I had the great pleasure of photographing Addison and her parents for the first time in their Bridesburg home.  I was so delighted to photograph a family so close to my home!  There were no bridge tolls or “roundabouts” and I could consistently make left turns on my drive there!  (To my many  NJ clients and friends, you know I love you….. but I often wish you were closer and in a more navigable state!)

ANYWAY,  Addison was fantastic for her portraits.  She missed her nap for my visit but she was still so happy and energetic.  She ran back and forth showing me all of the fun stuff she has to play with.  Some of those items were her favorite little pink chair, a stuffed animal that she loved to hug and kiss, a teapot, a collection of adorable shoes and a puzzle.  She is beautiful and has the most stunning big blue eyes.  Without further ado…. here she is:

Love this one….  Addison does a really great “fishy face”.

I couldn’t decide to post the black and white or color of these next two.  And, so, I posted both!

Addison’s shoe collection would surely make most girls jealous.  So cute!!!

another session with the beautiful Lucia!!!  There isn’t much to say except that I love this little girl!  and…. her parent’s are pretty cool too. 

I know… I know…. I am VERY behind on my blog!  Christmas in January!

Here are some favorites:

hey, look Lucia, Lucia’s Mom & Dad and me in the ornament!

Lucia loves her two kitty’s!

I couldn’t help but think of my sister and brother in law when photographing this family.  2 adorable boys and a baby girl.   Ethan, Dylan & Isabelle (Bella).

I have 2 nephews and am expecting a niece this april!  (yay!)  Though my oldest nephew will only be 3 in may and Ethan, the oldest here, 5, the similarities were still there.  It continues to amaze me the work these parents do!  I feel busy some days just caring for my cat. 

Anyway, as soon as I arrived I was greeted by the still sleepy from his nap, Dylan; the energetic, inquisitive and informative Ethan and the adorably happy 4 month old, Bella.  Ethan enjoyed giving me a hand-held guided tour of the neighborhood on our walk to the nearby park.  At the playground Dylan definitely awoke from his sleepiness and had a great time running around and playing on the equipment.  As daylight was escaping fast, we captured some moments there and then headed back to the house to photograph the beautiful baby Bella!

Here are a few favs…..

I had the pleasure of meeting a very beautiful 1 1/2 year old little girl named Sienna!  Sienna is beautiful and adorable all wrapped in one.  She was such an absolute pleasure to photograph! Sienna’s grandmother set up a a surprise portrait session at her house as a gift  for her son and daughter in law.  As it was very cold and a bit rainy that day we stayed inside…. which proved to be a great idea.  There were floor to ceiling windows that created a great light and kept Sienna interested.  We did tease her a bit by telling her that her friends were outside the window.  She was calling their names out and everything!  Too cute!  So sorry for that, Sienna! 

Without further ado…. here she is!

I love these of Sienna holding portraits of her family and kissing her Dad!

i met up with one of my favorite families for some halloween/ fall portraits. okay, so it was quite hot out that day and there weren’t many fall leaves… but still! this is the third time in less than a year that i have photographed Lucia. she is beautiful and is always so happy!! she is growing so fast too! for this session, she was sitting up all by herself and is developing such an adorable personality! we definitely wore her out with 3 outfit changes and lots of sun…. but she still did great!

here is Lucia all dressed up as a devil for halloween…. and yes, her ultra crafty and festive mom did make this costume….. dress, tail, horns,pitchfork and all! i am super impressed! Check out her Etsy website here: Pink Savannah

clearly, that was just a costume…. because she is really an angel. seriously, look how angelic she is!

last but not least…. one of my favorites from the day…
