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 :)

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 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!

My Niece Karina (Main Line Newborn Photographer)

Our family has been eagerly awaiting this precious little girl.  What a blessing and a joy it is to welcome a new life into a family and Karina is certainly both. 
I'm a little partial, but I think she is absolutely gorgeous.  She is such a good baby and is letting her parents get at least some sleep.  Her little brother likes her most of the time and is going to be such a good sibling. 
The day I was going to take these pictures of her was one of those days where nothing was going right for me.  I prayed on my way over that she would sleep soundly and I would be able to get some great images of her.  Oh my did God answer my prayer!  Not only did she sleep through every single part of her session, she smiled at some point in nearly every pose I put her in.  LOVE it!!!
So, needless to say, I had a hard time even figuring out what to put in this preview, but here are some of the many faces of sweet Karina.
