Two days.  418 miles.  14 hours in the car.  Five families.  Six adorable kids.  Ten relatives.  837 shots (yes, I overshoot).  Two parks.  Two houses.  A mall and a hotel.  My weekend in a nutshell.  I love my job.  🙂

I got to start my Saturday morning with the most adorable set of brothers!!!  W. is 3.5 and little B. is turning 1 next weekend.  They were the cutest little things and even though it took a little bit for them to warm up to me at the end I had caught some great smiles.  I also during the session captured one of my favorite family moments.  So often we will try so many different things to make kids (and parents) smile or laugh.  And then sometimes that magic moment comes where it just happens…and that was the family shot below.  Pure joy, pure love.  N. and J. it was great to meet you and the boys!!  Enjoy your peek 🙂

Are you looking for some photos for gifts for Mother’s Day?  Or looking for something that YOU can get as an early Mother’s Day present?  I am doing one day of special mini sessions in Center City for just those reasons!!  Minis are a great way of doing a quick session if you don’t want to do a whole one.  And these minis are especially great because they include some digital files!  When you receive digital files, they are yours forever. You can print them, share them, save them, scrapbook with them, order prints etc.  

At this time I only plan on doing one day with four sessions so if you are interested don’t wait too long!  If there is enough interest I may open a second day.

I got back into the swing of things yesterday with the unbelievably adorable Baby G. At just under three weeks she was a little older than my typical newborns, but she was a total dream to photograph, with hair, eyes and lips to die for. She stayed awake for some photos of her gorgeous eyes and then fell into possibly the deepest sleep I have ever had with a newborn, which allowed me (with help from mom) to get some great sleeping shots. Mom and dad were super relaxed and a joy to work with as well and we got along great – which made sense once I figured out we were all Big East grads 😉

One thing I am most excited about is that once big brother G. woke up, I captured what has to be my favorite sibling shot to date. He is so in love with the “baba” and I think the shot shows it perfectly.

So C. and D. I really loved meeting your little family and revisiting my old neighborhood 🙂 I hope you enjoy these shots as much as I do!
