Heather & Joe & Addison

Surely you remember Heather & Joe, whose maternity shoot was only two months ago. The happy family welcomed baby Addison to their lives just a bit earlier than planned, but she is here, happy, healthy, and beautiful! At three weeks old, she was such a trooper for all we put her through yesterday.

Heather & Joe: Maternity

Heather & Joe had a baby! But first we had a maternity shoot. Addisen Grace arrived on Monday, and I’m looking forward to her newborn shoot!

Handsome Cooper made his way in to most of my shots, as you can see, so I gave him one of his own. A boxer after my own heart.

Today I’ve got some family photos for you from a quick multi-family session way back in October.

Tracy & Michael: Tinicum Park Engagement Photos

You will not believe what Tracy, Michael & I got in to at Tinicum on Sunday night. Right smack in the middle of our sunset shoot a deer trotted out to the field within feet of where we were shooting. You have to see it to believe it:

They also showed up with some very creative ideas of their own, and I am always happy to oblige!

I can’t see what kind of creatures show up to their December nuptials!

Kid Portraits on Saint Joe’s Campus

Last week after I clocked out at my day job I hung around campus to meet up with my cousin and her 4 year old daughter–who, as it happens, is cute as a button. I know, spoiler alert:

Byers’ Choice Formal Gardens: Family Photos!

Did YOU know that Byers’ Choice has a formal garden? I definitely did not. I got to run around there with these crazy kids last week and we had a blast. :)

I love me some sister love.

Shannon & Dan: Lansdale Wedding Photography

Shannon & Dan were married on lovely Labor Day weekend this year at the Christ United Methodist Church in Lansdale.

Extra special thanks to Devon for helping me capture all the moments from their special day!

Karen & Dan: Sneek Peek

So I still have to blog about Amanda & Mike’s wedding and I like to keep things chronological, but I could not wait to share these from Karen & Dan’s wedding the week after. I was warned that Lila would be difficult to photograph, but to be perfectly honest, these are some of my favorite flower girl photos ever, ever, ever.

Stay tuned for the whole set!

Lisa & Paul: Rittenhouse Square Wedding Photos

Lisa and Paul are awesome. I mean really awesome. They met at an “anti valentine’s day” event and the rest was history. In August they married in a small, very intimate ceremony at Estia Restaurant in Center City Philadelphia.

Before their ceremony, the three of us ran around Rittenhouse Square to see what we could find.

Denise & Kurt: Delaware Canal Towpath Engagement Photos

Denise and Kurt were my last (but never least!) couple on a long weekend of engagement shoots in July. We met up at their house and played with their super-cute Corgi puppy, Autumn, before heading out to a nearby park.

Of course we wound up back with Autumn because I can never resist a puppy face. :) Can’t wait to see you guys again in October!
