Laura - Senior Portrait Mini Session

The Class of 2020 has a special place in my heart for what they’re experiencing right now. I couldn’t imagine having those milestones of senior year taken away so suddenly, especially after all the work they’ve undoubtedly put into reaching them.

I first photographed Laura in the summer of 2019, and we had an amazing session. It was a beautiful evening, and we covered three different looks for her portraits. Then, when coronavirus hit, and everything came screeching to a halt, Laura learned that she would not receive the JROTC portraits that the school had planned on taking, so her mom reached out to me for one more session. I was happy to help her out, so she’d be able to have some pictures of herself in her uniform before she was scheduled to return it.

Our session was super quick and easy, but so important so that she could have these memories captured. I’d be happy to help out any 2020 senior who would like just a few more photos to add to their senior picture gallery. Whether it be a school uniform, a prom look, or a cap and gown…please reach out to me if you’re looking to schedule a mini session to capture these senior moments that deserve to be remembered.

Knox is One! - First Birthday Photography

It’s been 2 months since I’ve photographed anyone, and it felt so good to be back at it with sweet Baby Knox as my first client since our “new normal” began. I last photographed Knox as a newborn in his home. For his First Birthday session, we ultimately planned for an outdoor location due to the new restrictions, and we had such a lovely evening for the session with beautiful purple blossoms and streams of golden sunlight. Knox was super smiley, and thankfully, wasn’t at all afraid of the lady in the mask photographing him.

Happy 1st Birthday, Knox!

Rachel - Senior Portrait Session

I really enjoyed photographing this stunningly beautiful high school senior, and learning about her time competing in Irish Dance. The stories of the trips and long days competing brought back memories of my own competitive dance days. Rachel started her session in a gorgeous shade of green, and later changed to her Irish dance costume, which features a golden butterfly. I learned that each Irish dance costume is slightly different and customized to feature a design that relates to the dancer. Many of the costumes, like Rachel’s, are hand-made in Ireland.

Congratulations on all your accomplishments, Rachel!

Annie is Three! - Child Photography

Children like Annie make my job easy! She was an absolute joy to photograph - so effortlessly sweet, and a good listener too! I love her dress which matched her birthday theme of THREE-historic times.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Annie!

Adelyn is One! - First Birthday Photography

Adelyn is One! This girl knows how to celebrate! She prefers to just dive right in to her cake, and savor each bit. A metaphor for life! Sometimes we can learn a lot from babies. :) Happy 1st Birthday, Adelyn! It was a pleasure having you in the studio!

Peyton is One! - First Birthday Photography

Sweet Little Peyton brought the smiles for her First Birthday Session, and my favorite part of it was the one singular tooth poking through her gums. Sooo cute! A moment in time her parents are sure to want to look back on forever. It was a pleasure capturing this sweetie and her sweet-tooth!

Happy 1st Birthday, Peyton!

Harper is Two! - Child Photography

I love Harper’s sweet little “cheese!” smile! Her beautiful blue eyes popped against the blue sky for her rainbow-themed mini session, and that little grin made her almost TWO cute to handle!

Connor is One! - First Birthday Photography

First Birthday sessions are some of my favorite sessions! One-year-olds are always filled with so much personality, and it’s always fun to see where that will take the session. Connor’s bright blue eyes are so dreamy to capture in photographs! Happy 1st Birthday, Little Guy! I hope to see more of you in the next year too!

Maximus Cain - Newborn Photography Session

Baby Max was my last session of 2019! He arrived a few weeks earlier than planned, and is so loved! It was evident that his mommy and older siblings, especially his sisters, are absolutely smitten with him.

Welcome to the world, Max!

Grayson is One! - First Birthday Photography

Before Christmas, and in the midst of Holiday Session madness, this little guy turned one! I got to spend some time with him in the studio for his fun little cake smash. He was on the move, crawling all over the place, but the cake caught his interest, and he very calmly examined the icing. Grayson had a First Year Special package with me, so I was able to photograph him as a newborn, 6-month-old, and 1-year-old! It’s been a pleasure watching him grow!

Happy 1st Birthday, Grayson!

The P Family - Family Photography Session

The P Family had lots of gorgeous shots during their session. Sweet little Millie was such a doll - I love her outfit! It was a pleasure meeting them for a magical sunset session in Cranberry Woods!

