Wow. I worked with this family several years ago when their oldest was turning one, and now they have another adorable little guy who was all sass, with quite the head of curls! Big brother was a champ and I just loved watching them all interact in their beautiful Main Line home and property. I love it when my clients play and do what they do– and boy did these kiddos deliver! I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I did creating them. 
This is such a beautiful family that I really struggled with narrowing down the photos since they look amazing in just about every picture! We had a beautiful day at Ridley Creek State Park and I had such a fun time getting to know them and their little dude. Oh, and I had the distinct honor of getting help them make their social media pregnancy announcement! So fun!
I am continuing my pursuit of lifestyle newborn photography! I love this new phase in my photography journey! Little Ellis was one month old when these were shot and I had such a great time working with him and his sweet family in their Coatesville home. I was connected to this family last minute and just in time since I was about to go on maternity leave myself! I hope you enjoy these precious family moments. 🙂
It was such a pleasure to work with this little dude for the second time after doing his newborn photos last year! I can’t believe how much he chunked up! We had lots of giggles and fun with cake– what a cutie!
My previous post featured my friend Laurie, her husband Nick, their sweet little girl Leah, and a very cute bump. I’m always so thrilled when maternity sessions lead to newborn sessions! Laurie is a fellow photographer and friend, and we’ve both fallen in love with lifestyle newborn photography. Over the past few months I have been transitioning my newborn work from posed images to more natural, family relationships. I adore the interactions between parents and their little ones, and I’m so excited to be starting this new project since baby Rishty #2 is on the way next month! In fact, Laurie and I have been participating in an online community of lifestyle newborn photographers, and today we are both involved in a connecting our blogs to other newborn photographer’s work!

Thank you, little Sophie, for being such a doll and a sweet little model for these heartwarming images. You are so loved already!
I was so happy to work with this amazing family again after doing their maternity photos over the summer! Stacy is a gorgeous mama and baby Lincoln was so adorable and sweet! This was a fun lifestyle session that I’m starting to focus on more with my newborns as opposed to the more posed newborn images. Enjoy the sweetness!

Baby Eloisa is one of the most precious little darlings I’ve ever met, her Mama is such a sweet, beautiful woman, her Daddy is fun and playful, and her big brother has a smile and personality beyond compare! It was a true honor and privilege to work with this fantastic family and their beautiful, new little girl! I had so much fun doing this shoot and was thrilled with how everything turned out. Thank you, Schantal, Jorge, Diego, and Eloisa for spending a fun, beautiful day with me and my camera!
I was so honored when my friend Michelle contacted me to do a photo shoot, because she is also a photographer!! (Check out her work at Moments by Michelle McTague Photography!) There is nothing more complimentary than someone in this field entrusting her own personal family photos to my creative judgement. We went to Longwood Gardens where there are always a variety of beautiful background including foliate, flowers, and fountains. It took little Jack a while to warm up, but after he did we got some phenomenal smiles! Thanks again, Michelle, Brian, & Jack!
I was so thrilled when Val’s cousin, Katie (for whom I have done 2 shoots in the past) got us in contact with each other for a shoot! After some scheduling drama, we were able to squeeze in this goodie at 7:30am, and I’m really glad we did since the park was unoccupied, the light was perfect, and the grass was so vibrant! We even got some perfect smiles from her sweet little girl. We had such a great time with these three! — at Everhart Park.
