Miracles for Molly Announcement!

Miracles for Molly Dunne – Fundraiser

Please join us in Hockessin on Saturday, June 4th, 2011 for special edition mini-portrait sessions to help raise much needed funds for six year old Molly Dunne and her family. All session fees ($50) will go directly to the Dunne family, along with a portion of all print sales. A special day deserves special pricing! For these sessions only, we’re offering exclusive print collection pricing for the fundraising event.

To give you some background information on Molly, she is a 6 year old girl who was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension and HHT (Osler Weber Rendu) after collapsing at her first day of Kindergarten. A day that should have been a happy memory for her and her family, changed their life forever. After months of hospitalization and intensive rehabilitation, she was able to come home last month! With each passing day, Molly continues to get stronger and is making great progress. We’re hoping to help her and her family get back on their feet as well by helping offset the costs of medical care and other needs.

See the fundraising information listed here for all the details. Location information will be sent to families who book a session. To book a session, please call us as soon as possible as we are expecting spots to fill up quickly.

{ Beach Session 2010 } - Southern New Jersey Newborn, Children and Family Photographer

Well I was So happy when I got this call..because I'd been dying to do a beach session. I don't know what it is about the beach, but it brings out something refreshing and clean in photography! And I love everything there is to know and feel about the beach. The sun, the sand .. oh yeah and the boardwalk pizza =)


We live near the Jersey shore..so off we headed! The family was on their vacation and had a home right off the beach.

Mommy "E" was expecting her second child; so we combined a few maternity photo's in for her =)
















Thanks family for giving me my beach session! We had dinner at that restaurant you recommended and it was perfect. You were incredible! ♥

{ hue . pink . texture . unlimited } Marta Locklears Photo Challenge

Hey all I hope you have had a good week. I am again participating in Marta Locklear's photo challenge. I love it! So let me show you what this week is about..

I at first thought I would have a Big problem finding pink in my house. I can't say I decorate with it..but started looking and walking around. Duh Me moment!! I have Lots of pink in my Grandmothers china closet in my dining room. Loads!

I also have a few photographs in there. This one if a photo I won over at Shutter Sisters several years ago. I didn't even Know what a Peony was then. Boy I sure do know now tho! And also there is a glimpse of a few peaces of what I collect besides old camera's. I collect pink depression glass. All differant kinds. Don't have to match. You get the idea. I've been collecting these for years and years.


Here is a pullback photo of my china closet. This was my grandmothers and I cherish it. I have her Orchid Heisey glass in there amongst my wine glasses and various other glass items. Oh and did I tell you? I also have a small collection of teacups. =)


Pink Hobnail. Yum ♥

And a few other pinks from my home. I have silk peonys which I use when I don't have fresh ones to enjoy. And the pink diamond? I saw it when hubby and I were out to dinner at Cracker Barrel. He wondered why I bought it..now he knows. He thinks its so funny that I buy things to photograph them.

These photos were all shot with my Canon Macro lens. I Love the softness and depth it gives.

Enjoy! ♥
