The Bartholdson Family (Main Line Family Photographer)

This past weekend I had the pleasure of briefly being a part of a milestone birthday celebration for a very lucky grandfather.  With more kids present than adults, it was certainly a lively time filled with giggles and even a few tears by some adorably overwhelmed 1 year old twins.

The session took place on the beautiful family property which is clearly loved by everyone, especially the barefoot kiddos.  It was such a pleasure to capture images of this family.  I didn't have to be there long to feel the love and warmth they share.

I'm quite sure from the amazing smells wafting out of the kitchen window and into the yard, that the dinner and celebration that followed was one to be remembered.

As many are so fortunate to know, sometimes family extends beyond the people you are related to.  That is the case with these families who grew up together and care for each other as such.
One of the "kids" from these families had triplets a few months ago and as a surprise to him and his wife, they all chipped in to have me come and take pictures not only of the triplets with their mommy and daddy, but also with the whole extended "family".
It was a fun and busy morning with wardrobe changes, baby feedings, baby holding and everyone scrabbling to get as many pictures in as possible in a relatively short amount of time.
The Brehony boys (triplets) did awesome and so did everyone else :)
I was truly blessed to be a part of this very special gift.

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 Speirs Family (Chester County Family Photographer)

The Speirs family was another family submitted to the frigid temperatures and wind a couple weekends ago.  But their beautiful, blue eyed little girl was still smiling and enjoying the time playing in the leaves.  She is such a happy little girl and will surely be a wonderful big sister in a few months.  Congratulations to this sweet family!

How gorgeous is this little girl?!?!  This is the second time I've had the pleasure of photographing her and her parents.  It's so fun to see how much she has grown in the last year and she is still as sweet as ever, though much more mobile and adventurous. 

Enjoy the preview :)

The Stendardo Family (Philadelphia Area Family Photographer)

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with the Stendardo family.  I rarely go into the city for my sessions, so it is fun to get to head in and photograph them in some really great city parks.  This time I met them at Franklin Square.  It was a cold morning, but everyone warmed right up after a few minutes of playing in the leaves.  Well, the sunshine helped too :)
What a great looking family!

Stendardo crew...enjoy your preview!
