Four year old Alexandra was full of life…the sillies…and plenty of after-school energy on this bright and sunny Wednesday afternoon. And what better place to run it off than at the always-picturesque Harriton House in Bryn Mawr PA?  I can’t believe how much she’s grown.

Aunts & uncles…cousins & siblings…siblings & in-laws…grandparents & grandkids!  I think we covered all the bases here in this beautiful early-autumn extended family session at Appleford Estate in Villa Nova PA.

I met this gang a few years back when the girls were flower girls at wedding I photographed at Aldie Mansion. I remember them at the time being too sweet for words.  Here they are a few years older, just as cute and so proud to show off their new baby brother ❤️     […]

I got to see my main man Emmett and his adorable and adoring side kick, Nora last week.  Such a cute little family and session.  Anthony Wayne House (Paoli PA) was looking good, too, dressed in its many shades of late summer green.

Almost as impressive at Pete’s houseplant collection was the total cuteness factor and vibe of this home.  There was little A running around (a mobile, static electricity factory) with her half-eaten apple, Teddy the dog’s willingness to be a ‘joiner’, and littler A’s pretty blue eyes shining in the window light on this quiet, rainy […]

This little girl was a mover and shaker for this family session!  Moms and I had a workout just keeping up with her as she speed-explored her way through the park area of their local Newtown Square community.  I love how Alexandra’s gorgeous curls came in since our last shoot!

Bartram’s Garden….one of my favorite places to shoot.  I always show up early so I can walk around slowly and take in the sights.  Always a ton of birds and curious plants to admire. This little guy…that face!  Although Lucky did give us a smile or two, I found his ‘serious face’ to be equally […]

Here are some highlights of Alexandra hangin’ with her parents on a beautiful July morning in Newtown Square.  It is sooo nice to be shooting again.  And great to see these beauties looking so happy and healthy.

Here’s another beautiful and fun fall family session at Bartram’s Garden featuring the growing-up-way-too-quickly Castelo kids.  Here, we took full advantage of the mild weather, soft light and gorgeous gardens, which never disappoint. ‘daddy chasing mommy’ works every time! post-session treats

Montgomery County has tons of little spots for family photography.  When Maria & Luke asked if I had any recommendations, I immediately thought of downtown Ambler, nearby Hope Lodge and Mather’s Mill just across the street.  My favorite sessions include a couple different backdrops.  Something green and leafy, something historic and something with a little […]
