booking fall sessions now | short hills, nj lifestyle photographer

Just a friendly reminder that I'm in the midst of booking and shooting fall 2015 sessions.  If you'd like to get on my calendar give me a shout and we can make some photo magic!  Looking back on my poor neglected blog I see I've barely been showing any family client sessions.  Here are some cute brothers I shot this summer that I thought I'd start with.  

the scout guide is out!

A good part of 2014 was spent working with Heather Cundey, editor of The Scout Guide - Northern New Jersey, to create Volume 1 of The Scout Guide, Northern NJ.  Each photo shoot we did of the business owners, entrepreneurs and artisans was unique and special.  Below are some of my favorite spreads.

The guide will be available in shops and businesses through the Northern NJ area.  In the meantime I would love to give away some copies of the book.  Comment below with your name and email and I will follow up with you.  

Special thanks to Heather Cundey (editor), Felicia Geller (Stylist) and Helaine Winer (Social Media) for being an great team to work with.

presenting ... merry merry minis

Once again the ladies from Murray & Finn and I are teaming up to do two days of holiday "Merry Merry Minis" at the fabulous Murray & Finn in Summit, NJ.  Join us for a 15 minute holiday mini session in front of their beautifully decorated "holiday wall".  Even though you might already have your holiday card photos crossed off your list, remember these little sessions make for some wonderful holiday gifts.  Can't think of anything to get for your husband or the grandparents?  Then think no further and book a session.  I will be there for two days:

Fall Schedule + Mini Session Update

Summer is more then half way through and for a family photographer that means Fall (aka busy season) is almost upon us.  I wanted to let all of my clients know that if you are thinking about a family session before the holiday season, then we should get you on the books now.  My Fall weekends are already booking up.  

This fall I will only be doing one day of mini-sessions and they will be held on Saturday, September 27th (rain date Sunday, September 28th).  They will take place in a park close to Chatham/Madison and there are only 6 spots.   Email me if you would like more information or to book one.

I'm also pleased to be working with the lovely Summit children's boutique, Murrary & Finn once again. We are going to be holding "Back to School" portrait sessions on Friday, September 5th.  These sessions are designed for one child in 15 minute increments.  If you have 2-3 children then please book two sessions back to back.  For more information and to book online click here:
