Gina’s Maternity Session

Posted in Maternity, Portraits, tagged belly, couple, maternity, Portraits on April 26, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Today’s post is very near and dear to my heart. I have known Gina since she was a baby…and now she is about to have her OWN baby. The whole thing is just too much for me to comprehend because I still see the cute little 5 year-old keeping up with her 3 big sisters.

Gina and her hubby Tony are going to bring a bouncing baby boy (AKA Mr. Baby) into the world next month, and I couldn’t be happier for them! I know that their house is going to be filled with so much love and laughter, and that Gina and Tony are going to be amazing parents. I’m so glad I get to witness this journey they are about to go on. Keep an eye out for Mr. Baby’s first photo session coming soon!

Brenna’s First Holy Communion

Posted in Children & Families, tagged children, church, Communion Photography, Portraits on April 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Up until recently, my only frame of reference for First Holy Communion photos was the following:

Yep, that’s me, age 7, on the day of my First Holy Communion wearing a dress that I believe several of my cousins wore as well (also, check out the bag…what did I need a bag for?? It’s not even big enough to hold a Barbie). So when Brenna’s mom asked me to take her Communion portraits, that was the picture that popped into my head. And although I am as cute as button (HA!), I knew I wanted to get a little more creative and take it outside the studio.

We were lucky enough to get into Brenna’s church (Sacred Heart in South Philly), then we took a ride over to FDR park for some fun outdoor photos, and headed back home for studio shots. I am SO happy with the results, and Brenna was a fantastic model, I hardly had to tell her to do anything! Here are some of my favorites, if you’d like to see more, check out the video!

Jonah

Hopefully all of you east coasters have been enjoying the amazing weather we’ve been having! This weekend made me crave the beach BIG TIME. I am just waiting for mother nature to slam us with a mid-April snowstorm, just to be funny.

Today’s post is on a shoot I did a few weeks ago – it was one of the first warm days of the season, and even though there aren’t any leaves on the trees yet I think it has a very spring-y feel! I met up with almost 2 year-old Jonah and mom and dad at FDR Park in South Philly for our session. Jonah’s mom, Heather, is an old family friend, and one of the things I love about photographing families is how many people I’ve been able to reconnect with and meet their new little families!

How CUTE is Jonah?? He was rockin’ his little striped jacket and collared shirt like a seasoned pro. To see more of this photo session, check out the video!
