Baby "J" Preview (Chester County Newborn Photographer)

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting 6 day old baby "J" and his loving family. He was such a good baby. He wanted to be awake for much of the session, but that was fine considering he was happy and alert.
He was born into a family of huge Phillies fans and was even named after one of the players. I loved the way he "posed" for me in this giant baseball mitt. What an adorable baby!

"S" Family...enjoy your preview!

Caruso Kids Preview (Chester County Children's Photographer)

What a great time I had this week during a fun, playful session with the Caruso kids. I was definitely kept on my toes times 4. It was great getting to know the unique qualities of each child and trying to capture that in a short period of time.

In Need of a Smile? (Giveaway)

Do you know a family, a couple, a child or anyone for that matter that could use a pick me up in the form of a FREE photo session? If so, I want to hear about it.

I have been so blessed by this business and all the wonderful people I have had the sincere pleasure of working with and this Christmas season I want to share that blessing.

Maybe you know of a family that has been struggling with illness or job loss, and family pictures would bring some joy back to their hearts and faces. Whatever the reason, if you know someone deserving I want to hear the story.

From today, December 3rd, until December 13th, I will take submissions. Please email me at susanfordphotography@gmail.com with the story of why your nominee should be the winner of the free session. Please be specific. I don't need to know every little gritty detail, but you need to convince me that your nominee is the most deserving. "They are good people" won't cut it. You don't have to be a spectacular writer or perfect speller, just a person who cares enough about someone you know to tell me their story in a persuasive way in the hope that they will be given this gift.

I will choose a winner by December 15th.

Please spread the word about this giveaway by email, Facebook and word of mouth as you see fit.

I look forward to hearing about some amazing people in the coming days and putting a smile on the face of the winner(s).

Merry Christmas!

Drabish Christmas Preview (Philadelphia Area Children's Photographer)

My second Christmas session while I was in the Morgantown, WV area last week, was with my dear, sweet friend Anissa's little beauty. I took her newborn pictures just a few short weeks ago, but she is growing fast and her momma wanted me to do her Christmas pictures while I was in town.
It is such a joy to get to capture the beauty of a friend's child and this baby is stunning. Get ready to want to pinch her cheeks as you look through this preview.

Enjoy, my dear friends!

Glover Preview (Chester County Children's Photographer)

Last week I headed to my mom's for a beautiful change of scenery and a little R&R. While there I was able to reconnect with a friend from high school and take pictures of her beautiful little girl. She was all dolled up in her Christmas attire and had so much fun showing me all of her favorite places to play and hang out on their gorgeous property.
What a joy it was to meet her and spend some time "playing" and capturing her sweet and sassy personality!

Glovers...enjoy your preview!

Stewart Newborn Preview (Philadelphia Area Newborn Photographer)

Sweet baby "A" may only have been a few days old during our session but she was definitely not a sleepy newborn. Her mama tried all the tricks but she wanted to be awake and see what was going on. Fortunately, we wore her out eventually and managed to get a few shots of her beautiful face before she was up again.
She is one lucky little girl because she is loved beyond measure. Her family could not be happier to finally have her around. There is no doubt she is their newest reason to be thankful this Thanksgiving.

Stewart Family...enjoy the preview of your "sleeping" beauty.

Charade Preview (Main Line Maternity Photographer)

This weekend I had the pleasure of doing my second maternity session. This gorgeous mama had a fun, artistic flair and we had a great time capturing images that she will cherish for a lifetime.

Her beautiful family will very soon increase by one handsome baby boy. She is hoping for this week, but if not he will be their newest reason for being thankful this year when he is born just before Thanksgiving.

Fingers crossed for an early delivery Charade family... Enjoy your preview!
