Welcome to the brand spanking new Shoot Scoop! The Official Laura Bruen Photography Blog. Make that - the brand spanking newly "redesigned" Shoot-Scoop! I hope you enjoy it.
If your interested in photography services, please see my website, Laura Bruen Photography (which will be getting an update shortly as well).
This blog will be the informal place where I'll post info about my sessions with fabulous clients, fine art photography and other personal interests such as interior design. You will find quite a bit of categories on my blog. The Farm is a slightly protected category of our discoveries while renovating our 1856 Farmhouse. (I invite you to follow along, but for full access you'll need to tell me who you are - just ask).
Lastly, if this is your first time here (or your 500th time here) and you haven't said hello yet, please do! I love meeting new people. Feel free to browse my most recent work either chronologically (home page down, most recent first) or by category.
Lots of fun things happenning this year that you won't want to miss, so do make sure you subscribe to my RSS FEED to be notifed of updates. I'm also on Twitter and Facebook.
NOTE: For those of you with those tiny monitors, time to upgrade your
resolution. This puppy looks much better on at least a 1024 x 768 or larger.
Adjust that monitor for at least a 1024 x 768, please? Thankyouverymuch.
I usually get surprised responses when people hear that I shoot communion portraits. My answer is always *YES*, but they are a bit “different”.
Olivia is amazingly beautiful in her Communion gown, just like a princess!
Mom got this as a Canvas Gallery wrap for her room. 20 x 20 square (cropped out much above her head) and it came out STUNNING!
Wish I got a shot of it, will have to ask her to take a photo of Olivia’s room.
God Bless little sisters too 
Congratulations Olivia!
Luciana & Adam got married! I had such a great time at their wedding at Bonnet Island Estate in April (yes…I said APRIL…have I mentioned I’m wayyyyy behind on blogging???). Luciana is just SO sweet and Adam is so funny. The crowd was lots of fun and every detail beautiful!

Luciana is beautiful!
Adam, the Groom. He’s pretty happy here.
The Boathouse.
Warm, natural light was pouring through the windows.
Candy Buffet. Yum.
Father of the Groom was dancing like I have never seen before! It was almost as if he never touched the ground! Amazing!!
Fun time, had by all!
Luciana & Adam, huge congratulations and thank you so much for having me shoot this awesome event in your lives! It was a pleasure working with you. Big shout-out to my Assistant Michelle!
I am not sure for how long my contact form on Shoot-Scoop hasn’t been working, but I just discovered it. For all I know it could’ve happened a week after launch! Anyway, if someone has sent something through this website, assume I didn’t get it and please contact me here.
UGH, how annoying!
I was fortunate enough to work with Melissa of Pampered Bride Weddings and her husband Jay. They are expecting (and she’s 5 days late I might add) a baby boy! Rocco! Since I’m so behind on blogging, I thought maybe it is only right for me to get her maternity portraits up before Rocco decides to show himself, which may very well be what he’s waiting for. In an effort to encourage labor, here are some of my favorites from her maternity session!
Hot Momma!
She’s stunning.
Beloved Keepsake.
She reminds me of Angelina in this one!
Hmmm. Nice shoes. I can never resist.
In love, for sure. I just love this image.
Alright now, Rocco, your mom and dad have now been blogged! Hope you make your appearance soon! Big thanks to Melissa and Jay, I had a great time with you.
And to all of you brides out there, if you need a Wedding Planner, check out Pampered Bride Weddings - they are *so* creative and have put together some amazing events!!
I had a fabulous time photographing the wedding of Phylis and John at the James Ward Mansion in April. This couple was so fun to work with and their wedding was intimate and great! They both have really entertaining family and friends. As a photographer, you simply cannot ask for more!
The James Ward Mansion, Westfield, NJ
As usual, Phylis, the Bride, is crazy-excited to see me!!!
Psst…is he here yet? Taking a peak!
I am fond of historic buildings and architecture. Phylis, having figured that out, instructed me to be liberal to shooting details of the venue I shot a lot.
The super cool team of All Star Entertainment
The Chapel
Who, me?
Hmm….
Clearly a great time was had by all! Phylis and John, thank you so much for having me shoot your wedding. I had a blast! Big thanks to my Assistant, Patricia!
Emma graduated kindergarten! Time flies. My beautiful baby girl.
Sorry for those who’s heads are cut off, I was just a visiting parent in the audience, I was not responsible for arranging the kids
How GREAT are kids? Sigh, they’re just all awesome!
You just have gotta love some of these expressions!
