blog bio picture

 Hi and welcome to my blog!  My name is Marci Yochum and I am a custom portrait and commercial photographer living in Central New Jersey.  I absolutely love what I do and am very passionate about photography.  My blog is a place where I get to share a little about what goes on behind my camera both professionally and personally.  I will post sneak peaks from my recent session, announce new product offerings, limited time offers and more.  I will also share random thoughts often much to do about nothing from my journey as a wife, and a full time mother of two beautiful children who are the loves of my life and my inspiration.

In my photography I truly try to capture the simple (love of detail), lifestyle (candid), and the art (making the everyday...extraordinary) of you.  If you would like to see more of my work please visit my portfolio at Marci Yochum Photography.

Thanks for stopping by and come back as often as you like.

so this is jersey |new jersey child photographer | marci yochum photography

So this is Jersey….who knew?  I totally thought I would be doing 100% urban sessions when I moved here and boy was I wrong.  This place is loaded with barns, farms, and wooded areas, mostly private property of course so I will have to work on that.  In fact the picture below of my little girl was taken on the farm just behind our backyard.  Jackpot.  So we had been out searching for a dandelion field to shoot in for over an hour and with no sucess ended up here.  Needless to say my kids were over mom taking pictures by now but I still thought this one was cute (except for that sudden gust of wind).

moving day | marci yochum photography | new jersey child photographer

What a week we have had!  It has been a week full of last times and goodbyes.  Thanks to my friends and family for helping me out on our last days expecially the playdates for the kids while their toys were all packed up.  We soaked in as much of Cincy in the last weeks as we could including all our favorite resturants and friends.  We have had one busy week to say the least.  Moving day came and went and not only have we been doing the typical living out of boxes and eating every meal out but we have been to the doctor twice in the first week with pink eye, ear infections and bronchitis.  Seriously, am I being punked?  Can’t post without a few pics…

I thought the slogan for our moving company was very fitting and I can’t wait for the weather to warm up just a little so the kids and I can go scout out some new locations here in New Jersey.

M.I.A. | New Jersey Child Photographer | Marci Yochum Photography

I will be M.I.A. for at least a week and without a computer!  No computer, no email, no facebook…oh my.  I don’t know how I will survive.  No wait, I still have my camera…I’m good.  Moving day is finally here.  As soon as I am up and running I will update my website with my new email address and phone number.

out of town | new jersey child photographer | marci yochum photography

I will be out of town for a few days attending a photography workshop in Utah.  I so enjoy hanging out with other photographers and talking shop with people who share my obsession passion.  I always come back so inspired and loving photography even more!  I will return your emails and phone calls when I return on Friday.

happy valentine’s day | new jersey child photographer | marci yochum photography

I came home Friday and found these on my door step.  What a nice surprise!  Thank you honey.  I love tulips they remind me so much of spring.  I have really had spring fever lately too.  Not sure if it was spring weather we had earlier this week with that wicked wind again or all the spring catalogs that are coming in the mail.  Spring is just around the corner and I am so looking forward to getting outside and taking pictures again but for now…..Happy Valentine’s Day!

…and baby makes 3! | new jersey child photographer | marci yochum photography

And baby makes three…three boys that is.  This is the third time that I have photographed this family and this time I got to do a newborn session for their third child.  This little peanut was only 3 days old.  He was a good sleeper but only on his terms.  He didn’t want me to put him on his tummy much.  Here are a few from my session with this yummy newborn.
