The Gute Family (Chester County Family Photographer)

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Gute Family.  The mom told me the boys would be less than thrilled to wear non-sports attire and have pictures taken, but I would have never known had she not said something because they all did great. They looked really handsome too!

We were supposed to meet at Hopewell Furnace, but unfortunately it closed earlier than expected and we had to find another location on the fly.  It worked out great though because French Creek Park was nearby and offered some nice backdrops. And even with a lake nearby, everyone made it through the session without getting wet or muddy.  Success!

Gute family...thank you so much for trusting me with capturing your fantastic family!  Enjoy your preview!

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 Lacock Family (Chester County Family Photographer)

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting the Lacock family and being a part of a very special gift.  You see the mother/"Nan" of the family had just celebrated a birthday and her children and their families scheduled the session as her gift.
It was clear to me that having these images were a cherished gift because of how much she loves her family.  And, they certainly adore her! 

Happy Birthday and enjoy the preview!

My Sweet Macy (Chester County Newborn Photographer)

If any of you have checked my blog in the last few months you have probably wondered why there wasn't much recent work to see.  Well, there was a very good reason for that and here she is!  My husband and I welcomed our fourth child, Macy Catherine, into the world on July 9th.



She is such a sweet baby and our lives are tremendously blessed by her presence in our family.



My four year old daughter Mia is THRILLED to have a sister.



I could stare at her sweetness and take in that baby smell all day.



We haven't quite figured out exactly who she looks most like, but I'm guessing she will look a lot like her big sister.







It's pretty busy around our house this summer, but I am loving the happy chaos of it all.  Well, at least most of the time.



Macy is six weeks old now and her bigger siblings are enjoying teaching her things like, "this little piggy," and how to smile when they speak sweetly to her.  It makes this mommy's heart overflow!



These are the little faces I get to spend my busy days with.  Being a mom of four kids 6 and under is no easy task, so my time is more limited these days.  I do still plan to do some sessions this Fall, but they will be limited.  If you know you would like to be part of the that limited list of people, please contact me very soon.



I hope all of you are having a wonderful summer and I look forward to seeing some of you in the coming months!

Baby Tyler (Main Line Area Newborn Photographer)

My dear friend Abby and her husband Luke just had the most adorable baby boy.  His name is Tyler and he also has a very proud and helpful big sister named Ella.  I absolutely love this family!  I used to teach with Abby and though we don't get to see each other very often anymore, we remain great friends. 

Photographing the children and families of my friends is one of my greatest joys and honors.  Life goes by so fast and being able to capture such precious memories for those I care about feels like a gift to me as well as to them.

I got to spend several hours with these great friends and snuggle their handsome and cooperative little man.  I still smile remembering how much Ella wanted to help and couldn't wait for her turn to take pictures with her brother.

Congratulations to Luke, Abby and Ella on this blessed addition to your already wonderful family!  Thank you for trusting me with these precious moments :)
