{ Ali + Jack // Philadelphia, PA Family Photographer }

I seriously love this family. I know I say that about every family I photograph, but watching them together literally lifts my heart.

In a world where we often put on happy faces when underneath we are empty, this family is the real deal. They love one another. They delight in each other. They're so happy. And it makes me happy too.

Here are the many faces of Ali. These were all taken within the five minutes they arrived... :)













Meanwhile, little brother Jack seemed ready to go golfing...or something... :)



One of the things that always catches my attention about this family is Ali's relationship with her Daddy. She's this tiny little princess and he's a big strong man, and they are such a pair. I absolutely love watching them together.





What a beautiful, genuine, loving family. I mean every word.









She loves him SoOoO much!









This girl seriously cracks me up...



Twirling...











Sweet buddy.









Ok, quick warning to any client who have children with curls...You'll probably have lots of pictures of the back of your children's heads, as I can't even stand the cuteness...







See what I mean? All love.





Ali sure loves her Mama too!!!





And you know where that love first begins? Here:





We were joking that this was a mock Wedding shoot, but I guess that's not too far from the truth... ;)





Longwood Gardens has an insanely beautiful & fun arboretum we explored. Cool beans.







Details!! It's all about the details!!





Watching the water fountain with Dad and best friend Naomi...



I warned you about the curls...



Mr. Patient:



Love.





And last but not least, Mom and her little dude...









Peace out heartbreaker...



Until next time.
