Photography: Sister Session, Erin + Casey Sneak Peak

Tomorrow I'll be posting the awesome styled bridal session I put together with my friend Erin for my portfolio! I can't wait for you all to see the pictures! We're going to put together another one again soon, just 'cause they're fun! (Seriously, girls never get too old to play dress up!)

Tonight I wanted to give you a sneak peak at a session I did on Sunday evening. My cousins, Erin and Casey, were over and they needed some new portraits so we went to the little spot behind my house.

Photography: Styled Bridal Sneak Peak

Good morning everyone! It's a very rainy morning here in NJ. I wanted to give you a sneak peak of a shoot I'll be showing you all later this week. Last Thursday my friend Erin was my model and I completely styled her (that means I did her hair, makeup, got her the dress, and all!) for a stylized bridal portrait session. We had a blast shooting her session!

Tonight my Mom asked if I would help her at a bridal show, so I'll be doing that later today. She is a travel agent, so I will be helping out at her booth. Hopefully I'll get a chance to walk around and get a chance to meet some local photographers.

Photography: Sarah Senior Session

As I mentioned yesterday, we took the photos at the family farm. I love the farm, it's an excellent setting. Sarah and I had a blast shooting her country-gal-themed session. Enjoy some of my favorites from the session! If you'd like to see more, I encourage you to check out my Facebook page! Comment and let me know what your favorites are!

Photography: Sarah's Senior Portrait Sneak Peak

Yesterday I went with my boyfriend's sister, Sarah, to their family farm to do a portrait session. Sarah had brought a few different outfit changes and a blanket to keep warm between pictures. She was a trooper, wearing her summer dresses in the chilly weather! Luckily the clouds broke and the sun came out and it warmed up a bit for us! Enjoy this little sneak peak, I'll share the rest later this week.

Photography: Baby Keagan and Jack Portraits

This past weekend I spent some time with my family in Pennsylvania. It was cloudy and rainy, but we had a great time! The boys spent their time on the quad in the mud and the girls went to the outlet stores. On Saturday I was playing outside with my baby cousins and took some new portraits of them for my cousin.



The baby is an absolute ham that loves the camera and the attention. He got angry when I was trying to play hockey with Jack because I wasn't following him around with my camera!



My cousin asked if I would do more portraits of them again in the summer on the beach. How can I say no? They're such cute kids!

Engagement Session: Sue + Ryan Sneak Peak

Yesterday I went to meet with Ryan and Sue to nail down the details about their shoot. While I was meeting with them, they wanted me to meet their dog Ginger since it was important to them to have her be part of their shoot. I brought my camera to see how Ginger would react to the camera, so there is a part one to their e-session. We had a good time just hanging out and playing with the dog. I look forward to showing the full e-session after their booked date!

Photography: Engagement in a Field

I've got a meeting with a couple today to nail down the details for their engagement pictures! We'll be doing something similar to this gorgeous image above in a field where there is tall yellow wheat grass, a beautiful birch tree, and a riverbank. The image above was taken by Gina Kolsrud, who you should definitely check out! Her work is kinda insanely gorgeous!

Spring is getting closer and closer! Happy March! I'm very excited for this month, I have my first official client meeting for an engagement session that I hope will turn into a wedding booking. I've also rented a lovely lens for my camera for the month to test it out. This weekend I'm going to go see family for a few days in gorgeous, gorgeous Pennsylvania. It's also my birthday at the end of the month!

Photography: African Safari

I've been mentioning for a while that my mom, a travel agent for Liberty Travel, took a trip to Kenya to take an African safari. This was her second time to Africa, the first being when she toured Southern Africa and Cape Town to visit her Aunt. She had an excellent time on this trip, and they stayed in very nice accommodations - these were like 5 star camping tents with a bathroom and everything. My mom took all of these pictures, and I'm very proud of her since she doesn't really know how to use her camera at all passed the auto function.

If you'd like to see more pictures, there are more posted here!



My mom is the one on the right in the picture below.

Photography: Fog and Sun

Today it was very foggy out, which only added to my down-in-the-dumps winter depression. Don't get me wrong, usually I love the winter and the snow, but I haven't seen the sun in three days and I'm starting to go batty with snow storms every three days! So you can bet that I was so happy when the fog dissipated and the sun came shining through the clouds! I was so excited that with a few minutes of daylight left I grabbed Roy and took him outside to be my photographic subject.

Did you enjoy the movie UP? Did you think it was one of the most adorable and heartfelt stories ever? I did. If you liked it you should drop everything you're doing right now and head on over to the amazing Wildflowers Photography blog and check out part one and part two of this adorable couple's sweet engagement session! This was shot by the wonderful Joy Harmon Prouty.

Photography: Instagram

Instagram is a wonderful and fun way to share your photography with your friends, facebook, twitter, tumblr, and other forms of social networking that has blown up since its release and since I am getting my iPhone soon I thought I would use it with my iPod for a bit. Well, I'm a wee bit addicted.



I'm also a wee bit of a nerdy dork-pie. I uploaded this photo for a challenge on "shadows" and was elated to watch my photo jump to the popular page 4 times! It's my first day using the app. I think it could be great as another platform to get your name out there as a photographer. And it's fun to take pictures and put cool filters on them.

If you're an Instagram user, comment below so I can find your pictures! Or check out my stuff @mtheginger!
