Baby Piper, Philadelphia “moodybaby” children portraits

My good friends Ryan and Kelly just welcomed their second daughter into the world last month, Piper.  (Yes, most of you will recognize Ryan, as in Ryan Estes, the one and only.) He is a great photographer, but even photographers need other photographers to document their families, otherwise we would never be in any images. That is the one downside to being a professional photographer, you are always taking the pictures!  It pays to have good friends in the same profession. 🙂

I did a similar shoot for them when their first Daughter Vienna was born and I was excited to go over to do the same for Piper.

Such a good big sister V is.  This image is one of my favorites. So classic.undefinedA little out take here as we let Piper chill and keep warm under the blanket, we are checking on her here. Cute sleepy baby.

Happy sleepy baby, love this one.undefined
Ah, haha that face kills me.undefined
Thought Ryan would get a kick out of this one.  🙂  Look they are making the same face.  Accidents do happen and one must be prepared. (Luckily my velvet is the washable kind.)undefinedundefined
Piper says hello world!undefined
In the comfort of moms legs.undefined
Oh those feet.undefined
One happy Estes family!undefined
Love this.undefined
Vienna playing a game of duck duck GOOSE! (she was wearing down a bit so I thought it would be good to get her moving for a minute.)

I love this.

Much much fun you guys!  So happy I could come over and do this for you.  Piper is adorable and I look forward to seeing your family grow.

Baby Sophia, Philadelphia “moodybaby” children portraits

Little baby Sophia had her first photo shoot at two weeks old.  She was darling and so good.

Everyone is very excited to welcome her into the family.

Love this one with Mom.undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined
Ari is Sophia’s big brother.  He is very into dinosaurs. I have promised to bring him some sort of dinosaur present when I see them next. undefined
This is a bit of an outtake but I love it. So sweet.undefinedundefined
Ari being a good brother and sharing his lolly pop.undefined
One happy daddy!!undefined

It was so much fun meeting Sophia.  She is adorable and I can’t wait to see how much she changes over the next few months.

Rees Family, Merry Christmas Family Shoot

I spent a lovely afternoon with the Rees family as they decorated their tree and prepared for Christmas a few weeks ago. Its the perfect session to get into the Christmas spirit!

I go way back with this family, I worked with Bill at Drexel for six years (when I worked there full time) and the last family session I did for these guys was when Connor was about Aaron’s age. Its been a while. Love this family and it was great to meet baby Aaron and get acquainted with everyone again.


This will be baby Aaron’s first time Christmas and he begins in the traditions of the family. You will notice the pickle ornament….. This ornament is usually hidden by Mom in the tree and on Christmas morning the person to find it first gets an extra present.  Fun tradition.  On this day Connor hid it for everyone else to try and find, he did a pretty good job!
Something about this I love of Bill and Aaron, like father like son?
Love those squishy baby cheek kisses!
This just fascinates me.  Look at Busters tongue!  He is totally picking his nose. 🙂
Connor has been visited by the tooth fairy a lot very recently…. He is probably the richest boy on the block!
The “usual” scene in the play room.
Time to build the train track..
Do you see a pattern here?
Aaron’s first experience with the train set!
Morgan attempting to find the pickle!
Time for a few more traditional shots, with personality of course.
Mighty good looking family!
The girls
They boys
Aaron is such a sweetie and cutie.
Love love this.
The jumping portion of this shoot was a hit.
I enjoy how Morgan has her tongue hanging out.
I am attempting a new way of slideshows……This is a first for me…and there is a little treat in this show with some video mixed in. Let me know how you like it.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday!

Baby Charlie, Moodybaby Session

Sweet sweet little Tiny, as Charlie was known as in mom’s belly, the nick name still stands as he starts to grow.  We did a belly shoot with Rachel and Trevor back in October and I was eagerly awaiting this moodybaby shoot to meet the new little man.


