Moving on.. a lifestyle session (Chester County Family Photographer)

One of my client families is moving and called to see if I could come to the only home their children have known so far, to take pictures of them doing life before they move.  They plan to make a book for their children to have as a keepsake to remember the place were they came home from the hospital, got bandaids for their first boo-boos, marked their growth on the kitchen doorway and so much more.

I love doing lifestyle sessions and this one was such a fun and relaxed experience.  This is just a taste of life captured on that day.

The Buchner Family (Chester County Family Photographer)

I love having the opportunity photograph in new places and the Buchners are blessed to have an absolutely beautiful home and property to do just that. 
It was such a lovely fall day and I loved that their dog, Finnegan, tagged along and cooperated in nearly all of the pictures.  How fun!
Their little guy was mostly serious during the session, but even his serious face is adorable.  The highlight for his big brother was definitely when he and daddy got their picture taken on the tractor. 
I think it was a session that I think truly captured their love for where they live and the life they have created there.

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 Schierse Family (Chester County Family Photographer)

Monday was Columbus Day, which meant it was a good opportunity to do some additional family sessions with those who were lucky enough to have the day off.  The Schierse family was one of those families, but I was the one who ended up being the lucky one to get to work with them.  We had so much fun "exploring" Springton Manor Farm.  I loved capturing the playfulness of each of the kids' personalities.  What a great morning filled with fun, smiles and even a few giggles!

The Bomberger Family (Chester County Family Photographer)

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting another new family.  We had perfect weather to explore Springton Manor Farm and not only get some family pictures, but also throw in some play time....in the leaves :)  It was a great session with an even greater family!  Take a peek.

The VeVerka Family (Chester County Family Photographer)

One of my greatest pleasures in this job is getting to see the same families each year and watching as the kids grow and personalities bloom.  This family is one of those precious families and I am so fortunate to get to spend time with them.  My face was sore from all the smiling I was doing behind the camera as I captured the spunky and full of joy personality of little M.
Thanks for sharing your family with me :)

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 :)

The Matson Family (Chester County Family Photographer)

Last weekend I had the pleasure of working with the Matson family for the first time.  What a great family!  And seriously, how beautiful are these girls?  We were lucky enough to get to use some beautiful private property for the session and the results were stunning.  See for yourself :)
