Treat | chester nj newborn photographer

By Tina | Published October 27, 2011

No tricks to be had here just treats….in the form of a newborn sneak peek!

Once in a young lifetime one should be allowed to have as much sweetness as one can possibly want and hold.

you wanna piece of me? | morris county nj child photographer

By Tina | Published October 25, 2011

As I was editing and came across this image I laughed so hard I snorted. I heard in my head “hold me back Dad!” and snorted again.

This is the kind of picture that I would love to see big on a playroom wall or in a dad’s office. Traditional family pictures are great and everyone loves them but something about off the cuff moments that reflect true personalities just makes my heart smile. Oh ok…….and snort.

visions of sugarplums | nj newborn photographer

By Tina | Published October 21, 2011

Sometimes when I am working with a newborn I am just amazed by their peacefulness as they sleep. I often wonder what they are dreaming of……

“No dreamer is ever too small; no dream is ever too big.”

~Anonymous

Love this family, LOVE LOVE LOVE! This is the second sweet girl I have had the honor of photographing with them and I cannot wait to see what this next year brings as she grows and dreams big.

Enjoy your sneak peek!

enchanted gardens | morris county nj child photographer

By Tina | Published October 20, 2011

“There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.”
- Elizabeth Lawrence

Every year I see this beautiful girl I am amazed. Amazed by her silly personality, sassy smarts and hello GORGEOUS hair (lol)! This year for her holiday portrait session, I think she had more fun with me than ever before as we took an adventure together exploring some secret enchanted gardens. We even tried to see if Strawberry Shortcake was on the other side of that bridge but she was too busy hiding back in the car.

I get to be a kid all the time with my own boys but when I get to have a session with such an imaginative little girl it brings me back to my own childhood……and lucky for me, I even got to get a good sniff of Strawberry Shortcake too before parting ways. (((SMILE)))

Enjoy your sneak peek!

a daughter is love | morris county new jersey family photographer

“A daughter is, a joy bringer, a heart warmer, a memory maker; a daughter is love.”

This year’s holiday mini sessions were awesome! I got to work with six families in creating images for their holiday cards and gifting this upcoming holiday season. Getting to see some familiar faces as well as meet some new ones just added to the fun.

Enjoy your sneak peek C family!

sweet love | chester nj family photographer

By Tina | Published October 17, 2011

I know most of the moms that book family sessions with me are so excited to get whole family shots and ones that show the personalities of their kids. For me though it’s a chance to get a capture of the two people responsible for creating the great family in the first place and showing their love for each other.

Enjoy your sneak peek J!

giggle giggle | chester nj child photographer

By Tina | Published October 14, 2011

To think that Miss. Dailey went from this little peanut to this sweet adorable little girl in what feels like a blink of an eye amazes me. I am beyond excited when asked back into a family’s life and love.

Now normally a signature session lasts about an hour but we had so much fun together we ended up going to two locations and spending almost 2 hours giggling, playing, going on adventures, knocking on doors and Dailey showing me what she can do to with a camera herself!

Enjoy your sneak peek Mom & Dad

Smooches | chester new jersey baby photographer

By Tina | Published September 16, 2011

Or baci where I am going!

So I cannot leave for Italy without giving this sneak peek! Come on, don’t you just want to give those cheeks a smooch?!?! Loved seeing Miss. G for her 6 month session and big sister J too. Luckily for us the cool front had not yet moved in this week when we had her session and were able to get some fun in before we close up for next week. Enjoy your sneak peek Mom!

So just like my clients like getting sneak peeks, so do I. When a little brown box arrived yesterday that I wasn’t expecting I was curious what it was. When I opened it I squealed like a schoolgirl and got all giddy I tell ya. The new edition of the bump magazine launched and what is inside on page 9 brought tears to my eyes.

All you new mommies to be out there make sure you pick up a copy at your OBGYN’s office or swing by us at 10 Budd Ave, Chester NJ for one. It is loaded with articles to help you prepare for the arrival of your little one, tips and mommy deals too….pssst we have an awesome one in there!

Just a reminder that we will be closed from 9/19 – 9/25 while traveling in Italy. You can still reach me via email at exit@lifeisahighwayphotography.com if you need to during this time.

On Display | chester new jersey children photographer

By Tina | Published September 14, 2011

Did you know that we are now offering mini sessions ALL THE TIME? Yes, that’s right. Our brand new Day Trip mini sessions are mini sessions offered Monday – Friday! Now you can have a mini session anytime to capture that milestone in between of maybe your 3 month old or 9 month old….or perhaps Halloween pictures….or maybe a new twist on back to school photos? These Day Trip Minis are 20 minutes in length, must take place in and around our Chester location and produce 10 gallery proofs for $100. From there you can pick what you’d like from the a la carte pricing guide; easy peasy!

Now awhile ago I put it out there on our Facebook Fan Page that I’d love to see what clients have done with their images and show me them on display in their homes and lives. I received so many great walls of smiles and laughter back that I can’t wait to show you. But how this ties in with the new Day Trip mini session announcement is that this amazing wall display was put together by a client from sessions from her own mini session. I hope you are inspired to see what a mini session can produce as well as get your images on display!

Thank you R for sharing your family with me and your gorgeous display for the blog.
