MICHELLE | SWEET SIXTEEN
AMELIA | 5 MONTHS OLD
Today my sweet girl is 5 months old. At 5 months she sure does have a personality and attitude 
She’s sitting up and standing with support, she loves her toys, and teeth are definitely coming through soon. Every morning I wake to her gorgeous smile and her words (well not really full words but when she “talks” she looks like she’s telling me a story) We had a blast together this summer. I’m not quite sure what I did with my time before she was here – today I can’t imagine my life with out her.
AMELIA BEDELIA
I’m so excited, I stopped into my favorite deli in town and was surprised by 2 books for my Amelia. I know I wanted to start the book collection to read with my daughter but was fortunate to get it started earlier than expected. I’m not a fan of TV so these books are perfect. Thank you Michelle for the books
Happy Saturday…off to shoot a super cute Sweet Sixteen tonight.
ERIKA AND JOHN
Erika and John got married the day after I returned from vacation and I didn’t know how much dancing exactly was going to be at their wedding, but I will say, I did not sit down one bit. It was the most fun I had in a long time. Everything about their day was perfect! Erika and John – thank you for having me at your FABULOUS wedding!
- Ava as always...AMAZING!! I am sooo happy with our choice of photographer. You captured so many intimate moments... I'm pretty speechless. I am extremely excited to see the rest of the pics. I can only imagine all of the phenomenal photos you will have. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for sharing in our day and for enjoying yourself as much as our guests!! Love, love, love you!!!
F.A.Q. : COMPANIES VS BOUTIQUE STUDIO
2 client’s came in last night to the studio to talk about their upcoming weddings. Along with meetings, I’ve had recent phone consultations and the feed back that I’ve been getting is that many bride and groom’s don’t feel a connection with photography companies. You know the one’s that offer photography, video, and DJ. I LOVE to hear this because it’s exactly why I opened a boutique style photography studio. I’m always unsure why bride’s would want to hire an all in one company. To me, photography is an investment and should be taken seriously.
What is a boutique style studio? It’s a company that has a signature photographer or photographers, when you call or email the studio you get the same person all the time, it’s not a company that offers so many different things that it’s hard to follow up with, and there is a CONNECTION and trust with a boutique style company. Honestly, it’s like Target vs Neiman Marcus.
When a new client inquiry emails me, I normally email the client back in 24 hours or call back in a reasonable time. I don’t have a assistant that a client talks to, it just ME. It’s the connection with a client that I’m after anyway. I would never want a client leaving not feeling like they didn’t get all my time and attention.
When it comes to connection with my client’s, I love when a bride researches me. I love when they have been on my web site and blog and have actually read the posts. Things go so much more smoothly when they know exactly the look they want and our visions match. I’ll be honest, I’m not much of a salesperson so when a client says they want me to shoot their wedding because of ME because they felt like they know me…well then my job is done.
Happy Thursday

LAURA AND RYAN
I shot a couple weddings while I was pregnant and never got a chance to share them with you. Laura and Ryan were married on September 11th in Kearny, NJ and had their reception at the Hyatt in Jersey City.
Enjoy!
MY FIRST DENIM
I must admit, I love Baby Gap. The clothes are beyond cute and I really am just a sucker when I go in there. I picked up some clothes for Amelia for our vacation and couldn’t resist this cute denim jacket. She looks super cute in it.
Happy Tuesday!
