Families in 2015

I captured over 21,500 moments in 2015. Here are ten that bring me particular delight. It’s very difficult to pick my favorite images when I’ve worked with so many wonderful souls that just shine so beautifully in front of my lens. However, I was compelled to sift through and consider what a fabulous year it’s…

When Liz and I met for her wedding consult she began with the normal details that all brides recount. She chatted at a quick clip about the location – the Society Hill Dance Academy, the timeline and various other details. She envisioned an intimate setting with her and Bob’s closest friends and family – a…

I am absolutely in love with this reveal. In case you don’t know, the reveal is a planned, captured moment for the bride and groom to see one another before the ceremony. On a practical side, it’s a wonderful way to get all of the formals out of the way so the couple can enjoy…

A few weeks ago I participated in my favorite bridal event; Brides Against Breast Cancer. I don’t generally work bridal expos or shows. It’s not my scene. Most of my wonderful couples comes from word of mouth and by putting my face out there in other, creative ways (Check out some of those beautiful couples…

Jill called me from Wisconsin. Wait. Maybe it was Minnesota. The only thing I remember is that when she told me, I thought, “Colder than Philadelphia.” and I shuttered a little. Either way, it was far away… and colder. She had some exciting news. She was pregnant!! I didn’t know Jill, but I was still…

They apparently changed their names to Prince Rama and learned to write music epically better than Jem ever did, but I guarantee the same elation one had a five years old, dancing in the mirror with hair brush in hand singing…

As I passed Kate Ferencz in the bathroom of the First Unitarian Church, my initial thought was, “Wow. These hipsters have really kicked it up a notch.” Smeared in dirt (or makeup or something), tatters of shirt dangled. Yet, somehow neatly tucked into early 20th century boy’s shorts. This was the next level, clearly. It…

On this snowy day I’m compelled to share a camera phone image – something I rarely do. However, occasionally, a moment with phone in hand will produce something truly compelling. This snap shot of my neighbor, who I adore for obvious reasons, is one such moment. She is amazing and this will not be the…

Melissa has been my most faithful fan (besides my fiancé, David, of course). It was with great joy that I provided my fourth photo session with her beautiful family in five years, in which her fifth wedding anniversary was celebrated. At this point I really should give her a photo session rewards punch card. Sincerely,…

At the end of my first session with Andrea, Dan and their, then, two year old son Christian, she disclosed that they hoped to have another baby in the near future asked me about a Watch Me Grow Series. The Watch Me Grow series documents the milestones of the first year of life. As a…
