Lexi and Jay engagement

Today we had a wonderful time heading into the city to meet up with Lexi and Jay for their engagement session. We found a beautiful and quiet spot at the Horticultural Gardens and we were thrilled to find a flowering tree, the lone one left in the park. We can't wait for their wedding in the fall - we are going to have so much fun with them. Remember Jay - you are not allowed to carry our bags on the wedding day (but we sure appreciate it today!) Thanks for such fun!

First week of PTO fundraiser completed

We couldn't have asked for more wonderful families to work with this week. We have met so many great people and have had so many laughs! We are a bit sore from lugging that couch around but it was well worth it. Thanks everyone for creating such lovely families to photograph.

Don't miss out on the fun, the next and final week of the PTO fundraiser mini sessions is scheduled for June 24-28, see the PTO representative. And don't forget to stay tuned for the image voting!

One of our families purchased 2 time slots and time allowed to go to their lovely property, the couch came with us!

More PTO fun families

We are continuing to have a blast with our PTO fundraiser mini sessions. Even dogs are welcome. . . as long as they want to have fun!

PTO Fundraiser

Well, the first week of the PTO fundraiser is underway so we wanted to give you a sneak peek at what is in store for you! These brave families were the first to go so they get their images posted! We've already had so much fun and have really enjoyed watching these families interact. There are still spaces available for a 30 minute mini session this week. Please sign up or contact the PTO representative. Looking forward to meeting the rest of you.

Joy and Vince get married

Hurray! It's that time of year again and Joy and Vince helped kick off our wedding season in a fabulous way. What a beautiful April spring day Joy and Vince had to get married on the NJ shore, we were all smiling ear to ear over the lovely weather. They got married at Bonnet Island Estate in Manahawkin - what a gorgeous setting they chose. They loved it because of the openness and light that was there, it had such a beautiful simplicity - we just loved it. The beach is an important place for them, so this became the perfect setting for their wedding day. They were so casual and fun to work with, and the connections with the family and friends were so evident. The wedding festivities started way before the wedding day as many of the guests joined them at the shore during the week leading up to the big day.

Joy and Vince saw each other before the service, (you know how we love that) so we got to have some fun with them right away. Their wedding party was made up of some fabulous children and Vince's brother, so it was great watching them play together. They had told us one of the things they love about each other is watching each other as parents. And it is so evident that they are wonderful parents to their 2 lovely daughters.

After some family shots, the day just flowed from ceremony to cocktails to the party. Because of the beautiful weather, the boathouse could be fully open during the ceremony and the sun just streamed in. They told us the reception would be quite the party and they weren't kidding! Too much fun!

Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your special day Joy & Vince! We truly had a blast with you.

Happy dance resumes! I do believe we have a properly functioning website. Let us know if you have any further issues viewing it - thanks!

baby lovin'

I love what we do!! I feel so blessed by the work we do and the people we have met over the years. It is so wonderful staying in touch with our lovely couples over the years and watching them grow. We had the absolute pleasure of photographing this beautiful 12 day old on Saturday and seeing her parents again. We did their wedding in 2005, and it just brings tears to my eyes, watching them embrace parenthood. Thank you for the gift of staying connected with us.

Hold on to your hats...

Just a little teaser, but Stringer Photography is getting a make over. We are so close to launching our new web site and I'm bursting with anticipation. Just wanted to share...we'll be sure to let you know when we are up and running!

Little Gem

I was processing an order from a session in November and found this little gem... I just had to share. I've been smiling all day looking at it.
