giving IS awesome | new jersey family photographer
You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-ro

Sharing one quick photo from this morning. You may notice her from a session I had with her family a few weeks ago. We spent some time together this morning to capture her as a few days shy of 9 months. This was taken with the 85L lens that I’m renting this week and I’m in love with it. I think this is the one I’ll be purchasing in a few weeks! kim schmidt photography llc

1. I rented two lenses for a wedding I’m shooting next Saturday and I’m in total LOVE with both of them!

She has some major self-control as she is the only person that knows the sex of the child! Her husband didn’t want to find out but she was interested. I’m impressed that she has kept it in all this time! Mara enjoy your sneak peek.

Friday late afternoon I met up with another seminary family near the D&R canal to take some 6 month photos of little Isabelle. I couldn’t resist snapping a few of big sister Addy too. Both of these girls have gorgeous eyes and beautiful smiles. Thanks Heather & Todd for playing along! I asked Addy to sit in the leaves for a few photos and she found two “nuts” (you can see one in her hand there). The elation and joy she got from that continues to make me smile. And those
