Bonjour!

{ Bungalow Hotel • Goddess Boudoir Marathon }

Posted in Goddess, Goddess Boudoir Marathon, Long Branch, NJ

In February, I hosted my first Goddess Boudoir Marathon at the beautiful, Bungalow Hotel in Pier Village. It was fabulous day of shooting. The most excellent part, we had the entire hotel as our canvas! Image that! The hotel is gorgeous..and we were really able to incorporate Bungalow’s unique features in the photos. The rooms are excellent, each featuring a fireplace and chandelier, but the lobby was the most spectacular. It had huge rustic trees, fancy chairs, billiard table and more! A photographers dream!

Thanks so much to the fabulous ladies who took part and to my fabulous concierge Nathalie!

Here are some shots from the beautiful Miss S’ goddess session.

The lobby has beautiful ornate chairs…perfect for boudoir photos!

Billiards and boudoir:)

{ Sarah • Brooklyn Bridge Bridal }

Posted in Brooklyn, Wedding

These photos are some of my all time favorites. Sarah has been so much fun to work with…I’m kind of sad her wedding has passed!

We met up on a gorgeous Sunday in Brooklyn. The sky was a beautiful blue and white snow was piled on the ground- perfect for a winter wedding bridal session. Snow- but not actually snowing! Sarah put on her fabulous gown and cowgirl boots…and we headed the Brooklyn bridge! My amazing Mike came too to help with all the props (thank you sweetheart.) It was a great day…and we only got yelled at once by a cyclist:)

Thanks again Sarah for being such a wonderful bride- you make me love what I do even more!

{ Julie/Jessica • Need your vote for Paris! }

Posted in Goddess, Personal

Happy Monday! Today I feel like I know what it feels like to be on American Idol. Nooo I’m not singing but I do have a number …and I need your vote! I am entered into the Boudoir Divas Paris contest to win $$$ towards my upcoming workshop. This is going to be tough because each contestant has an amazing entry. I feel lucky just to be up there with them:)

Vote here: http://www.thedivasblog.com/2010/03/paris-contest-we-need-your-vote/

My post includes 3 photos. One is my inner diva. Two is why I love Paris. Three is an image that represents love. Two is my favorite because I had alot of fun dressing up as Julia Child (The art of French Cooking)- mainly because I feel her love for Paris and the food! Yes french food is amazing!!! If any of you saw the movie Julie & Julia you would know what I mean. When I think about Paris…its instant Julia Child voice!!! Ooohhh j’taime paris! That and I am tall and goofy like her…so I didn’t have to go far when channeling my inner Julia, lol.

Please, vote #9…

xoxo

{ Great Expectations • Samantha Jane • Newborn Portrait }

Posted in Child Portrait, Personal, Photography

It was a Thursday evening. My sister Jennie, her husband Tom, Mike, and I all waited at the diner for THE phone call. My sister and I teased about who would get the call first…you see, we were waiting to hear from my parents about the birth of our first niece or nephew. Jennies’ phone rang as my text ringer chimed….”IT’S A GIRL!” We were all jumping out of our seats! I guess my parents know Jennie and I well, cause they dialed at the exact same time! We immediately paid the check and rushed over to Riverview to congratulate my brother Chris and his beautiful wife Jenn….and to welcome the newest member of the Morrisy Clan! Dearest Samantha Jane.

Words can’t express the feelings that were rushing through all of us that night- all I can say is there was so much love and family pride present. To see my brother, holding his baby girl…was the most amazing thing ever. He looked so humbled by the new life before him. I think we all were- such a miracle.

She is beautiful- and I am not just saying that cause she is my niece! I am simply in love with her. Isn’t her red hair is the cutest?!! Here are some of her newborn portraits…but there will be many more to come!
