When I found out I’d be photographing a little angel named Sage, I just knew I had to do some earthy tones. Sage was styled in a sage green wrap, with greenery strewn in the background, then transitioned over to a few other looks to reflect her dad’s hobbies of hunting and fishing, and oh deer, was she adorable!
Palmer Avery - Newborn Session
Sweet Baby Palmer melted my heart with her smiles, as did big sister Kinsley. She was a natural with her new baby sissy. This session had all the dreamy pastels and tender moments. I can’t wait to watch Palmer grow this year as I document her milestones.
Mabel Irene - Newborn Session
I first met this sweet family just a month ago for their maternity family session. They didn’t know what they were having, but they did know that the baby was to come any day. I waited to hear news, expecting it within the next week or two, but instead I didn’t hear from them for a little while. As it turns out, little Miss Mabel was overdue, which is often uncommon when the child is not the first in the family. She came when she was good and ready, and I was relieved to hear that she came into the world safe and healthy.
Her name is one you don’t hear often. It’s a nod to relatives on both sides of the family, and perfectly vintage. I love the old-fashioned names that are coming back in style! Little Mabel is so loved by her parents and big brother Sam. I can’t wait to see her again in six short months!
Luca & Laken Are Six Months! - Baby Photography Session
After pushing their 6 month photos back two months due to quarantine, I was so excited to finally photograph the adorable Luca and Laken for their Six Month (but really almost Eight Month) session. It was so fun to see how they have grown since their newborn session this past fall. They were so sweet, smiley, and playful. I was happy to see that they weren’t afraid of me in my mask!
They hung in there for the entire session in good spirits. Can’t wait to see this duo again for their First Birthday!
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!
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!
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!
Adelyn is 1! - First Birthday Photography
I first met Adelyn when she was still in her mommy’s tummy for her maternity session. I then got to photograph her as a newborn, six-month-old, and now as a sweet one-year-old. I’m sure her parents would agree, the time has flown by! It has been great getting to know her and her family. Adelyn is always dressed so beautifully for her sessions, and never forgets her best accessory…her smile!
Reece is 1! - First Birthday Photography
This little sweetheart is my niece Reece! She was born just a little over two months after her cousin (my son) Dominic, and together they are the sweetest, smiliest, most chill babies ever! They have both taken on that second child mentality of going with the flow because, well, they have no choice with their busy older siblings. It was so fun to be pregnant alongside my sister, and to watch our babies go through their first year together. Now they are both 1, and heading toward many more milestones. The best part is they will reach them side by side. Reece will be celebrating her 1st b-day with a “Bee Day” party this weekend!
I can’t wait to watch you continue to grow, Sweetheart! Aunt C loves you!
Kinsley is 1! - First Birthday Photography
This sweet little darling is ONE, and she is certainly the (pine)apple of Mommy and Daddy’s eye. Kinsley was smiley for her session, and had fun dancing to that hit baby song “Baby Shark!” She also stunned us all when she stood up and took her first steps at the end of the session. So cool to capture such a moment!
Happy 1st Birthday, Kinsley!
Veronica Ann - Newborn Photography
This darling girl and her precious fur brother Bash, were so well-behaved for their in-studio session. She slept soundly for most of it, and he was very concerned about his sister at all times. It was so sweet. When he decided on his own to be in the background of that first shot, I knew we were capturing a perfect candid moment and kept shooting away.
What a beautiful family, and perfect baby girl!
Adelyn is Six Months! - Baby Photography
Adelyn looked stunning in her dreamy, light and airy six month portraits. I photographed her mommy’s maternity session, and Adelyn’s newborn session, so I’ve enjoyed watching her grow from a bump to a beautiful baby girl! She was flawless against the white-on-white studio background. I can’t wait to see her for her first birthday session in another six months!
Stella Avery - Newborn Photography
I didn’t even know that Stella was a redhead when I decided to wrap green eucalyptus around a bucket for her newborn session. After seeing her next to it, I realized how perfectly it went with her red hair, as it resembles shamrocks. She was such a perfect angel for her session! After settling in and finding her comfy spot, she slept soundly. What a pleasure it was to meet her!
Ella is One! - First Birthday Photography
I first met Ella when she was still in her mommy’s tummy. It has been such a pleasure to watch her grow from bump, to newborn, to baby, to one-year-old! She served many different looks for her First Birthday Session. She was a boho beauty, pretty in pearls, and precious in her party hat! I love when parents bring a variety of looks to play with for portrait sessions. It makes the pictures so diverse, and gives us a chance to showcase different styles.
Happy Birthday, Sweet Ella!
Kate is One! - First Birthday Photography
Baby Kate was taking everything in at her birthday session. She was serious and sweet, but that can make for some gorgeous photos - I mean, look at those big baby blues! She looked right into the camera, and was dressed perfectly, which was no surprise since her parents are two of the best-dressed people I know! Happy Birthday (next month), Sweet Girl!
Harper is One! - First Birthday Photography
It was a Winter ONE-derland with Harper in the studio! The (almost) New Years baby was pretty in her pink tutu fit for the tiniest sugar plum fairy. She is so darling! I’ve enjoyed photographing her brother for the past few years, and am happy to add her to my cute clientele. Happy Birthday, Sweetie!
Quinn is Six Months! - Baby Photography
Oh little Miss Quinn, your smile melts me! You were so very sweet for your session. I told Quinn’s mama that I’d love to set Quinn up with my 4-month-old in 20 years, as I felt they had the same happy, sweet temperament. Quinn was an absolute pleasure and joy to photograph!
Charlotte is One! - First Birthday Photography
I loved photographing Charlotte as a newborn, six-month-old, and now a big girl! She was able to wear the same headband for all three of her sessions, which makes her photos so special and unique. Happy 1st Birthday, Charlotte!
