{ Holden + Jameson // Philadelphia Family Photographer }

I love how little boys can be completely uninhibited. There's something about watching them joke and laugh and roll around in the grass that teaches us it wouldn't hurt to be as carefree as they are.

Holden + Jamie were such little men. They were totally willing to give me lots of smiles, but got completely lost in exploring and watching trains and Christmas trees around Longwood Gardens. I had so much fun with them and their parents...I love being around people who are so real and down to earth.

So please enjoy yet another Christmas session of a beautiful, happy, and vibrant family...







Family photo time!








Poor Jameson's hands were "freezing Dad!"



And then we HAD to see the trains! Best part of Longwood (for little boys!)










Then we took more family pictures! :)







Holden + Jamie played around...








This would be why I love photographing little boys...




And on the way back, we stopped by the trains one last time...












Merry Christmas guys! It was wonderful meeting you!!

{ Marlay + Maddie // Philadelphia Family Photographer }

Matt + Jen are my neighbors and have two very precious girlies. I get to see them often, as they live only one door away. :)

They wanted to have some Christmas photos taken, and I was so glad to bring my camera to their home...what an exhausting 30 second walk that was.

Anyway, we were musing about how it was just over a year ago since I last took photos for them, and yet now they had another daughter! It was so fun to photograph them as a family of four this year. It's always so fun to pull out my camera with friends... :)

Marlay was immediately happy to smile...




Mama with her girlies...




And Daddy and his girls...





One sweet and happy family!




Mar was on her game!










We went around back to get a few more shots...






Mike + Amy, thanks for letting us use your shed...even though you still might not know we did... ;)











Then Maddie went inside with her Papa to get warm and I took a few more of Marlay, who didn't seem to mind...





Merry Christmas guys! :)

{ Wendy's Session // Philadelphia Photographer }

Wendy flew in from the UK to spend some time with her sister and newly adopted nephew, Finn. (He's probably the cutest chunky monkey in the world!)

Wendy's sister Megan is my friend and neighbor and so she connected us knowing Wendy wanted photos taken for her new business in England!

We headed over to Longwood Gardens for the morning, a location that has yet to disappoint. Wendy was up for walking the extensive grounds to try lots of backgrounds, and she did such a wonderful job in front of the camera.

It was a fantastic shoot, followed by lunch and carrot cake (my fave!) with Wendy, Megan, and Finn. What a fun time we had together! :)












And here's one of Megan with Finn. Just because. :)
