Little Man on the Move | Lehigh Valley Children's Photographer

What better way to enjoy this must-appreciated taste of spring weather than to head outside with my favorite one-year-old? I can't believe how quickly a year went by, but yes, my littlest nephew is one! As usual I couldn't choose a favorite, so enjoy the long post. :)

I know this isn't the greatest photo, but I just love it. I don't know if it's the hat, the green monkey shirt or the way Alex was carrying that stick around and checking everything it out, but to me it just sums up "little boy."

This one is for Uncle Vince...

Belated Halloween | Lehigh Valley Children's Photographer

I spent this gift of a gorgeous weekend the best way I know how— taking pictures of gorgeous kids. After getting into the Christmas spirit with Mr. Blue Eyes from the previous post, I headed up to Allentown to explore the great outdoors with my nephew. He was a little unsure at first, but we managed to sneak some smiles out of him.

What a little prodigy...taking his first steps at 9 mos. old.

Superbaby! I missed the Halloween party, so Alex graciously donned his costume again to show off his super powers.

Being a superhero is serious business.

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:

Goodbye summer

It feels like summer had hardly begun this year before it was declared "over." Heck, my dahlia plant, which is supposed to bloom in late summer, just got its first bud last week. So I'm going to insist that summer hang around at least through the end of September to ensure that we get our fair due of sunny days and warm weather. I'm not quite ready to let go...

Here are a few shots of my friends' son during our long weekend at their lake house in NY. This was the only sunny day of our trip, but it was still a pretty entertaining time.

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.
