I went to high school with one of these mamas and we even have the SAME birthday. She has been living in Florida for awhile now (and works at Disney World!) and started a family down there. She reached out to me in early January and asked what my availability was like because she and […]
As I sit here, bundled up in my sweatshirt and sweatpants, looking at photos from this session, I think, “Wow, how long ago was that?!” I can feel the warm sun, see their sun-kissed skin, and recall that the babies weren’t in the least bit cold. Now we aren’t even bringing the younger kids to […]
This family took their photos at Princeton U. last year, so I knew I had to find a cool spot for this year’s session. (And by cool, I do NOT mean cold… getting flashbacks from last November when the girls were melting down about how cold it was— although, as always, you would never know […]
I arrived at this location a bit before the family I was meeting because I hadn’t been there in awhile and I wanted to make sure it still looked the same as it did in my memories. Not much is more jarring than arriving at one of “my” locations that I haven’t been to in […]
When I send out my questionnaires to my clients, I ask if they have a particular vibe in mind for the session location. This mom said she wanted us to be in her parents’ backyard, which was a few acres surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected farmland. I was definitely intrigued! She sent me […]
The littlest guy in this family just wanted to run. He was hard to keep still so we had to be on the move for most of the session— which would have been fine (and still was!) but it was a warm evening aaaand mom was wearing heels. Everyone was good natured though and we […]
In December, I took this family to a beautiful garden for their maternity photos. Then in January, they welcomed their handsome little man and I took their newborn photos in their home. Fast forward to March, and I received an email from this mom that said, “Don’t think I’m crazy, but I would love to […]
We had an epic cake smash planned. The two kids were both celebrating birthdays this month and everyone was going to get in on it. When the family arrived to the session, I thought mom was going to cry. “I forgot the cake!” she whispered. I assured her that we would still have a superfun […]
My client aka roomie from college has wanted a cherry blossom family session since I started my photography business but, like it does sometimes, life got in the way. This year, we got it on the calendar months ago. And then, since cherry blossoms are at the mercy of Mother Nature and are not guaranteed […]
