The first session of my marathon weekend was with the beautiful C. and family in downtown Philadelphia.  I got to do C.’s newborn pictures and saw her last year about this same time for photos.  And now this year.  It has been SO great to see her grow up.  She continues to just be a beautiful little girl 🙂  And the rest of her family ain’t bad either!! Though it was pretty chilly, everyone did great the entire time and by the end C. was totally hamming it up for me!!  I had such a great time seeing you guys again!!  Enjoy 🙂

I met the C. family yesterday morning in Center City for the first of my mini shoots in Philadelphia this weekend.  Three girls – 12, 10 and 8 and they were WONDERFUL!!  We started by discussing the previous night’s Flyers game so, as a sports fan, I knew it was going to go well!  I also got the coolest shot ever – I made them jump in front of these three gorgeous doors on, of all things, the Wachovia Bank right on Broad street.  Thankfully even at those ages they weren’t too cool to do it because I LOVE the resulting shot 😉 We also did some shots around Old City and got some great gorgeous pictures. Thanks so much girls (and mom for getting in a few, and dad for chauffeuring) for coming to hang out with me on a chilly morning. Hope you like seeing yourselves on here!!

I had my last and final session in Philadelphia tonight. This session was originally supposed to happen three weeks ago or so but weather and hockey playoffs delayed us not once, not twice, not three times but four or five times. So finally tonight the D. family and I got together. It was very fitting though that K. and her family were my last session. I have been photographing K. since she was pregnant with little J.

I also did J.’s newborn session

And I also did a holiday session with the whole family. So it makes sense that I ended my time in Philadelphia with them as well. Photography is about capturing moments in your life forever. It’s what I love, it’s what I do. And to be able to do it over and over for a family is perhaps the coolest thing ever. This last session saw little J. a bit over a year old and taking his first steps – in fact tonight was the first time he was walking continuously! 🙂 K. decided she wanted a more urban feel and urban is exactly what she got. J. and D. were WONDERFUL to photograph as always. I can’t believe how easy this family is!! It also made sense that I ended with urban since I did spend the last four years of my life living in the city. I left these all in color for this sneak peek because, well, LOOK at the color in them!!! And there are more here because, well, I can do that 🙂
