Thanksgiving: Stellwags Farm NJ

I love this photo! I am so attracted to the starkness of it. I converted it to BW and used the scenic landscape option to give it a softer brighter look void of any major shadows. So sweet!

Below are just a few photos from the 2 day Thanksgiving photo shoot on Stellwags Farm in Delran New Jersey. I will be posting a few more images so all families are represented.

Thanks Giving Photo Shoot Day 1

The Monzo sisters are so funny and loving toward each other! They were constantly moving and that can be a challenging trying to get pictures in focus. But I managed to capture there pure joy. I think they were so excited to wear their matching dresses & wear flowers in their hair. It was a special day and the younger sister was bursting with energy and enthusiasm!

Carmen and her kids were wonderful. It was a very cold and windy day and everyone was freezing. Even in the freezing cold they were happy to smile pretty. Especially her older son who happened to bring his guitar along. I loved that he happened to have it in the car! He looks like a rock star!

These photo shoots concluded a total of 4 that I have done as a "professional photographer. The next day I would have 5 more photo shoots. And one of them was made up 3 families! That was great practice. And great fun!

Thanksgiving at Stellwags Farm NJ

It was a very sunny windy day. Quite a challenge to get evenly lit photos with out hair flying all over the place!
This Photo is just enough wind, not too much. I don't want to cover up her beautiful blues! Little brother was much happier to sit with his sister in the tractor, so that is one of my favorite photos of them since they both look happy. The full sun on them was very problematic, but I think it is still a nice picture of them.

Thanksgiving Stellwag's Farm, New Jersey 2009

We had a busy weekend photographing about 10 families! Three of which were in 1 hour!

This was all made possible by my over achieving younger sister. We both agree she missed her true calling in PR. Thank you Jennifer! I love you!

Thank you to all the families that came out in the cold and blustery wind! You are all helping me get my start as a photographer and I am forever grateful. More photos will be posted. These are a few favorites.

The photos were taken at Stellwag's Farm in Delran NJ. It is the most adorable farm tucked away in the suburbs. Great for kids! George the donkey is so friendly!

The Many Faces of Amelya

These are the "out takes".

Play breaks, dreamy, silly, and most of all anger and frustration!
Two hours of me saying stand here, oooo, the light. Turn this way. No that way. Head up. Sit, stand,turn, bend. Too sunny, stand here, no light, over hear. Oh Oh Yes, yes right here! Wow. look at these leaves, right here, no, closer. not behind the leaves, beside them. Uuuuug! But we always manage to have fun and get beautiful pictures. We're a great team! At least I think so. Ha! See other photos of this shoot below this post.
