Philadelphia family photographer: Baby Evelyn

May 21, 2012

Lisa, Ryan, and baby Evelyn met us earlier this month for a family photo session in Washington Square West. There’s this cute little neighborhood tucked away behind the park that is one of my absolute faaaavorite places to shoot. The light was gorgeous, and Evelyn was a perfect little model– completely calm during the entire shoot, and towards the end, she fell asleep! :)

Enjoy a look into their afternoon!

Ryan put Evelyn in the crook of his leg and we all realized she was super content there!

Her blue eyes!!!

My favorite <3

Thank you, Lisa, Ryan, and Evelyn for spending the afternoon with us!

Despite the thunderstorm that came out of nowhere on Friday night/Saturday morning, we were able to meet up with Lisa, Ryan, and baby Evelyn at Washington Square West. The skies were cloudy (my favorite!), providing some gorgeous light with soft shadows. Here’s a little preview of their session:

Happy Monday!

A weekend in Newport and meeting a little bird

April 23, 2012

Posted in families

This (cold, foggy, rainy) weekend, Chris and I made our way up to Newport, RI. We figured that since we went to college in the Newport Beach, CA, area, we should visit its east coast counterpart. Even with the crappy weather, it was a great place to visit.

One of the highlights of our visit, aside from staying at a great B&B, was meeting up with Kerri, her husband Chris, and THEEE cutest little birdy ever, BSparl. (Side note: because of Kerri and Chris’ prominence in their respective careers, they’ve decided to keep their daughter’s name off the interwebz. You can read more here.)

Poor kid was a little confused when we first met up, because there’s her daddy named Chris, and then there’s my Chris. Kerri was teaching her our names, so when she first saw us, she looked at [my] Chris and said, “Daddy!” LOL We dubbed him “Bonus Chris” for the rest of the afternoon, and she had quite the crush on him. :)

Kerri is a diabetes blogger, one of the first I found a few years ago. Since then, I’ve been able to meet her on a number of occasions, and Chris and I are lucky to call her a friend. Spending the afternoon with their family was so much fun, and we got some great photos of BSparl running around and having a blast! Here’s a little preview of their session. Isn’t she beautiful?!

I’m glad we were able to spend some down time this weekend– I start physical therapy this week for a suspected torn rotator cuff. Which, ironically, doesn’t hurt even when I’m taking photos. ;)

Happy Monday everyone!

Philadelphia family photographer: Baby Aria

April 11, 2012

Posted in families

Recently I found out that if you want to go into labor early, book a maternity session with me ;) I think I’m 3 for 3…I haven’t officially photographed a pregnant belly since late 2008.

Dana originally scheduled a maternity session for her and her husband Aaron, but Aria decided she wanted to be in the photos too. She was born three weeks early, stunning the world with her beautiful blue eyes (and making her daddy completely smitten with her). I spent a couple of hours with them and totally felt the love they have for their little girl.

The famous “heart butt” pants :)

The pic on the right: zzzzzz! I love it when babies fall asleep as they’re eating, haha.

The pic on the left cracks me up! (Btw, how gorgeous is Dana?!)

So. Much. LOVE.

Babies’ facial expressions = priceless.

Happy little family <3

So lemme tell you about Aria’s nursery…Dana and Aaron did an AMAZING job of decorating it! The theme was safari animals, with a special emphasis on giraffes. (Um, I’m not too old for a room like this, am I?!)

The well on the left side was handmade by Aaron’s parents. Originally it was filled with books, but it may be full of toys very soon :)

Dana and Aaron– thanks so much for having me in your home to capture a day in your life with your new bundle of joy! Aria is incredibly lucky to have such loving parents like you two!

Baby Aria: sneak peek

This weekend, I met the cutest little three-week-old nugget, Aria. The shoot was originally supposed to be a maternity session, but Aria wanted to be in the photos too ;) Here’s one of my favorites from their family session…melts my heart!

Bim (and Andy’s) baby shower

October 2, 2011 families

You may remember Bim and Andy from their shoot in Paris…now they’re about to have a baby girl named Alice! Bim’s family hosted a baby shower in her honor (Andy was there in spirit, since he’s in California), and I LOOOOOVED all the colors they used to go with the “POP” theme! Bim didn’t want [...]

Shower for Baby B!

March 20, 2011 families

This is the first baby shower we’ve shot since Charlotte & Mike’s baby shower back in 2008, and it just happens to be for Charlotte’s sister Jenn and her husband. :) They are having a baby girl (due in mid-May), so her theme was a nice pink and green. (Side note: when people ask how [...]

Mamikonyan family session

December 22, 2010 families

This past weekend, I headed out to Gina’s house to photograph her and her family. I had a great time seeing Sophia (who has warmed up to me and is a total ham once she hears the shutter clicking away) and meeting Gina’s husband Ernie and their gentle giant Ramses. Gina had the house all [...]
