Old Home Week | [Chester County Family Photographer]

Last night after I got home from this session, the dad posted a message on my Facebook page: “The girls want to know when we can do it again!” I was so happy to see that! Of course, I always want to capture beautiful photos during a session. But it’s equally important to me that families and kids have a good time.

I’ve actually known the dad in this family since we went to high school together back in the dark ages Eighties. We recently reconnected on Facebook, and when he heard I was planning a summer trip to Minnesota they decided to book a session. We met at a park near their home in the suburbs of the Twin Cities, and we all had a really fun time!

T, it was great to see you again. And Q, it was wonderful to meet you. Your girls are so beautiful and full of personality—I really enjoyed my time with all of you. I’ll be in touch soon with your full gallery!

Summer Fun | [Main Line Child Photographer]

This is the second time I’ve photographed sweet Miss A (see her previous photos here), and I was excited to meet her little sister M!

We braved the heat and had a fun time in their backyard. A enjoyed swinging, picking apples, and playing hide and seek with the camera.

M was content to hang out on a blanket and enjoy the sunshine. Then we took her inside to get some studio shots that are similar to the ones we did of A two years ago. (Click the link above to see the resemblance to A when she was six months old!) Miss M was all smiles for me, even though I had pretty well tired her out by that point. 🙂

Some two-year-olds want nothing to do with their little siblings, but these two got along great!

K and K, thanks so much for inviting me back to work with your girls! I’ll be in touch when your full gallery is ready.

Fun Family Session | [Chester County Family Photographer]

I know this family from our church, and I knew we’d have a good time taking their photos. But when they got out of the car in these awesome clothes, I was so excited! Next time a client asks me for wardrobe advice, I’m sending the link to this post! These clothes are the very definition of “coordinating, but not matchy-matchy.” Dad also wore an orange polo in some of the shots, and that looked great too.

Okay, enough about the clothes. Now look at these beautiful people! The girls were full of great ideas, and we had tons of fun (despite the heat!). We met at a local park/farm, and the location has lots of great areas to shoot.

S family, it was great getting to know you a bit better! Thanks so much for inviting me to photograph you. I’ll be in touch soon with your full gallery!

kim - I just love the one of the girls in the meadow. Oh, and the one with them peeking into the barn is beautiful, too.

First Father’s Day | [Chester County Newborn Photographer]

I was so excited to spend Sunday morning with this new family of three. It was Dad’s first Father’s Day—just look at him beaming in the photo below! C did great in his first photo session ever, and we were even able to get outside for a few shots. I know they’ll have some beautiful portraits to hang on their walls.

Now . . . on to the photos!

D and A, thanks so much for sharing with me this special time in your lives. I enjoyed working with you and C, and I’ll be in touch soon with your full gallery!
