Sometimes you just don’t need to even write anything to tell just how much fun you had during a session photographing a beautiful set of boy/girl twins…

It was awesome meeting you guys yesterday–thanks again!

I must admit having a very hard time keeping a straight face this evening during dinner when my husband asked about how my session this morning went and where my clients lived.

“Spain,” I said.

“Huh?” he replied, obviously dumbfounded. “Really? They came all that way to see you?”

(Nah, they’re visiting family in Bucks County, but we won’t tell him that. ;)

Our annual trek to Cape May recently ended (*sniff*), but while we were on vacation, I was excited to meet with Jess & Dave and their boys, who are all lifelong natives of Avalon, to photograph their family. The night we got together for our brief session was rather hectic and crazed with thunder rumbling in the background and overcast skies (and the radar) promising an imminent downpour and storm. As such, Jess suggested a little out-of-the-way boardwalk sanctuary right by the lighthouse so that we could run back to the car quickly just in case it started raining near the end of our session (which it did ;).

Back here at home, I got a chance to really start going through her session, and I had to chuckle a little as the portraits don’t look very “beachy” for them being taken just a few steps from the shoreline. But I suppose if you’re from the shore, chances are the sand and the surf may look just as commonplace as grass and trees to us. Ah, what a wonderful life that must be to never leave vacation! :)

I worked with this family in late June, and they may, quite possibly, be my winners for most sessions ever rescheduled. :) Originally, our session was scheduled for late April, but bad weather on seemingly every day that we rescehduled, and a sudden family illness that took them out of the country for a little while, definitely thwarted our attempts to get the session rescheduled soon after the first one was rained out (or was it too chilly for sundresses that day? Or both?).

It’s really my sincerest hope that the day I actually photographed their family–which was cloudless and warm–that connecting as a family and spending some joyful time with their kids helped bring a bit of sunshine to a difficult time for their family.

xox,

There are some kids that are just *so* darn easy to photograph that you almost feel guilty getting paid to do it. Ethan was one of those: just an adorable little guy filled with tons of smiles. I had such a great time meeting him and his family and romping on his grandparent’s beautiful farm.

Talk about pressure.

Wanna know the last time these three had professional pictures taken? Caroline was a baby. And since James, the oldest, is graduating next week from Exeter and headed off to college in the fall, chances are the next time they have their picture taken together professionally will be when he gets married.

Certainly, their mom didn’t put me under any sort of pressure, but I definitely wanted to make sure she got some fabulous portraits of her kids since this will, more than likely, be her last chance to capture all three of them while they’re still living together and before they start families of their own.

Congrats on your graduation, James–and best wishes this fall! Thanks again to everyone for a fun session (which I know one of you loved more than you’ll admit, LOL)…

One of the awesomest (yes, it’s a word, no matter what my spell check says) parts of my job this past year has been meeting quite a few new additions to families I’ve worked with in the past. Emily is the little sister of Ava, who I photographed both as a newborn and also last summer at the beach. (You can see her sessions here and here.)

Now I know that few hours I spend photographing newborns doesn’t really say everything about their personality or temperament, but Ava was one of the easiest babies to date that I’ve ever worked with. So knowing how different my kids were/are from one another, I was totally expecting a more challenging session with Emily thinking that no family ever gets *that* lucky to have two easy-going babies. To my pleasant surprise, Emily was as much of a photographer’s dream as her sister. Perhaps there’s something extra special in their DNA that makes such agreeable and beautiful babies!

Congrats again, Joey & Kelli! All my best to you and much, much love.

Love those baby smiles caught on camera…

And because I couldn’t resist taking one of Ava…

Meet Sienna Jade. An appropriately colorful name for an artist’s daughter. AND, the beautiful little girl of the wedding couple I photographed just a little over a year ago.

You have no idea how fortunate I feel to be able to photograph the day they celebrated their love AND the day they fell in love with their new little baby. A beautiful circle:

All of my very best and my warmest congratulations to you Amy & Jimmy!

Silver white winters that melt into springs…

Really, after the winter we had this past year, is it NOT anyone’s favorite thing this year? :) What a treat to spend the morning outside yesterday with baby Cole and his parents on such a gorgeous spring day.

By the way, since I wound up moving so many of my spring mini sessions clients to the earlier part of the month due to the fabulous weather we had in early April, I have 1-2 sessions that opened up for early to mid May. Please call me ASAP if you may be interested in a spring mini! 610.223.9700

I’m a few days late blogging this session, which occurred over the Easter weekend with a very special family in the midst of quite an adventure! From Texas, they’re on a brief layover here in Reading for the holiday to visit family and friends, on their way to Switzerland. Not to visit, mind you, but to live.

Even though we moved very frequently from state-to-state during my childhood, and even though my father is foreign (he was born in Australia), I’m always struck by the bravery and adventurous spirit of families who decide to embrace not only a change of scenery, but also a change in country and culture. Best wishes, safe travels and happy blessings to all of you!