Aubrey Mae - Newborn Photography

Sweet Baby Aubrey was such a joy to photograph. Such a content baby. Her big sister Mackenzie was equally as fun with her sweet personality. Such a beautiful family, in an equally gorgeous home. I used to be nervous about in-home sessions because there are so many things out of the photographer’s control…mainly lighting and background! But now I look at it as a fun challenge for me to find the perfect shot, and I always enjoy the results. Shooting at home gives the client a chance to be super comfortable, and their ease and happiness comes across in the pictures more naturally. Plus, they can incorporate some elements that may be too big to transport to the studio, like that gorgeous wicker bassinet, which was used by Aubrey’s daddy as a baby. I always love a family heirloom in photos.

Thank you for having me, C Family! Welcome to the world, Aubrey Mae!

The S Family - Family Portrait Session

My friend Mandy and her adorable family are always so fun to photograph. Look at those little boys! They’re so sweet. The setting sun through the trees was the perfect setting to compliment these warm smiles.

The C Family - Family Portrait Session

The C Family got one of the last warm days of the Fall for their family portraits. The sun was shining, and the leaves were still vibrantly falling from the trees. It was a beautiful background for a beautiful family. Their boys are so adorable!

Luca John & Laken Nicole - Newborn Photography

Twenty tiny fingers and twenty tiny toes…Twins! Laken and Luca were a dream to photograph! They arrived with full tummies and slept so well the whole time. They’re so, so sweet, and filled the studio with the most delicious newborn smell! I can’t wait to photograph them again in six months!

The O Family - Family Photography

A few weeks ago I photographed my beautiful sister, brother-in-law, and nieces! I love them so! We really lucked out with a perfect day. The Fall foliage was beginning to pop, and the air was a comfortable 70 degrees. Oh how I miss these days already. The sun was beginning to set, thus giving us a perfect glow.

Madeline is One! - First Birthday Photography

It’s almost Monday, so I figured what better time to share Miss Madeline’s First Birthday Session, which is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of anyone who views it. Madeline’s session was a blast to photograph. Her parents wanted three distinct looks for her pictures; candid playtime, posed cake smash, and outdoors with family. They were kind enough to let me know what they were looking for, but also let me be creative, which I so appreciate! Her birthday theme is “Some-Bunny is One!” which I absolutely love! Her mom brought the cutest props and outfits for Baby Maddie, including a bunny ear headband, and a perfect bunny ear cake topper! I just love the attention to detail. Plus they brought along the most important thing…Grandma! Grandparents always seem to get the biggest smiles from the babies! Grandma certainly did her job, and I was able to get some adorable smiles from this sweetheart!

These photos are only some of the amazing shots we were able to get from Miss Maddie. She was a complete joy to photograph, and I hope to work with her again! Happy 1st Birthday, Maddie!

Clare Jean - Newborn Photography

Sweet Clare was an angel for her session. She slept peacefully as I chatted with her mommy and grandma, and learned about the unique story behind her name. Clare was named for County Clare in Ireland, a place her parents had visited together. Clare, of course, donned a green swaddle to pay homage to her Irish roots, and also brought along some other props with a story. The stuffed dog, in particular, was a sentimental prop for her family, as they lost their dog Rooney shortly before Clare was born. He looked a lot like the stuffed animal. Clare also wore a Phillies headband and baby booties for her dad who is originally from Philadelphia. But as Clare’s mom made clear, that is the only Philly team Clare will cheer on.

Welcome to the world, Clare! You were a dream to photograph!

The L Family - Child Photography Session

Vera and David were too cute during their Fall session to mark their birthdays, and celebrate their new dog Freckles! You would never know it was actively raining during their session. These kids kept their smiles on, never complained, and luckily, didn’t show any raindrops on their adorable outfits! Speaking of, I loved the color scheme their mom chose. The earth tones looked gorgeous against the golden fields and trees just beginning to change.

Avelyn Rose - Newborn/Family Photography

The C Family looked perfect for their session with newborn daughter Avelyn. Big sister Graciela was also turning two just a few days after Avelyn was born, so their session was celebrating that special milestone as well. I absolutely LOVED the color scheme and coordinating sister outfits they chose. Miss Avelyn was such a good baby, and slept sweetly the entire time, even when her big sister was playing with pumpkins all around her! Happy Birthday to both girls!
