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.

    Marci

what to wear? | marci yochum photography | new jersey family photographer

Posted in Baby, Business, Children, Seniors, family, high school seniors

Back to school time is fast approaching here in New Jersey and that means so is Fall/Holiday family picture season.  Fall is one of my favorite times of year.  I love all our fall family traditions of apple picking, jumping in piles of raked leaves, bonfires, and yes…fall clothes!  Who doesn’t love the way they feel in a brand new outfit especially on the first day of school?  

I frequently get asked what to wear for family photos.   In order to create interest in your family images it is important to coordinate outfits without everyone wearing the same thing.  You can do this easily by adding layers, textures (denium, tweed, ruffles) and accessories!  Here’s a little sample of some fall outfits put together using these simple tips.

stylish sisters | marci yochum photography | new jersey family photographer

Posted in Children, family

I absolutely loved this mini-session.  Mom did a fabulous job styling her girls with Crewcuts and Target none the less.  Anyone who knows me knows that I just adore Crewcuts clothing.   I picked up some balloons and flowers for her session and lucky me they matched perfectly.  Last time I photographed this family I was in  my first year of business and the youngest, little A, wasn’t even born yet.    Boy does time fly.  It was so much fun to see them again…they are super sweet little girls and beautiful too!

summer siblings | marci yochum photography | new jersey/cincinnati family photographer

Posted in Children, family

I first met and photographed this family right before (and I mean right before) I moved to New Jersey last year.  I still remember it was freezing that day and these kiddos went outside barefoot.  Well as luck would have it, it was 95+degrees the day of our mini-session.   Mom and Dad already has 3 beautiful gallery wrapped canvases from our last session so for this one Mom wanted a playful fun-loving session to show each of her children’s personalilites.  They were so cute together…I am quite sure they have some sibling rivalries now and then however I could tell they really love each other.  I have so many great sibling shots of them…I seriously couldn’t get them to take a bad one if I tried.  L, D and J you did awesome!  Here are a just a few of my favorites.

the groom | marci yochum photography | new jersey wedding photographer

Posted in wedding

I shot my first wedding!  Thanks to Galina I had the opportunity to second shoot for one of her weddings last Friday.  It was a lot of fun…a lot more work than chasing even a family of toddlers around… but really a lot of fun!   My job as a second shooter was to focus on the groom and to cover the wedding day from another view/perspective.  I have a ton of images from the day to edit and will post more soon.  I was really loving black and white on these.

Up first a few of the groom….meet Edward.

puppy love | marci yochum photography | new jersey pet photographer

Posted in Personal, pets

Oliver is 8 months old already.  He still follows me from room to room and lays at my feet.  I can’t even run upstairs to grab some laundry without his help.  He loves to play fetch with his beloved tennis ball yet he pretty much devours the rest of his toys in a day.  So far it’s just his toys and so we are good with that.  It’s hard not to spoil him because he is just soooo darn cute!  L♥ve him.
