Contest: A New Jersey Autumn Tradition
Click the picture — or click here — for Doriann and Frank’s family session. When the show is finished, it will jump back here for a fun little contest. Turn up the sound!
Isn’t Doriann beautiful? I love this picture!
Their daughter is so fun to photograph!
She’s very expressive. (Here, she was reaching into the tomato vines to pick the perfect tomato, but I think she was worried about the possibility that there might be a spider eyeing her prize.)
Forget tomatoes! I loved the cherry apple slushie at Wightman’s Farms. BEST cherry apple slushie EVER! (Thanks, Frank and Doriann!)
This is one of my favorites of Frank and his daughter. They’re so cute together.
I like to take this sort of picture on a lifestyle shoot to use as potential background for book pages. (Love the red barn in the background.)
Here’s another one of Doriann that I love! I don’t know who does her hair, but WOW, she has gorgeous hair!
That’s Babette, their very sweet doggie.
She changed into her Dorothy costume so I could get some pictures for my Halloween promo. Thanks! You look great!
HERE’S THE CONTEST: What famous actor does Frank look like? The slide show song should be a pretty good hint for all you blog readers that used to go to movies back in the 1990’s, before we all had kids that kept us from going to movies. If you guess correctly, Doriann and Frank win a free 8×10 of this picture! And YOU win major praise in the blog! Good luck!
Ok, the movie is Mermaids. Is it Bob Hoskins? I hope so, because the picture is really great!! :o)

LAUREN, you’re right! Congratulations! YOU ROCK!! (That’s the major blog praise, as promised!) I love that movie. Frank is way taller than Bob Hoskins though, just thought you might like to know!
Doriann — so glad you love your slide show!!! You can thank Lauren for your free 8×10! Be on the lookout today for an email from me once I get your full gallery up in my online store! Love, jules

This slide show is beyond amazing. How captivating. [Frank and Doriann’s daughter] is our “special girl” named after Mom’s “Bubba” and you really showed her! Her PopPop will be proud to see her with that prized tomatoe that she planted with him. Again, thanks for a super show of our future memories. [edited to take the little girl’s name out — jws]

I was assuming the reference was to Nicholas Cage, not Bob Hoskins. Sorry about that Frank. Beautiful pictures.

Ok, I PROMISE I didn’t just do that to correct your spelling. I SWEAR I didn’t do that on purpose.

I have just been informed that he wrote “awesomi” which is, he says, some kind of Lego-guy slang for “awesome.” U-huh.
