I love watching this family grow. Anna has changed so much over the past year and so has Emily. Anna is almost walking, she has an adorable little dance move and giggles to match. We did this session on her 1st birthday, what a special occasion! Emily is a lively little lady who is infatuated with Frozen, as everyone should be, she also loves hanging out with her little sister.
The slideshow is pretty darn adorable, please feel free to check it out. There is some bonus footage at the very end of a special song from Emily. Its a must see.

I know its been a while. So sorry about that. I’ve been experiencing some weird glitches with the blog. Over the winter I will fill you in on everything that happened between September and December I promise.
As Thanksgiving approaches I’d say all the families that participated in this years winter mini sessions have a lot to be thankful for. Some amazing children here. We had a great time at the minis. Here are some highlights.

Five years old! Man how the time flies! Every year around Hutch’s birthday we do a shoot. This year we picked him up from his last day at Camp to go swimming and then a little birthday party. Hutch lives up to five for sure. Gave me a run for my money. The kid cracks me up.
Also you’ll notice a new logo. Beginning to roll out something new! Stay tuned!
One last run through the playground after camp before heading home. He kept trying to lose me. Oh man. The Hutch chase is on!
Not thrilled about having to leave the playground.
The escape artist.
They have a new permanent home, beautiful home! 
There’s that five-year old! Grass attack!!
We wanted to make sure to document his favorite summer past time. Swimming in the neighbors pool.
Water gun attack! Nice aim!
Back home to get dressed for the party. Haha, look at that face, think he was excited to get dressed?
Love the tip toes while admiring his balloons.
The cake is unveiled!
batman cake this year.
He even got a batman tattoo! Pretty special!
A little lovin from mom mom and pop pop.
Every year Hutch and pop pop have an athletic activity, which has mainly been baseball in the past. This year Hutch is trying out two wheels.
The neighbor kids and Hutch had it out for me!
Pizza time!
Three buds.
HAHA! Caption this. Too funny.
Taking a nice picture with a five-year old proves difficult. There is a nice one but honestly I prefer this one. Totally what was really happening.
Cake time!
I don’t think the kids had any argument about sitting down for cake.
That’s my moodybaby. 
Happy Birthday Hutch! 
There is more in the slideshow! Great to see everyone again this year!

I had a fun morning with the Yuan family up in the Poconos. Its not often that the entire family is together and this gathering was special to document the kids growing up and to celebrate their grandads 70th birthday.
These guys were quite energetic and silly.
an attempt to display their ages…
The whole family.
beautiful ladies
strong men! 
The kids had fun running for me. It was an every man for himself situation.
Thank you so much for having me up. Lovely family and fantastic kiddos.
You can see more in the slideshow.

I spent the day with the Rees Family down the shore in Ocean City. I’ve known the family for a long time now, working with Bill and Amy at Drexel. Its been a super long time since we did the last big group family pics. This shoot was a surprise for the grandparents. We had some casual beach time, just candid pictures documenting the summer. Then everyone went back and showered to head back to the beach for some more family portraits. It was a fun day, great family and lively kiddos. 🙂 Thanks for having me!
This looked like so much fun! Who doesn’t like getting launched into a wave?
One of my favorites.
moodybaby or what?!
Bill made the kids, but mostly himself, a car sand sculpture. 🙂
And now for the group family pictures.
All the grand kids.
Nice looking bunch!!
Each family and their kids with grandparents featured in the middle.
One last one with all the couples.
whew! Thats a big bunch. And just in case you are wanting more, be sure to watch the slideshow below!!
Great hanging with you guys!!

This family is growing and Samantha is being a fantastic big sister to Olivia. They are buds.
I spent a few minutes with Samantha before we woke up Olivia from her nap.
Sam is all girl. She loves her jewelry box.
Olivia has gotten so big since I saw her last!!!
Getting so big, reaching for her books.
A few snacks on the counter, we did something similar for Samantha when she was just a little younger than Olivia.
Samantha is all girl, but girl loves to play and swing. 
What a good sister!
Bath time!
A little after bath shot, on tush one big girl shopping in her own closet, she wishes she had a stool to get to the good stuff on the top rack!
It was great to see you! I’m excited to see you again in the fall. Can’t believe how fast the girls are growing.
Enjoy your slideshow!

Sebastian is one energetic little boy! He certainly keeps his parents on their toes! We had a fun time following this little man’s pace and watching him create his own adventures.
He loves the water fountain at Fitler Square.
See, on the move this kid!!
He loves the swings.
One last one with the pup!
It was fun spending the afternoon with you guys!
Don’t forget to watch the slideshow for more!

Its been five years now that I have been photographing this family! Seems a little crazy to think. They have come a long way from those parents experiencing everything for the very first time! They are still experiencing and learning new things everyday, it has made them great parents with a fun and loving family. I’m so happy to watch them grow every year and I have made a great set of friends in them along the way.
Ellie is almost two! Where did that time go?!
Like her sister, she’s full of personality.
See?
Abbie is always in motion, she was very excited to dance for me!
They are a great pair of sisters.
Louie the cat is a saint. He takes all sorts of abuse and torture. He is a great cat.
The faces are becoming a signature move for Abbie. I have no objections.
Everyone, cats included being held as per usual!
The basement has been turned into their very own personal amusement park.
Abbie demonstrates the proper way to get into the crib.
Watch out world!
Our now standard must have shot on the kitchen island. This year it involved chocolate chips and jimmies.
Beating the heat with the sprinkler.
Quite content to chill by the pool.
And just a little something extra. After our shoot there was a BBQ with all of the families from the mommy and me group they were in at the beginning. A five year anniversary party. They are all still close and see each other regularly. They are all moodybaby families as well. I am proud that I have been able to capture each family in pictures over the past five years. Special place in my heart for each of you!! It was great to see you all and be able to spend time with everyone at one time!
My fab five! haha!
Don’t forget the slideshow , there may be some dancing from Abbie!! Thank you guys.
