail/16027899


Please adopt me!




I'm a handome fella




I may be 9 years old, but I am still a playful guy...




Check out that tongue...




No, really. Check it out!

Isn't it just one of the cutest(and longest!) doggy tongues you've ever seen?!

{Child Photography} Beauty Queen & LIttle Miss Personality

I had the pleasure of photographing these two gorgeous sisters the other day. Big sis is a Pageant Queen (Miss New Jersey Junior Pre-Teen) and needed some photos done for a program booklet. And, of course, it was only right to let her little sister in on the action. She is full of personality and should have her own tv show! What a fun shoot!

There's only one thing to do when I want to try out a new seamless paper color & a new prop...bribe Shelby to be in some pictures :)



(I found that old chair for $70 at a thrift store and fell in love with it the second I saw it! I think it will really work great for wedding & engagement shoots)












I put a few more photos that aren't on here on my Facebook Photography Page so click on over there if you want to see them.

{Portraits} Locations Galore!

I got together with a friend/co-worker last week for a photoshoot. We've been talking about setting up a shoot for quite a while and I guess now was as good a time as ever. Trouble was, that at first, I had the hardest time coming up with a good location (or two) for this shoot. Then I remembered "my list". Whenever I see a location I think will work well for an up-coming or future photoshoot I always try to write it down so I have some ideas handy when I need them. So, a couple of these places I had jotted down on my list and the other, a beautiful arboretum, I had found on line. So we basically spent the day driving around NJ and having a total blast :)


Here are a couple of faves from the shoot.
