Itty Bitty Beautiful | [Chester County Newborn Photographer]

Oh my goodness! Little Miss L is the tiniest newborn I’ve worked with to date. She weighed just 4 lbs. 7 oz. at birth, and when I met her she was six days old.

I was excited to meet her, of course, but I was also looking forward to spending some time with her family. I’ve known her mom since she was expecting L’s big sister, and I also did E’s newborn session in 2009.

E was excited to show me her new camera, and she took advantage of my backdrop to shoot some photos of her doll. She also got into some portraits herself, and I couldn’t resist including the pout you see below. But don’t worry—we got some photos of her smiling, too.:)

L was the perfect model, and I thought it was so sweet that she often slept with her hands near her face . . . just like E did in her newborn photos. Don’t miss the little hint of a smile on her face in the bottom left photo!

C and B, thanks so much for inviting me to work with you again. It’s always fun to see how my little clients grow, and both of your girls are adorable.

Hat Trick (+ 1) | [Chester County Portrait Photographer]

Many of you may not know that I’m vice-president of the Chester County Camera Club. It’s a great group—each month we have one program meeting with a speaker on some aspect of photography, and we have a second meeting that’s a competition. Each competition has a theme, and last night’s theme was Portrait. I thought, “Hey, I can do that!”:)

I submitted four images—one into each category—and much to my surprise, I won four ribbons! Each of the three “human” subjects received a first place ribbon, and B the golden retriever was awarded second place.

If you’d like to learn more about the camera club, check out our website (linked above). Our members do really great work, and you can see their images in the Photo Gallery area of the site. We also have a Facebook page. Head on over and “like” us!

That’s a Wrap! | [Chester County Pet Photographer]

My last session of 2011 was a lot of fun. C wanted to do some portraits of herself, her husband J, and their dog B. So we got together at an old barn in their neighborhood that gave us lots of possibilities for beautiful backgrounds.

Sometimes it can be a bit challenging to photograph a dog, but B was great! Even when a neighborhood cat decided she wanted to observe the proceedings. As I shot, she came closer and closer to us—she wanted to check out my camera bag and everyone’s jackets. Then she just sat there, no matter how hard we tried to chase her away or scare her off (I felt bad about it, too!). If you notice that B is looking a little “intense” in these photos, now you know why!

C and J, I really enjoyed working with you and B. Your proofs are almost ready, and I’ll be in touch soon!

Meet Q | [Philadelphia Area Newborn Photographer]

I recently met Q, and I truly think he’s one of the most beautiful newborns I’ve ever seen. Just look at his perfect pink skin and all that hair! He was alert and calm for a lot of our session, but he also snoozed a bit so we could get some photos of him sleeping. He loved being swaddled, and he snuggled in with Dad for a few shots too.

M and M, it was so great working with you and sweet Q. Your gallery is almost ready!
