Santa is coming to Galloway NJ! Yes, that’s right! Santa is going to be visiting our studio right here in Galloway, NJ!

If you love all of the little moments, the magic, and the twinkle in your child’s eye when they get to experience the joys of Christmas then this is the session for you! For one day only, the REAL Santa Claus will be visiting the studio on November 20th! This will be extra special, because your little one will be able to have a one on one experience with Santa! Just ask him about the North Pole or his favorite reindeer!

Sessions are 10 minutes long, and are $180 + tax and include 5 digital images of your choice from an online proofing gallery. You will be able to purchase the entire gallery of digitals for an additional payment of $99 after you receive the online proofing gallery.

Are you taking your family on vacation and planning a Long Beach Island Family Session? Let me just tell you, LBI is SPECIAL. I mean, wait until you see the color of the ocean during this session. I wish I could say it was edited to look aqua but it wasn’t! I even stopped during the session to tell Mom that her dress color went so unbelievably well with the color of the ocean! It was one of those nights where you stopped and thought, “wow, I love where I live and I love what I do!” The ocean is such a refreshing, beautiful place that no matter what is going on, you will be calm! It’s the free therapy you didn’t know you needed! So go get it!

I will gladly do a Long Beach Island Family session because the beaches are always clean, calm, beautiful and so well taken care of. LBI is just a very wonderful place to vacation. Even as a “Jersey Shore” local, I find myself having favorite spots and they’re always away from the hustle and bustle of “summer”. I like to stay away from the crowds, and be able to think I am the only one on the beach! That’s a real vacation!

If you’re looking to book your Long Beach Island Family session reach out to me today! Click here to book your session. I still have spots open for July, August and September! **July is limited for sunset spots, but sunrise spots are open and are at 7:30am!**

Gillian’s Wonderland Pier – My favorite backdrop for an Extended Family Beach Session in Ocean City, NJ! Whether you are a local and you simply love this spot or you are vacationing and want to be sure to see all of the amazing locations that Ocean City, NJ has to offer – this is a spot to truly add to your list! Not only is it a wonderful amusement park right on the boardwalk, but it’s a very scenic spot for beautiful portraits and the boardwalk is usually pretty empty past Wonderland because it’s just boardwalk. Also, if you are wanting to make an evening of your portrait session, you can head over to Wonderland Pier when you’re done and it’s fun for the whole family! Wonderland Pier is family owned and operated and if you follow me, you KNOW I love supporting local small businesses (such as myself!).

Ocean City is such a beautiful town and it was the perfect spot for this fun extended family session! I love that they were so full of energy and ready to JUMP on the beach (yes, they really did jump!) Not only that but can you spot the engaged couple? I was so happy to be a part of this wonderful family memory for them and I can’t wait for more fun sessions like this!

If you are planning your family vacation and you want your Extended Family Beach Session in Ocean City, reach out to schedule today!

Not sure what to wear for Christmas Portraits? Let me help you with some visual guides! Selecting your outfits can make or break your family portraits! You really want to select outfits that flatter everyone, and can showcase who you really are. Is your family causal and comfortable or is your family upscale and glamorous? You can go in so many different directions. The possibilities are virtually endless and you have the internet to shop at your disposal!

Here is a list of my favorite places to shop:

H&M : Really great selection of clothing for kids and adults. A great way to stay trendy and relevant, and not submit to the “cuteness” of boy clothes you will find in other chain stores. Also, convenient, and you can find GREAT deals here!
Janie & Jack : On the more expensive side, but the quality alone is worth it! They have a very distinct style that will not disappoint!
Zara : High fashion kids clothes (and adults too!) If you want to stand out, this is it!
Boden : Really beautiful clothing options for the whole family! High quality pieces, velvet, tulle, sequins, blazers, shoes, etc.
ModCloth: An amazing resource for women both regular and plus sized, with an amazing assortment of different and unique styles!
Shein : Stay in style with the amazing options at Shein, for men, women and children!
Neiman Marcus : Always a solid choice for a classic look for every member of your family.
Ted Baker : High end designs, beautifully crafted, and gorgeous additions to your closet that will last the test of time!
ASOS : For men and women, the clothing you will find here are highly stylish and perfect for that wow factor!

Although these are just my suggestions for what to wear for Christmas Portraits…

You should take some time to really think about colors, patterns, styles and textures to create your own look for your family. You will really have a good time searching the internet for just the right pieces, and then it’s time to shop! Or, you can look in your closet and try to find different things you have purchased throughout the years, to make something work! It’s a really fun challenge and you will feel so much more proud that you’ve styled your family on your own! I’d say that will earn some serious bragging rights!

Take a look at the board below and see how I styled them. You will have a much better idea on what to wear for Christmas Portraits!
