A Love Shoot in Pennsylvania

08.19.10 Posted in Engagements, Portraits, Weddings

Yvette and Pavel are this spunky, artistic, cute couple that were looking to have portraits together.  Although they had a lovely wedding, it was a rainy, so we were very glad to have a sunny day to create their playful images; even the extreme humidity had no effect on their smiles and enthusiasm. During our photo shoot their spontaneity, sense of humor and deep admiration for one another were clearly evident.

It was wonderful to see you both again after nearly twelve years. Thanks so much for all your support with my photography! It was very sweet of you to call on me. Your home, flower gardens and pond were beautiful to see. Hope we get together again sooner than later!

 

A gracious thank you to Sean Brady for the underwater equipment rental!

August 25, 2010 - 12:19 pm Kathleen Oakley - Jenifer, you are a true artist whose paint brush is a camera. Your artistry and vision are unparalleled! These are absolutely, positively EQUISITE and SUBLIME! How do you capture these ethereal moments??? ... The feeling of joy and love floating in the air (or water, as the case may be ...) You see the world with eyes of possibility, anticipation, contentment. The images you capture make my heart leap. It is a priviledge to have had you photograph our wedding just 2 short months ago ... and I look forward to having a special "playful" photo shoot such as this with Shea in the future with you!!!

August 25, 2010 - 5:21 pm Jenifer - Kathleen...you are such a sweetheart with your wonderful response. Thank you so much for the time to send me a comment with such thoughtful and generous words. It is very cool to know you were moved by Yvette and Pavel's photos; they made it easy on me (as did you and Shea!). It's been a lot of fun working with you both and I look forward to more shoots as well ;) Thank you Kathleen!!

Sweet Sebastian’s Photo Shoot

07.30.10 Posted in Children, Families, Portraits

Andrea and Clinton just had this beautiful baby in March. It was very cool to get invited to come out to their home and see first hand the love a new baby brings along with them. Sebastian was very curious and patient during his photo shoot this summer. He apparently even felt comfortable enough in front of my camera to take a little nap, ha.

Thank you for reaching out to me for yet more photography after your wedding. It was great getting to see you both again along with meeting your new baby boy. Congratulations!

Allaire State Park with Lissa and Fred

07.07.10 Posted in Engagements, Portraits

Lissa and Fred were really looking forward to their engagement shoot together and weren’t going to let the humidity put a damper on their afternoon at the Allaire State Park. Lissa had a sparkle in her eye the entire time which made for some very nice lovey dovey photos.

I had fun exploring the entire park with you guys and getting to know you both better over Italian ice (thanks). I look forward to your wedding day this October and running into you at a tango lesson in the future as well!

Jessica and Michael at Holmdel Park

07.03.10 Posted in Engagements, Portraits

Jessica and Michael have been in love for a very long time; so photographing them together came naturally. We met at Holmdel Park in Monmouth County last month. The park was the perfect environment for them to be playful and cozy with one another.

I think you guys are more than ready to be photographed at your wedding, ha. Looking forward to seeing you both again next week!

An Afternoon at the Laurita Winery

06.24.10 Posted in Engagements, Portraits, Winery

Jacki and Chris have been happily engaged and love visiting the Laurita Winery in New Egypt, NJ.  I have been looking for an excuse to go see it ever since I heard this rumor of a local winery. So we met there for a glass of their wine and a few photos.  It is such a sweet place to stroll along the rows of grape vines. Jacki and Chris were up for exploring the entire winery so we had a great time that day out in the sun.

 Thank you for the lovely afternoon at the winery Jacki and Chris.  You suited the environment nicely with your photogenic romance.  It was a lot of fun getting to spend some time with you both and doing your photography. You have been such wonderful supporters of my photography; thank you so much.  See you soon!
