Princeton New Jersey Photographer
I have photographed a lot of family occasions and memories for the Enright family. On October 27th they celebrated Fara’s 1st birthday party at their home in Princeton. Elizabeth is an extremely talented and creative party planner and the decor was absolutely amazing. She buys a lot of her decorations at The Paper Shop on Nassau Street in Princeton. They invited all of their close friends and family to Fara’s party and even rented a bouncy tent for the children, a professional clown/face painter and even a portable brick oven pizza truck for the adults. I am always so honored when I get to work with the Enright Family.

Fara was all smiles for her party. She really enjoyed everything that her parents put together for her..jpg)
Extremely bright and harsh sunlight is something I love to utilize in my photographs. Simply place your couple’s backs to the sun to provide them with an amazing hair/rim light. Since the sun is to their backs you will have even light across their faces and never have to deal with any shadows whatsoever..jpg)
There are no shortage of amazing locations to photograph your couple when you are on the Grounds for Sculpture. Needless to say I was incredibly excited to be there..jpg)
Like I mentioned before, simply place your subjects between you and the sun for some amazing rim/hair lighting. It was quite a chilly day so Christine and Michael were happy to hold hands and keep each other warm..jpg)
A Grounds for Sculpture wedding really is magical. The sun was just about to set and it was bursting through the trees on their grounds. I just had to stop my couple once more for this beautiful fall wedding image..jpg)
I tend to photograph my subjects later in the day because I love the late afternoon sun. It’s golden in color, very direct and creates the most beautiful hair light. For this image, all I had to do was place my subjects in front of a beautiful fall tree and ask them to hold their son Benjamin..jpg)
With a family portrait session it is always wise to give your subjects something fun to do together, instead of just asking them to sit and pose for you. Children almost never want to sit in one location for very long so I simply asked The Whitfield family to walk through .jpg)
Kimberly has the most wonderful smile and you can tell her son Benjamin is the light of her life. Here they are in front of a local toy store. I frequently like to use the surrounding architecture and foliage to my advantage. So by asking them to kneel and relax together I was able to give this shot some bursts of color..jpg)
Since there was so many colorful flags and decorations around Peddler’s Village it was easy to capture the tone of this beautiful fall afternoon. When photographing fast moving children you have to be sure to use a very fast shutter speed, in order to stop any motion. If you don’t your photographs will come out very blurry and you will have unhappy clients..jpg)
Benjamin is such a polite boy. He always waved to other children and said hello as we adventured through .jpg)
You only have one shot to get that perfect photo of a child looking directly into your lens. When photographing a family I always make sure to tell my parents and adults to always look at me the entire time they are posing with their child. I’ve figured out through experience that the child will only look up for a split second and I have to catch that shot. If I have my parents looking down at their child, trying to get them to look at me, the moment he looks up, I have parents looking down. This little tip has helped me countless times to capture a perfect family portrait.
