Elias’ First Birthday Celebration

Elias had an awesome “Lumberjack” themed 1st Birthday party! I feel like this little man was just born. Time is flying! It was another great afternoon with one of my oldest client families 🙂 Happy Birthday, Kiddo!

A Highland Park Portrait Session: Meg and John

It is always so flattering for a fellow photographer to ask you to take their family photos. Meg and John met me out in Highland Park on a chilly afternoon in December with their pup for portraits. Here are a few of my favorites! (To be honest, it’s more than a few. I had a hard time picking favorites, lol)

Peters Lake Park: 2016 Mini Sessions (Part 2)

If you look closely, you can see the first little snowflakes for the season in these mini sessions! Burnt orange leaves on the ground, with winter sneaking in. I wrapped up my 2016 mini sessions with these three adorable families on a chilly Sunday by the lake. Lots of fun photos and warming up with snuggle photos. 🙂

Duckstein Family Session, Fall 2016

This family session means so much for so many reasons. I have watched these kiddos grow so much over the past 4 years, from adorable babies to awesome children. They have such an amazing and fun energy, that I always forget I am working! In addition, one of the family pups passed away less than a week after our session. My heart breaks for this beautiful family, but I am so glad I was with them to snap a few shots. I know Nayah is in puppy heaven, having a ball. <3 XOXO2016-11-21_0001.jpg 2016-11-21_0002.jpg2016-11-21_0003.jpg2016-11-21_0004.jpg2016-11-21_0005.jpg


Newborn Session: Cora Marie

There is nothing more amazing than a newborn baby. I feel so lucky to be invited into a family’s home as they embark on parenthood. Jill and Brian are wonderful people and have already become great parents to their beautiful baby girl, Cora. Plus, if you love Penn State, this will be your kind of kiddo. 🙂

Newborn Session: James Stephen

Baby James totally melted my heart. I had the opportunity to meet and cuddle this little man at 3 weeks old. His mom and dad could not be more proud and happy! Congratulations to this adorable family!

Newborn Hospital Session: Avery Wren

My beautiful best friend gave birth to her perfect daughter in the early hours of Wednesday, June 22nd. I was so honored to be there in the first hours of her life, and also to capture when she met her big brother Dylan. I absolutely adore both of Courtney and Jack’s babies. Congratulations to the Santo family, and especially to Dylan for his new and very important job title of “Big Brother”.

Newborn Hospital Session: Aubrey Rose

This little beauty is particularly close to my heart, because she made me an Aunt. Miss Aubrey Rose was born early in the morning on Wednesday, June 22nd at Magee Women’s Hospital, perfect and healthy. I am so proud of Emily for giving birth to such a lovely little girl. Her and my brother, Zach, are already amazing parents! I am so excited for our babies to grow up together!
