Summer Engagement Session at Batsto Village

Summer Engagement Session at Batsto Village

Alyssa + Brian | Hammonton, NJ

This summer has absolutely FLOWN by, and has got us all playing catch-up this holiday weekend!   I have been very fortunate and have shot SO many beautiful sessions this summer, despite the upsetting start to this bizarre year.  The last few weeks have been such a whirlwind of shooting senior sessions, as well as meeting with my lovely wedding clients to discuss their revised wedding plans for next year.  I am so grateful for the chance to have photographed Alyssa and Brian at the beautiful Batsto Village!  Thankfully, they were able to keep their original wedding date for this fall, and I am so happy for them!

Social distancing was VERY much in effect at Batsto, and we were able to keep our distance from everyone enjoying the beautiful weather that day.  We explored this historic site in Wharton State Forest in Southern New Jersey, and found some beautiful and unique locations throughout our session!  The backdrop of buildings that are hundreds of years old really added to the beauty of this dreamy session.  I can’t WAIT  for you to see these photos!!

Riley Sheehan | Jessica Briggs Seniors

This was my first solo senior session in over three months!  It felt so great to be back.  Riley is one of my Senior Spokesmodels, and I just KNEW that this session would be special!  This season has been SO hard for so many class of 2021 incoming seniors to navigate, and we definitely needed to stretch our wings and get creative.  We had the BEST time walking around Philadelphia together for this shoot!  She was so willing to go with my “out of the box” ideas for this particular session, and in turn gave me wonderful poses and we captured some really fun moments as a result!

It was an early morning session, and so the sun had just begun to cut through the haze hanging over Philly, creating a wonderful glow to the sky that you just don’t see anywhere else.  We were racing against the hot weather…it was approaching 90 degrees that day…but Riley absolutely ROCKED her session!  The light was hazy and dreamy, creating a GORGEOUS filter effect that lended itself to the slight whisper of fall in the air.   I have so many favorites from this session!  Enjoy scrolling through!!
