It’s that time of year folks! Memorial Day and the “unofficial” start of summer is only 1 week away! ONE WEEK! I better do some extra sit ups or something~ geesh! What the heck happened to spring?? And my spring training schedule… (Triathlon countdown 119 days YIKES!)
Reservations are now being taken for Simply Summer Beach Sessions so take a peek at your calendar and call immediately to reserve your date and time!! I have limited sessions available and several clients have already booked my southern NJ (Atlantic City and south) appointments. Just a few dates left in July. If you will be vacationing at the Jersey shore in July or August, now is the time to schedule!! This year I am also taking appointments for Long Beach Island throughout the Month of August with day trip options available. You can see a whole new gallery of beach photos on my new website!

I can’t possibly let mother’s day pass without a post dedicated to my own amazing Mom!
Meet “Mo” (A.K.A “Mom-mom Mo” )
Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting my mom knows that her love of life and enthusiastic spirit is not only contagious, it is infectious!
She is a survivor and single mother who beat all of the odds raising myself and my three sisters on housekeeper’s wage. She gave up her own dreams and career to be there for us, taking jobs which allowed her to be available to her girls both before and after school. ( And sometimes that meant scrubbing floors!)
She refereed our cat fights, took us on shoe string adventures and called them “vacations”, and made sure that we never knew just how hard it was for her to manage it all. She never ever let us see her sweat! She white knuckled it through our teenage years and managed to get each of us off to college, despite our attempts to sabotage her plan. We gave a her a real run for her money, but somehow she managed to keep pace with us the entire way. It was not uncommon for my mom to chase one of us right out the front door and up the block wielding a hanger in her hand if we dared to fall out of line. (which I dared more than I would like to admit! LOL). She spent her entire life finding ways to “made things happen” and get the job done! She has always lived large and taught me to do the same. She is an is an amazing woman and I am so lucky to have her for my mom!
Nowadays, Mom-mom-Mo has mellowed quite a bit and spends most of her time playing with her nine grand kids. In the coming months you can find her in the surf on Long Beach Island, rolling in the sand and riding the waves like a teenager. She lives life with more enthusiasm and more zest than anyone I know. I am so grateful to be her daughter and to have her as a role model and constant source of inspiration! Her grand kids can’t get enough of her and call themselves the luckiest grand kids in the world!!
We love you Mom! Thank you for all that you do for us and for teaching us how to shine!
“Unofficial” end to summer ‘08

This is the usual “end of summer” photo. Â After days of hearing the ice cream bell ring every fifteen minutes, the kids are always so surprised when my sisters and I finally cave and say yes to ice cream on the beach!!Â
Beach Portraits
June 5, 2008
TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO RESERVE YOUR SUMMER BEACH PORTRAIT SESSION!
This year I am offering a limited number of portrait sessions at the beach, down at the Jersey Shore! The goal is to ditch the starched white shirts and ironed khaki pants and get down to the business of enjoying the sun, the surf and the sand! That’s right, sand!!
These documentary style beach sessions are all about fun! You know the song, “OhOhOh those Wildwood Days”~~please don’t make me sing it for you~~ that would be bad for all of us!  These sessions are created to help you remember to sing and celebrate ”OhOhOh those childhood days” instead!!Â
Call the studio as soon as possible to ensure availability. Don’t let another year slip away! Â CALL TODAY!! Â 215-668-6168
