{ Peter + Catherine... + Puppies // Philadelphia, PA Photographer }

On an unseasonably warm afternoon in February, I had the pleasure of meeting Peter, Catherine (the girl of his dreams), and their two (very loved) puppies...

Like I often say, one of the reasons I love taking photos is because when we carve out time to enjoy and document those we love, it helps everything else fall into perspective.

In the midst of busy work and school schedules, Peter and Catherine had some time to stare into each others eyes like teenage lovers and remember how blessed they are to have memories together that date back to when they were too young to know what butterflies in their stomaches felt like.

But here they are, years later, and the butterflies have come. And I have a feeling they'll stay around oh, say, a lifetime...

My oh my, life has been ever so full in the best of ways!

I'm sure many of you would agree, lots going is evidence of LIFE happening with you and those you love...

Sometimes though, it is good to have the world seem to stop turning for a bit so that you can drink the amazingness that a precious new baby brings.

So friends, will you pause with me to admire the sweetness that is bundled up in this little person? :)

I wish you the world, little prince.

Well hello there. You're in for a treat today, as I'm just posting pictures of two of the cutest little chaps around.

These brothers and their parents are truly some of my favorite clients ever (though, I've been called on for saying that about EVERY shoot I do.) But for real, they are one in a million. Or, well, four in a million...

This family's photo session from the fall is one of my favorites.to.date. I really don't know what was better, laughing so much with them as I clicked away or the moment when little Jamie asked if I was coming to dinner with them all afterwards.

My heart has officially melted.
