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.

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 Brehony "Family" (Philadelphia Area Family Photographer)

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.

The Carr Family (Main Line Family Photographer)

Another family that I had the pleasure of photographing for the first time recently was the Carr family.   Beautiful inside and out, it was an easy task to capture great images of them. 
We had the perfect formula for a successful shoot: amazing weather + scenic location + a family that loves spending time together = ...  well see for yourself :)

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 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 :)
