Outdoor Family Christmas Photos | Jersey Shore Photographer | Ocean County Photograph

This family had a great Christmas session which started at Trailside Gardens with our vintage truck and ended on the rail trail for additional Christmas photos.  They were really fun to work with and I hope to see them again soon.  Merry Christmas Truszkowki family & Happy New Year!

 

Christmas Mini Weekend Two | Jersey Shore Photographer | Ocean County Photography

Weekend #2 of Christmas minis is in the books and we wrapped it all up with a total of 34...WOW!  So many wonderful families joined me at Trailside Gardens on this beautiful, mild weather weekend to take their family photos.  We can't express enough just how grateful we are that Trailside Gardens and Stetson Auto were so supportive of our company this season.  It was so hard to pick just one photo from each session for this preview blog because my camera was full of delightful faces!  Thank you all for joining me for another weekend of memory making!  Don't forget to send us your Christmas cards - we love seeing them!

Best Buds Fall Photos | Jersey Shore Photography | Ocean County Photographer

Time to do a little bragging about these three who mean the absolute world to me.  Motherhood not only blessed me with my two beautiful children, but also with best friends who have become family.   I have been photographing my son and his best buddy since their first fall in 2014 when they were just learning to sit up.  Now it's 2017 and we could barely get them to stay still!  It is one of the sessions I look forward to each year, although it breaks my heart to look back to the previous year to see how much they have grown.  The boys bring so much personality to their sessions, especially when being photographed together.  I love their always giggly, sometimes crazy, fight like brothers behavior.  Three year old's, ya know?  This fall my daughter joined them and really controlled the session - perhaps a glimpse of things to come from my little diva?  So many memories are created each fall while taking these photos.  I hope these three continue to grow together and that their friendship blossoms into something amazing.  Thank you Tyler and Melissa - these are the moments that make motherhood so much sweeter!

There's no buddy like a brother and the bond is even more special when you get to celebrate your birthdays together.  Roman and Anthony's car themed party was a great celebration surrounded by friends and family.  Happy birthday boys, you are so lucky to always have a built in best friend.

Second Birthday Photos | Jersey Shore Photographer | Ocean County Photography

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!

Generations Family Photos | Jersey Shore Photographer | Ocean County Photography

It was a windy day in Manahawkin with the Dunn Family to capture some lovely family memories that spanned generations.  Despite it being one of the craziest weather days I've ever had a session during, we were still able to get some great shots and have a wonderful time.  Thank you Dunn Family for choosing Smile Photography and we hope to work with you again soon!

This is my fourth year taking this special boys fall photos and I'm amazed how much he has changed.  It's so fun to look back and compare to past years sessions.  Time just goes far too quickly and it's important to cherish the memories you make each day.  Love you Ty, you and your mom are so special to me!

Fall Holiday Photos | Jersey Shore Photographer | Ocean County Photography

The love of a family is life's greatest blessing and this family is bursting with it!  I just love spending time with little Scarlet and her family.  I have been photographing their memorable moments for almost 3 years and each session just gets better and better.  This time we met at the amazing Double Trouble State park for some scenic fall photos and the results were incredible.  Thank you so much for choosing Smile Photography to be a part of your special memories.  We are so grateful for loyal clients like you!
