Tyler Turns Four | Jersey Shore Photographer | Ocean County Photography

Birthday Boy Turns Four

On St. Patrick's Day we scream, "Happy Birthday" to our best buddy Tyler!  This year our handsome bud is turning FOUR!  Tyler and my son Emerson have been thick as thieves since August 2014, so I've gotten to watch this big guy grow as one of my own and photograph him along the way, of course!  I can't believe he's about to be FOUR!  Where does the time go?  Love you Ty and can't wait to celebrate your birthday with you!

Scarlett Turns Three | Jersey Shore Photographer | Ocean County Photography

My favorite little mermaid is back and this time she is turning three!  Scarlett is a longtime client of mine and a very memorable one, hence the mermaid reference!  She is absolutely adorable, exploding with personality, and unbelievably charming!  I love capturing her and her families beautiful memories and I look forward to all the future sessions with them!  Happy birthday Scarlett, stay fierce!

Baby Girl Turns One | First Birthday Party | Jersey Shore Photographer

Since you all have so generously allowed me to capture your family memories, I thought I'd share some of mine from with you.  While I was busy photographing newborns, watermelon sessions, sunflowers, wildflowers, and so much more, I was also planning for my littlest love turning ONE!  I fought back tears ordering her smash cake and onesie, as I did when my son reached this milestone age.  I love smash cake sessions, and of course, our new splash baths, but when it's your own baby it's so bittersweet that it hurts.  Thankfully it went off without a hitch as my baby girl devoured her cake and was quite impressed with herself and the mess she made.  Once it was over and she had a nice layer of icing all over her face, it was time to clean up!  She splashed herself clean and kept smiling for the camera.  I just can't believe this little girl of mine is already one, how did this happen so fast?

A few days after her photo session at our studio, we celebrated her birthday with our beloved friends and family.  Her Winnie the Pooh themed party was nothing short of amazing.  We enjoyed great entertainment, delicious cake and cookies, and lovely conversation.  These are the moments we live for and will cherish for a lifetime.  A special thank you to Raechel, our associate photographer, for catching all the great memories made on our special day.  I am so grateful to have you on my team, not just for photography purposes, but as an important person in our lives

Screaming birthday wishes to this little princess who is turning TWO!  Miriam spent the day surrounded by friends and family who all joined together to spread birthday cheer.  I am so grateful to her and her family for choosing me, yet again, to capture their precious family moments.  I have had the honor of taking her sweet momma's maternity photos, then her baby shower photos, and I swear just yesterday we were celebrating Miriam's first birthday!  My goodness, where does the time go?  Happy birthday Miriam, TWO is terrific!
