The S Family | Chester County Family Photographer
M is One! | Main Line Child and Lifestyle Photographer
I worked with this family this past spring and had the pleasure of hanging out with them again for M's one year pictures. We did some birthday shots inside before heading out to play in the backyard. M was a happy one year old! He had an amazing smile and a contagious laugh. We had a great time goofing off and capturing the essence of being one.
The K Family | Chester County Family Photographer
We lucked out with some gorgeous fall colors for this family session. I really think it may have been the peak for fall foliage and we picked a great location to capture it. T is absolutely in love with his little sister and gives some of the best hugs around... and M was such a good sport about receiving all those big brother hugs. She was also quite a fan of all the leaves ;) I loved working with the K family!
The C Family | Chester County Family Photographer
You would never guess it, but as I drove over to this session, it was pouring rain!! Earlier that day it had even snowed/hailed. We waited it out and ended up with a gorgeous evening! I can't wait to share this gallery with this sweet mom and her adorable family.
The T Family | Longwood Gardens Chester County PA
I love Longwood Gardens in the fall and it's one of my favorite spots to shoot at with young toddlers. There is a lot to see and plenty of paths to explore. We had a beautiful fall morning a few weeks ago and little A was probably the fastest nearly one-year-old that I ever had the pleasure of chasing around!
The J Family | Delaware County Family Lifestyle Photographer
This family has been so patient waiting for their images! I was so close to finishing them up and then we had "fall back" and well... we all know how that goes with kids. P was such a sweetheart and so easygoing during our evening session. She has the most sparkly eyes and just adored her mom and dad. We captured a great variety of images and P was so tuckered out by the end, she fell asleep in her mama's arms. It doesn't get any better than that!
Baby L | Wayne Family Lifestyle Photographer
I had a great time working with little L and her three big sisters! We had a beautiful morning for a backyard session and even had time to squeeze in a few indoor shots at the end.
The S Family | Phoenixville Lifestyle Photographer
I always have the best time working with this family! A and E really keep me on my toes and keep the energy flowing. I always think that leads to the best pictures though... and it definitely lets their personalities shine through. After rescheduling for rain, we couldn't have picked a more beautiful night. It worked out perfectly. I'm so happy I get to capture these girls as they grow!
Family Lifestyle Session | Chester County Photographer at Ridley Creek State Park
I'm an over-sharer by nature, but especially when it comes to photos of babies and children. I really can't narrow them down! Each little moment in time is my favorite... until I see the next one. I overshare because what if that was the day the "clapping" phase ended? Or the last day they only had a couple of teeth? Or the last time they did the scrunched-nose-smile? I always have to remind myself that the nights may be... well… l o n g. But, babyhood is fleeting. Happy birthday, sweet O. I can't believe you have one year under your belt already!
Baby R | West Chester PA Lifestyle Newborn Photographer
A few weeks ago, I spent the morning with baby R and her family. She was so loved and so sleepy during our session. We took a walk at the beginning of our session and I loved that we were able to capture some shots outside!
Baby C | Bryn Mawr Lifestyle Newborn Photographer
Henry is 6 months! | Main Line Baby and Family Photographer
I had such a wonderful time with this family a couple weeks ago as we celebrated H's 6 month milestone!
Baby A | Main Line Lifestyle Newborn Photographer
I spent a beautiful morning with this family a few weeks ago. We played outside a bit first and then came inside to cool of and take some more pictures of sweet A.
Baby N | Philadelphia Newborn Lifestyle Photographer
I spent a wonderful morning with this new family of three a couple of weeks ago! Mom and Dad were so full of love for this sweet little guy.
The M Family | Chester County Lifestyle Family Photographer
I've known Leslie for a long time and was so excited when she touched base about taking photos of her family. I loved exploring Longwood Gardens with her family and meeting her two adorable kids!
Fun at the park! | Chester County Lifestyle Photographer
I had SO much fun chasing (yes, chasing!) around these two little ladies at Kerr Park a couple weeks ago! I loved documenting everything about their 2's while they giggled, climbed, and shared lots of hugs.
The D Family | Main Line Lifestyle Photographer
I love when I have the opportunity to do a true lifestyle session with very few posed images! I had a great time with the D family last month. They had two adorable kids and had a great time just being together as a family!
Muffin Baking! | storytelling
I know many of you may be wondering, what exactly is a storytelling session? And, what would the images look like? Well, each session will be different, but I wanted to share a lot of images from a recent session so you'd have a better idea of the type of images you'd see in a gallery. I had SO much fun with the B family while they baked muffins with their mom and grandparents. At one point, they realized they were out of apple juice, so mom imporvised and that was probably everyone's favorite part. "Real life" moments are definitely my favorite ones to capture and share!
Storytelling Sessions | Chester County Lifestyle Photographer
I fell in love with photography soon after my first daughter was born. I spent hours upon hours reading about photography during late night nursing sessions and spent my days practicing what I learned so I could get the perfect portrait of my daughter. It wasn’t long before I realized that my favorite images were the ones captured between the posed portraits. I love looking back at the pictures of my daughter’s tiny hands stacking her alphabet blocks or holding our favorite books. I love seeing her sweet eyes peeking through the holes in the laundry basket that I’ve had since college. And I love reminiscing when I see her tiny feet from the day she crawled into her toddler bed for the first time. For me, photographs mean so much more when there is context and memories associated with them. I’ve always loved looking back at the pictures my parents took of us when we were growing up. I especially love all of the details: the linoleum kitchen floors we roller skated on, the pink living room couch we sat on while we waited for the bus on rainy days, the wooden rolling pin that my mom has always used to make sugar cookies.
As much as we take photographs for our own personal memories, we also take them for our children to look back at years from now. Their favorite images will be the ones that stir up memories of their childhood: ordinary moments from everyday life. For me, these ordinary, often simple moments are the ones that make life extraordinary.
I want to capture these moments for you and your family so you can share them for generations to come. In my Storytelling Sessions, I’ll capture a glimpse of your favorite family activities: baking cookies, playing dress-up, planting flowers, getting ice cream, bedtime stories, bath time, playing at the park, a game of catch, potty training, folding laundry for the baby-to-be, riding bikes, eating finger food for the first time… you name it! I would be honored to capture these fleeting moments for you and your family.
Please contact me for more information on these special sessions!
Baby B | Main Line Lifestyle Newborn Photographer
I loved working with this family of four as they welcomed baby B into their lives. Baby B is so lucky to have three people who totally adore her!
