About The Traveling Photographer

If you're curious about The Traveling Photographer, this page will help. The official grand opening for the legal business named The Traveling Photographer was January 3rd, 1994.

Shooting portraits was my main emphasis for over 30 years. Now, I shoot more travel and landscape photos and pass on my  photography knowledge and experiences to students of all ages.

There's me, Bruce Lovelace, the owner of The Traveling Photographer.

I had just left my job with Americana Portraits, a company that specialized in photographing babies and children. I had a strong desire to create both a better experience and a better product for my customers.

People loved the convenience of having a professional portrait photographer come to their home, but I knew I could personalize and improve the enterprise as an individual.  

Benefits of Using Traveling Photographer

• I like to provide my clients with a great portrait experience in a familiar relaxed environment. That usually is their own home, their yard or at another one of their favorite spots.  
• You'll talk to me directly on the phone when you call, not an assistant.
• All of your photographs are edited and retouched by me, after we've discussed specific adjustments to your favorite images during your ordering session. I know it's time consuming and that a lot of photographers outsource those tasks, but it's important that we create photographs that you'll really love.  

History of Photography Experiences

I've been a photographer, at least at some level,  since 1970 when I did my first photo shoot.  It was in fourth grade during a class trip to the zoo.  

The pictures weren't very good, but I was still so excited to get those black and white prints back about a week later. I was intrigued by the ability to see the world around me and capture least a part of that with photography.  I thank my father for inspiring me.

Dad had a darkroom when he was a boy and he set me up with my first black and white darkroom at home. I first printed some of the old negatives from his childhood and several years later my dad and I  converted a bathroom in the basement into a large, fully equipped, color darkroom.  

We learned a lot together and also shared many frustrations in learning the intricacies of printing in color.

I never imagined at that time that I'd be interested in becoming a professional portrait photographer for a living and enjoy photographing people. I worked for 9 years with that baby photography company until I finally left them in 1993.

Nowadays, I really enjoy teaching others about the magic of photography. Although they're amazing tools to use, today's cameras can be intimidating to use

Areas That The Traveling Photographer Portrait Photography Served

The majority of my location photography was done in South Jersey, within 30 miles of Pitman, NJ, in Gloucester County.  Now, I travel to locations where my students can effectively learn photography.

I serve the entire Delaware Valley and I do cross the river occasionally and do photo shoots in Delaware and the areas surrounding Philadelphia, PA area.

The Traveling Photographer also heads "down the shore" for beach photography on Long Beach Island, Brigantine, Ocean City, Ventnor, Margate, Sea Isle City, Strathmere, The Wildwoods, Cape May, and Stone Harbor.

When I'm not creating portraits, I like shooting travel photos. I like hiking or running in the woods,  playing tennis, shooting landscape photographing, and running digital photography workshops.
