Baby J | Wallingford, PA Lifestyle Newborn Session

I worked with two super tiny babies in a row.  Meet baby J!  He is one strong little guy :)  He was about two months old at this session, but the session was done right around his due date.  He had such a loving big sister and it was fun to capture some photos of them together.  I have a soft spot for sibling photos and I always try to get a couple posed ones as well as a bunch of more candid type shots <3  This was my last session of 2016 and I can't wait to start sharing more of my current sessions!  

Meeting Rose | Chester County Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

I was so honored to meet sweet little Rose in her home so soon after she was delivered.  Rose was the tiniest little girl because she surprised everyone a bit early!  I've known Rose's parents for what seems like forever, and they make just as amazing parents as they do friends.  Rose's nursery was designed with such love and thought.  Every item in there had sentimental value and I enjoyed capturing those details as much as I did the newborn details.  Thank you for sharing your early days with Rosebud with me!  <3  

The S Family | Tree Farm Storytelling Session West Chester, PA

As much as I love doing tree farm mini sessions, it doesn't come close to as much fun I have at a storytelling session :)  During this family lifestyle session with the S family, I documented them cutting down their Christmas tree!  We started the moment they hopped out of their car and ended with them packing the tree to go home.  We captured some lifestyle portraits along the way too.  This year, I will be offering two packages for Documentary Sessions: a half day "storytelling" session and a full "day in the life" session.  If you are interested in finding out more about these packages, feel free to send me an email or submit a question on my contact form :)

The M Family | Extended Family Photography Session Phoenixville, PA

This was the second time I had the opportunity to work with the M family and both times we did extended family pictures.  It's so fun to include grandparents in the session and I love that we can still have a more casual lifestyle session.  This year, we decided to walk around Phoenixville and we ended up at Steel City to warm up at the end.  If you haven't ever stopped by there - it's worth checking out!  We had a great time being goofy while still giving lots of hugs <3 Thank you for choosing me to capture these memories, M family!

The H Family | In-home Lifestyle Session West Chester, PA

I spent a frigid November afternoon with the H family next to their cozy fire.  I love in-home sessions so much. They work so well for all ages... not just newborns.  When we initially were email about the session, Erin said that she wanted to have a session that captures a day in their regular life - no fancy clothes, no fancy posing.  It was wonderful and we captured so many great moments.

Tree Farm Sessions Day 2 | West Chester, PA Family Photographer

We had our second day of Tree Farm Minis mid November and we had amazing weather.  It was so warm we were actually glowing ;)  I love doing these tree farm sessions and look forward to doing them every year!

Tyler Newborn | Wilmington, DE Newborn Photographer

I was so excited to meet little Tyler and visit with his family.  I love doing newborn sessions at home because they are so relaxing and the older siblings have the freedom to come and go as they please.  In between photos, we read books, played with ponies, and gave Tyler lots of snuggles.  It was a great morning :)

The O Family | Longwood Gardens Family Session

Longwood Gardens is my absolute favorite place to shoot in the winter.  It's always gorgeous and always changing so it never gets old.  You also can't beat the weather :)  I did a family session for the O family to document baby Prim's 6 month milestone.  We took plenty of family shots too and had fun doing a mix of posed, documentary, and more lifestyle photos.  Enjoy! 

Tree Farm Sessions Day 1 | Main Line Family Photographer

I did two days of tree farm sessions last year and they were so much fun!  A tree farm is a great, casual backdrop for Christmas cards and the kids always have so much fun.  We started mid day and I wrapped up right after sunset.  I can't wait to do these again this year :)

Evelyn | Bryn Mawr, PA 6 Month Milestone Session

I did Evelyn's newborn session earlier in the year and I was so excited to see her again for her six month Milestone session!  I love documenting the first year because they grow so much and go through so many changes.  We did this session right at sunset and Evelyn was the happiest little girl.  It was fun to catch up with her big brother too :)

The A Family | Ridley Creek State Park Fall Session

We had a beautiful warm and sunny morning for the A family's session at Ridley Creek State Park.  When we scheduled the session I was not sure if there would be any leaves left on the trees (this was in early November) but we ended up finding some pretty foliage :) 

The A Family | Newtown Square, PA Lifestyle Family Photographer

I am vowing to never get behind on blogging again, but I will say, I love revisiting these fall sessions and I am finding new favorites for each session as I look through the galleries again :)  We had a beautiful night for the A family... perfect temperature (which was a nice surprise for November!) and a beautiful sunset.  I absolutely love working with this family.  I knew I could take them to this location and that they would be up for a little hike ;)  They totally go with the flow and give their kids endless love.  We captured lots of fun and lots of love.... which is always my favorite <3

Baby L | Lansdale, PA Lifestyle Newborn Session

I was so excited to meet Miss L.  And she was the sweetest little baby with the most curly hair I've ever seen.  She was welcomed into the most loving family and joined her family weeks... if not days... after they moved into their new home!  It was an exciting few weeks for sure!  Her big brother was still mesmerized by her tiny fingers and little toes <3 I loved capturing this time for this family and had fun looking back at all of the images from their session :) 

The G Family | Bryn Mawr, PA Lifestyle Photographer

I met the G family at their home for a family lifestyle session.  They wanted to capture the kids playing and enjoying a Saturday morning together.  It was nice outside, so we were able to play outside for a bit too.  During my sessions, I don't stop shooting very often.  While we were getting ready to go outside, I was taking pictures of Mom putting on her daughter's shoes.  She said to me, "Why are you taking a picture of my mom tying my shoes?"  And I said, "Because one day, you will tie them on your own." <3

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

The T Family | Haverford, PA Family Session

I met up with the T family at Haverford College for a Family Lifestyle Session.  It was a beautiful night with perfect weather.  I especially loved some of the Mommy and Me shots we captured <3Little B sure was a snuggler with his mom but he loved flying high with his dad!

The M Family | Longwood Gardens, PA

I met up with the M family at Longwood Gardens to do a casual extended family session.  We had a bright and sunny day and we had fun exploring and catching up since our last session together.  I really love capturing grandparents and their grandkids and it adds so much to your session when they are included.  There was lots of tickles and lots of laughter at this session :)

The F Family | Kennett Square, PA Maternity Session

I offer a first year newborn package where you can add on a maternity, six months, or one year session in addition to the newborn session.  It's a great way to document all the changes that happen during the baby's first year.  The additional sessions are a bit shorter than the newborn session, but we capture plenty of fun images.  I met up with the F family in Kennett Square, PA for a more "urban" session.  It was a nice change of pace and I really love working in small towns.  Let me know if you are interested in this type of session and I'm happy to suggest some great locations :)

Lifestyle and Park Session | Ardmore, PA Lifestyle Photographer

I had a wonderful time last fall with the R family.  We started their session at home and took so pictures doing some of their favorite activities with their daughter: reading books, playing with their doll house, and being silly.  They also love going to the park, so after we finished up at home, we walked the park and I followed behind to capture them hanging out as a family.  I loved this session and I know they will love looking back at these images of their home and town when their daughter was young <3

The T Family | Ridley Creek State Park, PA

I am so behind on blogging my fall sessions and I've been eagerly waiting to get to this session.  I was so excited to work with the T family again.  I did A's newborn photos and it was incredible to see how much she has grown.  Valerie is an amazing local photographer (I can't get enough of her posed newborns!) and we spent a good bit of time deciding on the perfect location... we wanted lots of grasses and a gorgeous sunset.  Beautiful light was a top priority.  We ended up with a perfect night and I love the casual, lifestyle images we captured.  Their gallery was HUGE and it was so tough to pick my favorites to blog :)
