Christmas Mini Session Information | Ocean County NJ | South Jersey Photographer | Child Photography

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Heyy everyone!! So this post is a little later than most years things been a little crazy as a mom of three and having a newborn around again, plus, well its 2020 and this year has been weird. But here we are almost done and thinking about the best time of year!! We have only 49 days left till Christmas. I will only be doing indoor Minis this year. The studio is a private studio that gets wiped down between every session. I will have three set ups again this year, two new ones and a all time favorite (back by popular demand). Country Christmas, Snowy Forrest, and Gold Rush.

There of course will be the option of having a full indoor Christmas session as well as the indoor mini session. Christmas minis are for immediate families with small children - but babies MUST be able to sit up unsupported or have an older sibling who can hold them. Christmas minis are not for newborn sessions or for extended family sessions ( one family per time slot, no cousins, grandparents etc). I have 3 outfits that can be used for sessions. Elf outfit is in 6 months and 9 months. Santa is 9 months. Pants and hat set is newborn. (Please note if you are interested in using - the outfits will be washed after every use) Turn around time will be 72 hours for these sessions.

July 2nd Concert | Sponsorship | Free Family Fun | Family Photographer | Ocean County NJ

Free Family Fun Night

Last week Smile Photography was able to be a participating sponsor for the Long Beach Township Tuesday night concert series. The show is a free concert on Long Beach Island and I was able to get some great shots of the event. So many people enjoying the music in so many different ways. There were people sitting, relaxing, and listening, there were family playing at the park listening, paddle boarders, kayakers, family enjoying the water while listening, some enjoying the food from Sunny Rae’s food truck (Link below), and on top of all that my nutty kids running all around. I was joined by Jasmine from Let it be a Party who also sponsored that night as well. They are the local one stop party shop! (Link below). Please make sure you take a look at the next events they will be having at Bayview Parks & Recreation to join in on the fun! (Link below).

Free Family Fun Night

Throughout my time here at Smile Photography, I'm constantly looking for new and different ways to be a member of the community outside of just a photographer. I was so excited to be approached by the Long Beach Township to be a participating sponsor for their summer concert series at Bay View Park. It's a opportunity for Smile Photography to get involved in one of the favorite free activities my kids and I have enjoyed for the last few summers. I'm very excited for this opportunity and I'll have my camera ready to catch some great moments. So please come join Smile Photography and the B Street Band on July 2nd at Bayview Park on Long Beach Island at 7pm for the free Tuesday evening concert series!

Quinn | Queen Elsa | South Jersey Photographer | Child Photography

Traveling to Disney

Phew!! I think I can finally say it will out jinxing it, goodbye winter and goodbye SNOW! Gosh, as I get older the snow gets less less fun, haha! But watching my princess think that she is a Queen and can freeze everything is honestly the most joyous feeling in the world. I thought Disney movies and Disney World was great when I was little but golly it is SOOO much better as a Mommy!! Quinn and Emerson watch all sorts of Disney movies, and tend to get stuck on one and we watch on repeat for a good amount of time and then on to the next haha, but sharing this time with them has been amazing.

In the beginning of October, we as a family, both set of grandparents as well, went to Disney World for our first family vacation. As there was always something going on and pretty crazy, it was great to watch the magic in their eyes. Some may say that they were “too young” but I would not have changed it for the world. Quinn still to this day asks about it and asks for Elsa when she gets her hair cut because we got her first hair cut there and they of course made it so so special!! I can’t wait to book a vacation to head on back there to have some more family time. The best part of planning to go is that one of my great friends just became a travel agent, for Disney! Say whattttt! How cool right!?! Many people think that using a travel agent will cost them money, and it doesn’t! Same price you would pay with out a travel agent but some extra love and help planning. Next time we go we will be using Deanna to help us set everything us! Hop on over to her page to take a look to see how she can help you with your traveling!!
