Stylish Family, Northern New Jersey Family Photography

Tara — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:04:29 +0000

I have been photographing this gorgeous family for a few years now. They are so lovely and always so stylish. You can see a few of their previous sessions here: Family Photo Session, Maternity Photo Session and Newborn Session. It was quite cold in New Jersey the day of our photo shoot and they were all very good sports for the outdoor shots. We did most of the session outside of their building and had the children go inside to warm up in between photos. I adore these photos. I am posting a collage that mom ordered as a framed 24×30 print as well as the family portrait that mom also ordered framed. I bet her walls look great! Enjoy the images.

USING ALTERNATIVE CAMERAS: A Blog Carousel Post

Tara — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 01:39:25 +0000

I am very honored to be part of a project taken on by some of the finest children’s photographers in the world called The Blog Carousel. Once a month a theme is chosen and each participating photographer creates a blog post based on her interpretation of the theme. This month’s theme is Alternative Cameras.

When I shoot professionally, I use the Canon 5D Mark II and several different lenses. When I am shooting for myself, there are many times when I want to have a camera that fits in my purse with the sole purpose of capturing moments easily. For these instances, I use the Panasonic Lumix. I bought this point and shoot camera at the suggestion of David Courtenay, a fellow photographer specializing in amazing wild life photography. The Panasonic Lumix takes great photos and even has HD Video. The camera is now a couple of years old, but I am sure that the newer models are great too.

Last year I went on family vacation to the Bahamas. Since we are a fair skinned Irish family, Carribean vacations are not typical for us. Even though I am pretty sure this was a once in a lifetime trip, I didn’t want to be bothered with the cumbersome professional gear. I brought along my Lumix and don’t have any regrets.

I tell my clients all the time to just keep snapping. Photos do not need to be perfect to be loved and cherished. Sometimes it’s just about the memories.

Next stop on the blog carousel is the very talented Grand Rapids baby and child photographer Dena Robles. Please stop by to see her interpretation of the theme, you are going to love it!

Handsome Toddler, New Jersey Child Photographer

This handsome little guy is as sweet as he looks. Don’t you just love those lashes? So cute. At 19 months old he was fast and wanted to explore which is definitely par for the course at this age, but we managed to capture his abundant smiles, fun expressions and all around happiness. I love the fall colors here too, such a perfect backdrop. Enjoy the images.
