A South Jersey Bris for Sam

Monday, December 22nd, 2008


This was a first for me and JPG Photography, and yet a proud moment to share. A bris is not an easy ceremony for a man to be around. It is, how do I say, painful. (understatement) But I was moved by the tradition and spirituality throughout the event. You could tell how much this meant to the family, and yet at the same time, how difficult it is to put your newborn through. The range of emotions was smiles to tears. It was beautiful.

I had the pleasure of documenting this important Jewish tradition for the Schuster’s, and I work with the new dad, Alan, at the Courier-Post. The family was a complete pleasure, and even though the weather in Haddonfield wasn’t the best, you’ll see that Alan and I went out for a few shots with his son, Sam.

It was an honor. Thank you all for sharing your culture. You taught this Philadelphia Wedding Photographer a great deal. I’ll always remember being with you all with and for Sam.

Best,

Joe G

Photojournalistic family portraits outside Philadelphia

Monday, October 13th, 2008

What a perfect portrait photography weekend! (Couldn’t ignore the alliteration.) So much going on. October is certainly the month everyone wants pictures, but that’s good for me. I’m a fall guy. I love mid 60s weather. It just so happened that Sunday, it stayed in the 70s…it was like May or June. No matter, it was a great day for pictures and having a blast. Just so nice to be out of the office, right!

I’ve been blessed with some great families this weekend. One was the Ginter’s (see post coming Tuesday) and the other are the Shaffer’s. Lori, Mike and their adorable son Drew. This 3-year-old loved the camera, but not in a hamm or obnoxious way. He’s just so darn cute! Come on, look at these pictures. Don’t you just want to take him home, too!

We had a brilliant pumpkin picking at Johnson’s Corner Farm in Medford, New Jersey just outside Philadelphia, PA, and not far from where I work in Cherry Hill at the Courier Post. (Also had the lead art and a lead story Sunday.)

Lori and Mike were perfect. They had fun. They laughed. They were patient, too…(Drew only liked the dirty pumpkins…lol)

This is just a sample of the great moments I’m proud to share with the Shaffer’s. I hope to be around more to watch Drew grow up! Thanks again! Such a pleasure.

Come on…look at this face. Pretty darn cute!
