The Cutest Family Photos


Throwing it wayyy back to the days when I lived by the NJ seaside. Ahhhh! Dreaming about those warm summer days… 

There’s a story I always tell about Historic Smithville NJ. One of my favorite artists is Georgia O’Keeffe. I once read that God told her if she painted Cerro Pedernal enough, he’d let her have that flat topped mountain in New Mexico. That is what I always thought about Smithville New Jersey. I had photographed so many families there, that I felt like God would let it be mine. I love that thought and that story. 

Every winter here in South Jersey, I crave to find an indoor studio space. What I miss the most about my Swedesboro NJ studio, is having a place to do warm, cozy indoor photo sessions while mother nature is still freezing our outdoor photography dreams. And last week that dang groundhog just claimed 6 more weeks of winter ughhh! I will say though, it makes me more imaginative to find warm places that work when weather isn’t ideal. This morning I spent a few minutes on Pinterest dreaming…. I am ready to pick up my camera, how can I help you make some magic?
