Family photo session in the historic heart of Philadelphia.
What can be a better way to enjoy this perfect golden crispy fall? Just walking around the amazing old city of Philadelphia with the ones you loved the most. And with your beloved photographer aka me, of course. Had so much fun with Oleg and Lena and their little son Daniel, whom I met for the first time during his christening. Wow, time flies!
Portrait Photoshoot in Jersey City, NJ.
Rainbow, laughs, and a gorgeous view of Manhattan.
The idea for this portrait photoshoot came out of a message. Or should I say it was more of a cry for help in some way? I have to clarify here: Natasha wrote to me during the outbreak of the pandemic, while being stuck on self-quarantine. She had a strong determination to leave the house, abandon her cat, her husband, and her adorable one-year-old baby to finally have some time for herself. She wanted to have an individual portrait session and wanted me to help her with it. I believe 3 months of self-isolation explains all of the above. Needless to say, I was ready to flee my house as well.
How to pick the right location for your Portrait Session.
One of the most popular questions and almost the first one people ask me after the booking a session with me is where should we take your images.
You’ve seen a beautiful place where your friends had a shoot recently, but it seems to be far away from your home. Or you loved that one image on Pinterest, but not sure if you can make it there because the weather looks super gloomy and it’s about to rain and snow at the same time. So you keep on brainstorming and worrying because, naturally, you want your photos to be perfect.
5 reasons to print your Family photos.
It's been a 6th or 7th (who still counts at this point?) week of self-isolation. I had my phone in my hands and after checking all the emails and social media apps, I made a deep dive into my camera roll. Oh, what a place of wonder! 16,231 photos! Just think about this number! I found the photos from my trip to Alaska from a couple of years ago. And my heart melted. I instantly transported to a place of nature that I miss so much during this quarantine. Then I started to think about how many times I promised myself to start printing my photos, from all the trips I've taken, my work, and the importance of printing your priceless memories in general.
The Importance of Self-love.
Treat yourself, smile to your reflection in the mirror, give yourself a break for once and embrace all your craziness.
