Baby P | Downingtown, PA Lifestyle Newborn Session

This past October, I was so excited to be able to photograph my cousin and his family as they welcomed baby P home :)  Baby P has two fun older brothers and they take such good care of him.  We bounced between bedrooms and had a very casual documentary style shoot with some "posed" lifestyle shots in between.  My posing is always child-led.  I will position a family or sibling shot how the kids are most comfortable and try for a picture with everyone looking, but after that, I let the kids decide what's next.  Sometimes they like to read a book, sing a song, kiss the toes, or jump on the bed!  My favorite pictures are always the ones that happen spontaneously and naturally... and kids make this part of my job easy <3

Documentary Park Session | Downingtown, PA Family Photographer

I love doing sessions that have a more documentary feel to them.  For this session, we met at one of the family's favorite parks and played for a bit before taking some more posed photos.  This family has three kids three and under and they had so much fun letting the girls take the lead.  It was fun to get to know all of their personalities and get a few laughs here and there.
