A is for Adorable | [Chester County Newborn Photographer]

May 12, 2012 Posted in Newborn, Session

This little guy’s mom and I have known each other for almost 15 years . . . since back in our carefree single days.:)I worked with his big brother (don’t they look alike?!) a few years ago, and I was really excited to meet him and snuggle him and get him in front of my camera.

He was a little older than most of the newborns that I work with, so he was quite alert. It took some maneuvering to get him to sleep, but we managed it! And I think we got some beautiful portraits of him.

Not only does A have a human brother, but he also has several kitty-cat siblings. And Leo decided that he would be my assistant. He served as a stand-in for A, and he made sure I had the background adjusted just “so.” After all that, he took a break to lounge in the backdrop “hammock” that was created between the backdrop stand and the beanbag. Silly kitty!

J and M, it was great to meet your new addition—I can’t wait to get to know him better as he grows!

Hunger Games | [Chester County Newborn Photographer]

March 19, 2012 Posted in Newborn, Session

Miss R played some hunger games with us, all right! Oh, not the kind in the book or the movie . . . the kind where all she wanted to do during our session was eat!:)But in between her meals and snacks, we got some beautiful portraits of her and her family.

You may remember her mom’s recent maternity session, and her big brother’s newborn session from a few years ago (don’t they look alike?!).

Mr. H was very cooperative and a lot of fun to work with. We played with his “guys” and his trucks, and he posed for a few photos with Dad. At one point, he begged to hold the baby. I know he’s going to be a great big brother!

A and C, it’s really been wonderful getting to know all of you. I look forward to working with you again and watching H and R grow!

Pink and Pretty | [Chester County Child Photographer]

February 10, 2012 Posted in Personal

This morning I met up with a friend, and we headed to the Nannygoat Alley vintage & estate sale in Gladwyne. From the street, it looked like a small, mid-century house. But inside, it was huge! And it was packed with antique and vintage treasures.

One of the kids’ bedrooms upstairs held this adorable little tea set, and I just couldn’t resist! I have visions of photographing a little girl who’s hosting an outdoor tea party with a few of her favorite stuffed animals and dolls. In fact, I couldn’t even wait for the little girl—I set everything up as soon as I got home, and took a few photos!

I laid out a red cloth for some Valentine’s Day pop, and covered it with my own vintage tablecloth that my grandma crocheted years ago. Shhh . . . don’t tell my husband that I used his shortbread cookies as props. They went right back into the package when I was finished with them!

If you’re into vintage items and antiques, check out the sale this weekend—you can find the details at the Nannygoat site linked above. And if you have a tea-loving little girl, give me a call. Let’s set up a portrait session for the spring!

Second Time Around | [Chester County Maternity Photographer]

February 5, 2012 Posted in Maternity, Session

I was so excited to hear from this family! I’ve known them since they were expecting the first time, and I photographed little H when he was a newborn. Now he’s “all grown up” and about to become a big brother!

We did some shots of Mom (C) and Dad (A) by themselves while we waited for H to wake up from his nap and join us. As you can see in the first image below, he knows all about what’s in Mom’s belly! Of course, I took a few photos of him by himself too. And for the final image, we recreated one of the photos from the family’s first maternity session—the image on the left is from 2009, and the one on the right, of course, is from this session. The painting above the couch was done by a friend of the couple, and the woman in the red dress playing the piano is C. She’s a professional pianist, and I’ve been listening to her station on Pandora recently—how cool is that?!

A and C, I’m looking forward to seeing you again and meeting baby #2 very soon!