Trevor is doing his residency in Bloomsburg, he has been very busy with a hectic schedule so being home and “awake” with mom and baby for this shoot was pretty special.
I think Rachel thinks so too in this image.
A little nursing time.  I love the little swirls in Charlies hair.
“Ahhh, thats good stuff mom..”
He is a cute little chubby guy.
“Hey mom, look at me hanging out with dad!”

I love his little bassinet. He is very good at being on his own, but mom and dad can’t keep their eyes off him.
I think this is pretty much what all new parents do half the time.
Hey Dad!
I LOVE this image. I think this is exactly how Rachel spends a good majority of her days.
This is a tad conceptual.  They have been renovating their kitchen and when I was there in October for the belly shoot we did some similar shots here.  Except there was no sink, or counter-tops, or cabinets, or floor…..
Awe.
We also did similar shots during the belly shoot in front of the bookcase.
Tiny feet and strong hands.
Awe!
Rachel’s satisfaction watching Trevor do a diaper change! Yeah! 🙂
You guys are awesome, I love Charlie.  He is such a little cuddle bug, so sweet!!! I can’t wait to see how big he gets next year.

Enjoy the slideshow!

Bodin & Ilyana, Philadelphia Moodybaby Session

I spent a wonderful fall morning with Bodin, Ilyana and family.  These kiddos are so cute, Bodin was a little shy at first but when I asked him to show me his room and some toys he perked right up!

Flying a plane


We took some height measurements, the last date it was done was in August and Bodin has had a growth spurt since then.
Having some tea in Ilyana’s room
Such a cutie.
This is one cool kid.
The whole family
I love this one.
Awe.
I’ve been wanting an excuse to shoot in front of this mural, these guys live in the neighborhood so it was perfect!
I really love the little candid moments
LOVE this, I mean come on!
This was just a funny observation, Ilyana really takes after her daddy.  They have such similar mannerisms!
A new way of drinking milk.
We ended with some story time.
It was such a pleasure spending time with you guys!  Thank you for having me over.

Baby Chase and Big Sister Eve, Philadelphia Family Portraits

Last I visited these guys Chase was just a bump in moms belly, I don’t believe I ever shared any of the belly shots on the blog!


Eve was very excited then to be a big sister and she is doing a fantastic job with the title now as you will see.


We started off our session outside playing on the swing.
Chase is now eight months old! Crazy how time flies.
These guys are just an adorable family.
I think this may just be the most perfect family portrait….
Time for little Chase’s close up.
I loved his little toes
Making dad proud, excited about the Porsche book!
Eve is such a good big sister.
I love this!
We ended with a pillow fight.  🙂I had so much fun with you guys!

Meena & Max, Fall Family Shoot

I love this family. We always have a great time together.  This session started with Max’s bath.  He is currently not enjoying bath time at all, so it was a necessary and very quick bath.
Poor little guy.


Awe, he really makes a case for himself doesn’t he?


He was still crying and upset through getting dressed and out the door, BUT once we got to the park he really perked up.
I adore this.
Sliding with daddy and sister Meena.
Meena making a break for it.
Max was doing really well walking Maddy and Toby.
Stopping to smell the flowers.
The family group shot was a tad challenging this year, but certainly not impossible. 🙂
I happen to really love this one.
We went through a lot of up and down moods as you can see.
cute Max toes.
Back home to carve and paint some pumpkins.
Pretty crafty!
A few more attempts with the whole family, I like that Maddy and Toby and looking through the door.
Max not knowing whether to laugh or cry, a little in between.
Being tossed by daddy was a winner!Its always fun with you guys!

Enjoy the slideshow!

The Kielinski’s, Linvilla Orchard Family Photos.

A few weeks ago we joined our good friends Linette and Kyle at Linvilla Orchards to pick some apples and take some family photos. It was raining but that didn’t stop us, if anything I think it added to the experience.

Carver, proud of his apple.
