Welcome To The World | Chestnut Hill Family Photographer

February 2, 2011

When I heard that this couple had had another baby and that they wanted me to photograph him, I was thrilled! I photographed his adorable big brother when I was just starting out, we did a session with him and his mama as a surprise gift for mommy. They were both so sweet and so much fun. And, they still are. There is so much love and joy in this family, you cannot help but smile when you watch them interact. They genuinely enjoy being with each other and it truly shows. Baby brother L is a lucky boy indeed to be joining this family. Big Brother N is already loving his new role, helping with the baby and zooming trucks around him happily.

D and K, it was my pleasure to get to spend some time with your family. I only wish that we’d been able to get baby L happy by himself so I could have documented his sweet baby peachiness. Congratulations to both of you on the birth of your second son! You are truly a blessed, lucky family.

And Then There Were Three | Philadelphia Baby Photographer

November 29, 2010

Yesterday, I was invited into the H Family’s warm, cozy, happy home. Older Sister and Big Brother welcomed New Baby Rory less than two weeks ago, and I had the honor of being the one to create his first professional portraits. He was so sweet, and so snuggly and darling. Older Sister loved the lion that I use to try to get older kids to look at me, but the real star of the show for her was a tiny hair clip she immediately named Clippy, who elicited many belly laughs from the sweet girl who was my “assistant”. Big Brother enjoyed grilled cheese sandwiches and the movie “Ratatouille”, but did not feel the same way about my camera. We had to adapt our plan, as sometimes (okay, usually) happens when you are a child photographer – the big kids didn’t really want to be photographed, but I got some adorable shots of them anyway.

This darling mama and daddy have got this three kid thing figured out already. I was in awe of their calm and ease. Their love of each other and their family shone through even the most hectic of moments yesterday, and the five of them were snuggling when I left. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

Hope you enjoy your peek, H Family!

“Are They Our Family, Mama?” – Delaware and Philadelphia Family Photographer

November 26, 2010

So asks my son when we spend time with this family. We are lucky to have found friends who feel like family in the D Family. My son loves both of these girls, he actually sleeps with two stuffed animals named after them. And, this mama, whom I met in the grocery store, has turned into someone who I feel blessed and lucky to call my friend. Moms, I’m sure you have one (or at least I hope you do!) of those friends who you just marvel at, the kind who always have a kind word, who never seem to lose their temper and let things roll off of their backs, who give the best advice. That’s her. And, she has a funny husband who loves being the daddy to these lovely girls. So, on a sunny day, we spent some time at the Tyler Arboretum getting some pretty photos for their walls. Hope you love them, D Family!

One Year Old | Chester County Baby Photographer

November 9, 2010

My, how the time flies. People always say this about their kids, I know I say it about my own. But, it’s a little funny to be saying it about someone else’s kid, right? I photographed this guy when he was 22 days old, older than I generally photograph newborns, but he was a star. Then, I saw him again when he was six months old – we put temporary tattoos on him, he smiled at me the whole session. And now he’s one. I can’t believe that I’ve known the fabulous K family for a whole year. I love when I get to go hang out with them for a session, though. Both Mom and Dad are fun, funny, creative and cool. Dad was kind enough to teach me about the show Sons of Anarchy, which I now love. And, Mom helped me to pick out my new camera bag a while back – we always talk pretties. We all actually always just talk. I love it. I’m so lucky to have met the K family. So, happy birthday to X! And, congrats on making it through your first year, K Parents.

Oh, and we can’t forget Stella. Crazy, tree climbing Stella, who lets X kiss her and gets nervous when I get too close to him. A boy and his dog is a treasure.

Happy | Philadelphia Family Photographer

September 23, 2010

“Being happy doesn’t mean that life is perfect; it means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.” Well, I would say that this family has seen the imperfections and has decided to just look past them. Because they are filled with love and joy that is easy to see. The beautiful mama in this family has been a friend of mine for many years. I will not sadden either of us by writing down the actual number of years. She has always been a happy and incredibly fun person. She married another person like herself, with kind eyes and a good heart, and in turn, produced two children in the same vein. It does my heart good to see the wonderful mother, loving partner and happy woman that she is today. Easy laughter is heard often in this family; they love silly and embrace spontaneity. If you get the chance to be in their company, jump at it. You will leave a better person for spending time with these people. I know I did.
