Photo Booth Fun Weekend

Photo booth serving New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania

Busy, busy weekend with my photo booth. Started off at a school masquerade party on Friday evening. Everyone had a wonderful time!

Finished up on Saturday at a Halloween party. I love how several of the parents told me they cherish these photos and still have them from past years!

My photo booth can be configured with a green screen for a custom background and 1-4 photos on the 4×6 print. Unlimited prints with complimentary digital downloads.

Interested in having my photo booth at your event, party or dance? It’s popular at school dances, sweet 16’s, Mitsvah’s and weddings. I can combine the photo booth rental with event photography. Special package available for Sweet 16’s and weddings. Contact me for more information or to reserve it for your event.

What to Bring to Your Senior Portrait Photography Session

New Jersey Senior Portrait Photographer

Here are some things you should consider bringing to your senior portrait photography session:

  1. Parent, family member, or friend: Bringing someone you are close with will ensure that you feel comfortable and relaxed during the shoot
  2. Cap and Gown. If you have it already, bring it a long for some portraits with it on. You’ll be so busy with your friends on your big day to get any good portraits
  3. Comfortable shoes: You will likely be walking around quite a bit during the shoot, so it’s important to wear comfortable shoes that you can move around in
  4. Basic Touch Up Kit. You don’t need to go crazy with the makeup you bring to your shoot. Just bring the basics. My recommendations: blotting sheets, powder, lip color, tissues/disposable wipes, and floss.
  5. Something you love doing: Consider bringing along an object that shows off your most important personal interest, such as a musical instrument or a paint palette
  6. A change of clothes: It’s always a good idea to bring at least 3 head-to-toe looks to your photo shoot. You’ll want to have a minimum of 3 head-to-toe looks: Parent Pleaser, Senior’s Choice, and Activities
  7. Mirror. Tuck a portable mirror into your bag, so you can make sure you’re looking your best in between pictures. If you don’t have a handheld or portable mirror, the front-facing camera on your phone should also do just fine. Just make sure that phone is charged!
  8. Props: If you’re excited about the idea of a creative shoot, consider bringing along some props such as textbooks, biodegradable confetti, coffee from your favorite shop, your senior ring, hats, your favorite sunglasses, or a camera
  9. Varsity Jacket. If you lettered din a sport, be sure to bring your varsity jacket for some portraits!

Not So Candid Dance Portraits for EPAC

New Jersey Dance Photographer

For the past several years I have created candid dance portraits for Elite Performing Arts Center. The more I spend time with these dancers, the more they get comfortable with me and start doing some not so candid moments!

Some of these were just too funny not to share!

Soon I’ll be releasing all of the candid portraits I created over six days inside their studio. The link will be emailed out from the studio. If you have not received it, please contact me.

Ready to step up your dance portraits? I offer private and group portrait sessions for dancers of many types. Please contact me if interested.

5 Tips on What to Wear for a Holiday Card Photo Session

Coordinate colors: Choose a color scheme that complements the season and the background. For example, if you’re taking photos in a park with fall foliage, consider wearing earthy tones like brown, green, and orange. You don’t have to match exactly, but make sure everyone’s outfits look good together.

  • Layer up: The weather can be unpredictable during the holiday season, so it’s a good idea to layer up. Wear a sweater or a jacket over your outfit to keep warm and add visual interest to your photos. You can always take off a coat just before the photo

Accessorize: Accessories can add personality and style to your photos. Consider wearing hats, scarves, or jewelry that complement your outfit and the color scheme.

Avoid busy patterns: Busy patterns can be distracting in photos. Instead, opt for solid colors or subtle patterns that won’t clash with the background or other people’s outfits.

Wear comfortable shoes: You’ll probably be standing and walking around during the photo session, so make sure you wear comfortable shoes that won’t hurt your feet. Sneakers or boots are good options for outdoor photo sessions.
