Aaaaaand another shoot...

Sorry...I'm playing catch up from Turkey Day-- which was excellent, by the way! One other shoot I had that weekend was for Jenn. We did partial "woo woo" and the normal ones with her doggies! Here are a few of the doggie pictures.

...you didn't actually think i'd put the "woo woo" ones here, did you? Shame on you.

Weekend Madness!

This past weekend I had two shoots: My brothers-in-law, and my nephews and Noah (my son). Pictures are the best thing to give in-laws for Christmas! We all crammed into my Altima and went to Brynn Athen cathedral. It's an awesome place for pictures-- the architecture is stunning! Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot:
After that session, we crammed BACK into the Altima and drove to a nearby playground for the younger boys' shoot. It was hard to get the twins grounded to one spot for more than a few seconds, but we did manage. Here are some of my favs from that:



Good times were had by all!!
In the way of news, I'm running a special on senior and family portraits. Check it out on the "specials" page of my website: www.collierimages.com

Introducing The Woo Woo Shoot!

Ladies, looking for a fun replacement to your typical engagement session? We now offer a tasteful-yet sexy- intimate session to engaged and married women that we like to call the "woo woo shoot". Bring your favorite intimates, your highest heels, and your best sexy face. This isn't just for the nearly-wed and newly-weds! This is for you veterans too; throw some spice into the mix!

Long Branch Where?

This Summer I was the second shooter for my friend Mike. The wedding was in Long Branch, NJ. When he said "beach wedding" I was thinking of the Jersey Shore...you know...the common places: Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Wildwood. I had no idea it even existed! The resort/spa was pretty, and there was a promenade of sorts, mimicking a boardwalk along the beach. Unfortunately, it was rainy, so the ceremony had to be held indoors, and the pictures were taken under cover, but Mike and Sherry were still elated for their big day. She was a beautiful bride, and he an endearing groom.

The Campbell Family Shoot

One of the shoots I did in early October was for the Campbell family. The goal was just to get some fun, relaxed pix of the family together, and portraits of the boys. Everyone really opened up and had a good time letting their true colors show. It's always hard to pick favorites, but here are some of mine from that day:

Book Your Holiday Shoot NOW!

Don't you just love getting those cute little photo greetings on Christmas??? They're so much better than cards-- you can keep them and add them to your photo wall! I have so many I've had to make my house more Pottery Barn like, to accommodate them all. I love their huge, full-wall collages, with pictures of all sizes leaning against each other.

The Pumpkin Patch Experience

We took Noah to a pumpkin Patch this weekend with some friends of ours: Derek, Leslie, and their little boy Braeden. Fall is the perfect time for family portraits outdoors! The changing leaves, pumpkins, mums...they all provide beautiful backdrops. These are great portraits to add to your Christmas greeting cards, too! It's refreshing to see a different season when you feel like the cold will never end.

Jon & Donna are Finally Married!

After an engagement just before summer, our friends Jon and Donna tied the knot. They were married in Sea Isle City, NJ. The bride arrived to the 'alter'/dock by boat, and they were married at sunset. They couldn't have asked for a more beautiful sky....also a backlighting nightmare! Well worth it, though. How romantic!
