Memorial Day in Bay Head, NJ

The Hartshorn Memorial Day week­end is tra­di­tion­ally spent in Bay Head, NJ with the Laymon fam­ily and this year was no exception. As we drove into town I felt the wor­ries and pres­sures of life melt away. Our fam­ily has grown to love this charm­ing lit­tle town and our time spent here each sum­mer is so special. Over the… Read more »

With Mac at a por­trait ses­sion on Mother’s Day, I had the girls all to myself. It was such a beau­ti­ful day that I decided to spend some qual­ity time with them in the great New Jersey out­doors.

Our new stu­dio man­ager hails from Louisville, Kentucky and has a annual fam­ily party to cel­e­brate the Derby. Always eager to expe­ri­ence some­thing new, the girls and I joined in the fun.
