Long Branch, NJ 2017 Family Photo Shoot with Jessica Justin Photography

“Meet me where the sky touches the sea. Wait for me where the world begins. ”
— Jennifer Donnelly

Love is evident in the looks, the smiles, the laughter, and the subtle touches all around.  So lucky I get to tell these stories.

The Big Apple Shoot Out~Part One, Farm Life...

They say..."To be a photographer, we must PHOTOGRAPH.  No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the SIMPLE ACT of MAKING PICTURES.  Experience is the best teacher of all.  All for that, there is is no guarantee that one will become an artist ONLY the Journey Matters."  ~Harry Callahan  
This quote resonates with me.  I am the forever student...always seeking, always learning, always watching everything I can get my hands on!  This can only get you so far...Photography is different.  Action is important.  I need to TAKE the pictures, not just READ about it!  This shoot was a combination of both.  Surrounding myself with talented photographers in a creative stylized photo shoot was both "learning and doing" from some of the best out there.  What a fantastic journey!  This was "Day One" of our hands-on shoot out....more to come--80's style!!!  Thanks so much to Stephanie from Lemmonmade Photography and Mila from Mila Wells Photography for this amazing opportunity!

Fair Haven, New Jersey Family Photographer

This photo shoot was very special to me.  This beautiful mom is like a sister to me and we have been best friends since elementary school.  When she decided to move over an hour away, I was definitely sad, but why?  Distance only makes the heart grow fonder, right?  After being there for each other during so many of life's special moments, it was only fitting to document the start of their new lives.   So honored to be able to capture their love for one another...
