Waiting for Baby - Philadelphia Family Maternity Photographer

in ,

Nina is one of those kids that just totally steals your heart -- immediately.  She greeted me with a huge smile on her face and spent our entire session snuggling and playing with her mom and dad.  She ran, she explored, and she twirled around in the woods in her favorite dress.  And she seems to be pretty excited about becoming a big sister in a few weeks.  I had the best time doing a family maternity session with these three in one of my favorite Philadelphia spots.  I can't wait to see them again when their little guy arrives ...

Big Brother Enzo - Philadelphia Family Maternity Session

in ,

When we moved into our new house a year ago, we lucked out with the most incredible neighbors around -- including Nicole, Marco, and Enzo.  I have loved getting to know them, and couldn't wait to photograph them enjoying one of their final mornings as a family of three.  A planned outdoor family maternity session turned into a cozy in-home session instead, thanks to a chill in the air and a little rain falling down.  And sometimes these things just work out exactly the way they are supposed to, because their house was the PERFECT place for me to capture a bit of their connection ....

Marcella and Her Littles - Philadelphia Maternity Photographer

in

Marcella is truly one of the sweetest women that I have ever met.  She's as caring and down-to-earth as she is beautiful, a local Philadelphia doula, and lover of all things birth and babies.  I was thrilled to photograph her during one of the last afternoons of her pregnancy.  To be honest, I expected to have to work a little magic to make sure her three kiddos all made it in front of my camera, but I never needed to do any convincing at all -- From my first minute with them, they were hugging her legs, snuggling in, and desperate to be in photos.  They couldn't get enough of their gorgeous mom ...

Brittany, Judah, and Harper - Philadelphia Maternity Session

in

There are certain people who were born to teach and guide others, and Brittany is one of them.  She spends countless hours educating and empowering Philadelphia families through her work as a doula and childbirth educator, and has touched the lives of so many babies in our city!  She's also an incredible mom to two pretty awesome kids, and is preparing for her third babe to arrive in the days to come.   

Britt has so much love for all of the families she meets through her work with Blossoming Bellies Wholistic Birth Services, and she recently noted on her own website:  "I'm becoming more and more thankful for and inspired by the amazing women and families with whom I've had the pleasure of working over the past years since my last birth ....  Thank you for all that you've given me in return - inspiration, awareness, and empowerment in moving forward towards my own labor, birth, and new parenting of this next little one."    

A couple of weeks ago, we headed out to Fairmount Park to celebrate the end of her third trimester with a maternity session that would document one of her last days as a mama of two ...

Mama & Me Beach Maternity Session - Stone Harbor, NJ

in ,

One the highlights of my summer so far was photographing this beautiful mom with her boys on the beach in Stone Harbor.  I love being a Philadelphia maternity photographer, but when the heat is on, I also love getting a break from the city - and this is one of my favorite spots along the South Jersey shoreline.  I've been photographing this family for a few years now, starting with their lifestyle newborn session for Zeke -  who's now training to be a big brother.   I had the sweetest time doing this maternity session by the sea  and can't wait to meet their new baby when he arrives ...

Waiting for Baby Winter - Delaware Maternity Photographer

in

I knew that I would love working with this sweet mama from the first minute into my phone consultation with her. She wanted to capture her pregnancy with timeless, classic images.  She wanted photos that wouldn't go out of style.  What a pleasure it was to photograph her in the comfort of her home.  This maternity session was peaceful and filled with smiles as she talked about waiting to meet her baby girl ....
