Postponed | Providence Family Photography

That is what my session Sunday morning was. I was all psyched up to do the session with the W. family but my lens, after an unfortunate accident with the hardwood floor the night before, decided to suddenly quit working right as we got started. I was able to grab this beauty (and isn’t she adorable?) while testing things out with my other lens but decided to call it a day to make sure that it was in fact the lens and not the camera itself. Thankfully, it was just the lens and an easy fix. In the meantime, for mom and dad, thanks again for understanding and here is a little something to tide you (and me!) over until our next meeting!!!

Old City Color | Philadelphia Family Photography

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 🙂

Boathouse Row with D. | Philadelphia Family Photography

After only having one session at the Art Museum in 18 months, I did two in one day.  Sunday early evening I met D. and his family in the Art Museum area for some family photos.  We started on Boathouse Row and worked our way back down to the cliffs overlooking the Schuylkill.  The lighting and color was just beautiful which is why all of these sneak peeks are in color 🙂   We had a really fun time watching me make a fool of myself on Kelly Drive.  If you saw some chick dancing, singing at the top of her lungs and hopping that was me!  (Well, if she had a camera that was me, if not it was just one of the other fine Philly citizens.)  D. was a trooper through it all, which doesn’t often (ever) happen with almost-eighteen-month-olds.  Thanks for letting me join in your family afternoon, S. and O.  I hope you enjoy the photos!!

Art Museum Cutie | Philadelphia Family Photography

S. and N. met me at the Art Museum Sunday morning for some pictures of K.  As I said in yesterday’s post, three of the four families have either been using me since maternity, or since the child was a baby.  K. was one where we started off when he was just eight or so months old!  (In fact that first session I think we hung out drinking coffee and talking more than shooting!)  And now he is a running, jumping, laughing, adorable two year old.  This is my fourth session with the family and every time I swear he just gets cuter and cuter!!  We had a great time and did a LOT of walking.  I saw parts of the Art Museum area I didn’t know existed!  We played in fountains and wishing wells and sang songs and tickled.  Because of the early start we also basically had the museum to ourselves which allowed me to grab the first photo – and as you can see, the sky was SUCH a gorgeous blue for part of the shoot as well.

S. and N. thank you SO much for inviting me into your lives all of these times.  I have had a BLAST hanging out with you and watching K. grow with you.  I hope I have been able to capture him the way that you see him 🙂

Growing up

Well, this was my last weekend shooting sessions in Philadelphia.  I can’t believe it – it has come so quickly!!!  I was so excited when I realized that three out of my four sessions this weekend were clients that I had either photographed since they were pregnant or since their child was just a baby.  It is one of the highest compliments to a photographer when your clients want you to keep coming back and photographing their family.  And I feel so SO honored that so many people have chosen me to document points in their lives.  Watching a child grow up through the lens is one of the top five reasons I love love LOVE my job.

K. is a member of my photo board that I first met back when she was pregnant and I did her maternity shoot…you may remember these shots

I also got to photograph little A. right after he was born.

And to start my weekend, we went back to the place we did the majority of their maternity shoot and I got to photograph A. at just over six months old. He is growing into SUCH a beautiful boy with eyes just to die for. I also got what I think is one of my most favorite shots ever with K. and A. K. and D. thank you so much for making me a part of your lives over the past year. 🙂
