Precious little girl | Newborn photography

It's been quite a while since I've photographed a little girl. Though I certainly can't complain about the adorable little boys I've been chasing for the last few photo shoots, it was fun to choose from frilly clothes and bows for this little lady.

Santa's on his way...

Just a quick post before I head out the door for another shoot...Try not to let this little guy steal your heart!

Happy 2nd Birthday | Lehigh Valley Children's Photography

Two years old. It's hard for me to believe how quickly the last two years have gone and how much this little guy has grown. The son of two of my closest friends, Sean has quickly become the center of attention at our weekly dinners. He always keeps us entertained with his antics and good sense of humor and he definitely inherited some of his father's ridiculousness.

I love this expression...he's such such a mischievous look.

He did this pose all by himself.

Philadelphia Portrait Photography | 2009 Holiday Cards

It may seem like I'm jumping the gun a bit, but in fact it's the most wonderful time of the year — for holiday card portraits. How many times in the past week have you heard, "I love this time of year!" The temperature is perfect, the leaves are starting to change colors, the Phillies are headed to the playoffs and best of all, the world just seems to glow around 5 or 6 o'clock as the sun starts setting.

All this means it's the best time to round up the kids and give me a call! There are limited spots available to take advantage of the holiday portrait package, which includes a portrait session, an 8x10, two 5x7s and 50 custom-designed holiday cards for $275.

To help kick off the season I teamed up with designer Tara Askin to offer you some wonderful new holiday card options. Check out these samples:

I have no self control...

Saturday we took Alex out to Cedar Beach in Allentown for his six month photos. We got the perfect glowy light, and even though it was pretty toasty outside, Alex stayed in good spirits for most of the shoot. Just when we thought he was about done, his daddy showed up and he just couldn't stop smiling and jabbering away. He's just so freaking adorable that even at the risk of boring you I just couldn't narrow down these photos any more.

What's better than a bucket hat on a baby?

Ok, a monkey might be cuter.

These next few are special requests from Alex's dad...

His beautiful mom...I guess it's easy to see why he's so good looking.

Beautiful glowy light...it was so worth chancing the cranky baby.

This is when Daddy arrived at the shoot...notice the huge smile.

We decided to end the shoot by popping him in the water. We weren't sure how he'd react, but I'm so glad we went for it because these are my favorite shots. He looks like a little Buddha...

The blue, the green, the adorable kid, I just couldn't resist. I told you, no self control.

Nephews Part II

Here's David's doting big brother, Danny I wasn't sure how cooperative he was going to be, since he's a kid who is always on the move, but Danny was a natural little model.
