Puppy Love...

Need I say more?

I'm loving outdoor sessions...

I loved this session...so fun and so great to be outdoors this time of year! You might recognize this little guy from previous posts...I've been working with him since he was just a little baby.

This sleepy little baby was only 7 days old and so yummy! I'm in newborn heaven!

Newborn Love

What a lucky girl to have all of that beautiful hair! Meet Baby B, whose big brother I also had the pleasure of photographing 18 months ago.

So Excited!

My blog and Facebook page have been seriously neglected this year, but I have a good excuse. I've been very busy working on my Professional Photographer Certification which required me to accumulate enough experience and education to pass a technical written exam as well as a rigorous process of portfolio review conducted by a panel of some of the most accomplished photographers in the industry. The Professional Photographic Certification Commission has awarded certification to fewer than 2,000 photographers worldwide. I have always loved photography, but felt that it was important to demonstrate proficient technical knowledge and creativity. As of today, I have achieved that goal and been awarded the designation of Certified Professional Photographer.

I am so fortunate to be part of a community of professionals who are unbelievably generous in sharing their time and talent to provide continuing education and support to other photographers...so much of what I have learned along the way has been the result of other photographers sharing their knowledge with me.

Well, now I can take a deep breath and get ready for a busy fall schedule...I have some really fun sessions to look forward to! I'm also going to try to catch up on my blogging over the next few days, so check back for some special sales and some very cute photos!

Spring Baby Shower Bash Event

I am so happy to sponsor this event, I can't wait! I only wish I had an opportunity to attend something like this when I had newborns...sounds like so much fun and pampering!

New Moms and Moms-to-Be, don't miss the Spring Baby Shower Bash taking place on the evening of June 9 in Springfield, NJ. Hosted by Westfield Moms Town and Tea Time and Tiaras and sponsored by many local businesses, it's the place to be to get discounts to local boutiques, giveaways, mini spa treatments, yummy desserts, and to get a chance to meet local business owners (like me!) who have the latest and greatest Mom and Baby treats! AND the best news of all is that one of the sponsors has agreed to pay for all of the admission tickets, so admission to the event now is absolutely FREE to attendees!

Don't miss the chance to win a FREE PHOTO SESSION and 8x10 PRINT from me that evening along with other sponsors' raffle prizes.

Cranford Dance Academy Update

I had such a great time at the Cranford Dance Academy over the past few weeks! Thank you to all of the parents whose children participated in the event. We have sooo many photographs for you to look over, and many of you have asked for some extra time for that.

So, here's some good news: I'm extending the Event Pricing until April 15 so that those of you whose children were absent on the day the passwords were given out, and those of you who are going on vacation next week for Spring Break, will have enough time to make your photo choices.
