{ Finn + Family // Philadelphia, PA Family Photographer }

Finn is quite possibly the most cheerful, kissable little dude around. I'd wager to say he can turn anyone's bad day into one of smiles and laughter.

He's just the happiest little man...always so content and easy going. His little laugh is contagious, and his hugs warm your heart.

I feel so blessed to know Finn and his parents. Heck, they live across the street so I get my fill of cuddles pretty often. They're just such a loving family, and it's refreshing to be around them.

So my dear Finn, I hope you know how very loved you are...

{ Andrew, Elizabeth, + Joseph // Philadelphia, PA Family Photographer }

Do you believe in fairy tales?

My friend Elizabeth grew up with Andrew. As years passed, their hearts were knit together. There were probably picnics under old oak trees involved, I don't know, but somehow love for one another found its way deep into their hearts.

He finally asked her to be his, and this past fall they married. I don't call myself a wedding photographer, but somehow they talked in to photographing their wedding...It was absolutely exquisite and magical in every way. Just like them.

Well Andrew, Elizabeth, and their son Joseph drove from New Jersey to Valley Forge Park here in PA so I could spend some more time documenting their family in a more intimate setting.

It was a perfect day, and I left feeling absolutely refreshed from our time together. What a blessing they are...all together, forever.

There may or may not have been a George Washington look-a-like sighting right after these were taken...

Joseph... :)

There was this amazing little spot with fantastic light peeking thru so I asked Elizabeth to stand there. I was snapping away and was like, "Wow, you are beyond beautiful!!" Andrew quickly agreed...

I said to him, "Joseph, can you sit here for a second? I want to get a couple last shots of just you."

This is what he gave me...
