Dent Family (Philadelphia Area Family Photographer)

This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing 2 extended families of 18 and the Dent family was first on the schedule.  We met at a beautiful location in Medford, NJ called Kirby's Mill.  Thankfully, though it was a cold morning, the sun warmed things up pretty quickly and it was very manageable.  All the kids seemed to be staying warm by running around and having fun with their cousins. 
It was truly a fun morning capturing this awesome family and I know they will treasure these images for many years to come. 

Berry Family - Daddy's Home! (Philadelphia Area Family Photographer)

I had the absolute pleasure of working with these sweet boys and their mama twice this year, so that they could send pictures overseas to their daddy/husband serving in the military.  He recently came home and this past weekend I got to photograph the whole family :)
Smiles were abounding and it was clear that every moment was a true celebration of having him home. I was honored to get to capture some of that joy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your service and your sacrifice and Welcome Home!!!

The Growing Bridge Family (Philadelphia Area Family Photographer)

It was so much fun to get to meet the adorable twins of a family I have photographed numerous times and who I truly love spending time with.  We met at Longwood Gardens so the babies wouldn't be too cold with this chilly Spring air, and it was the perfect setting.  Well, except for the endless, fun distractions for their 2 year old brother.  Can you blame him though?  Who doesn't love the Children's Garden there?

Get ready for some cuteness overload...

The Berry Boys (Philadelphia Area Children's Photographer)

These two very handsome little boys have a brave daddy serving overseas.  Their mom is planning on surprising him with pictures of two of his greatest treasures.  I'm certain that is going to make his day...or week...or month.  I  mean seriously, can you imagine how much he must miss these two precious little guys.  So blessed to have been part of this beautiful surprise :)

Cylc Family Fun (Philadelphia Area Family Photographer)

I can hardly believe it, but it has been 3 years since my college friend Tricia and I have been able to mesh our calendars so that I could photograph her beautiful family.  And, what a gorgeous Fall day we had to do just that!  These are seriously some of the happiest kids I have been around and were such a pleasure to work with.  I'm so glad we were finally able to make it work so she could have these fun images!

Lindeblad Lovelies (Philadelphia Area Family Photographer)

A couple times a year I head down to the DC area to photograph the families of friends of mine from college that live in that area.  However, as the years have gone by they have referred me to friends of theirs and now I have even more friends that I look forward to photographing when I am in town.  The Lindeblad Family is one of those wonderful families.  It is such a joy to see them each year and marvel at how much the girls have grown and what little beauties they are becoming.

Great to see you again Lindeblads!  Enjoy this little preview.

The Growing Greeves Family (Philadelphia Area Family Photographer)

I seriously love this family!  I have been photographing them since before this beautiful little girl could even sit up and now they've added her brother who she affectionately calls Buddy (so cute!).  They are one of my DC area families and look forward to seeing them at least once a year.  They are such a wonderful family and truly make my job easy. 
Thanks for making ME smile Greeves Family!  Enjoy your preview.

The Extended Ferguson Family (Philadelphia Area Family Photographer)

My friend Nicole and I have been good friends since college.  Along the way I was fortunate to meet many of her wonderful family members.  Last weekend I had the pleasure to meet even more of them and also do a large family session with everyone.  We got together at a state park with some old fort ruins.  It was truly the perfect setting for some great shots with a lively and fun group.
My only regrets from this session are not having more time with them and not taking them up on their invitation to stay for an early Thanksgiving dinner.  I know with all the amazing foodies in the family that it was definitely not a meal to miss.
Enjoy the preview!
