Hyden’s first birthday party (it’s a special one)!

February 17, 2012 By Melissa 7 Comments

First birthdays include family and friends, some balloons, a cake, presents, maybe some other little kids, food, and some decorations right? Well, take all of that and step it up about 10 notches, imagine that! Everything was amazing down to the last detail! As most of you know, we specialize in wedding photography and have only ever shot 1 other birthday party (besides Ava and Bella's parties). We are drawn to weddings mostly because it allows us to capture every emotion the way we see … [Read more...]

Jacob as a 1 year old

Philadelphia_children's_photography_M2 04

I'm going to just come out and say it.....I LOVE THIS LITTLE BOY! He had me at his first cry 1 year ago when we shot his newborn shoot. Maybe some of you recognize him as the handsome little ring bearer at Joann & Emir's Please Touch Museum wedding. Seeing Jacob again has been another reminder of how fast time flies right on by. It seemed like he was born yesterday. Now, he's a 1year old and has developed his own amazingly sweet personality. It's truly amazing having the … [Read more...]

Welcome Jaxon!

October 16, 2011 By Melissa Leave a Comment

Capturing a wedding is one thing....fun, hectic, emotional, amazing...all of those feelings in one day. It's another thing to capture that same couple's new adventure into parenthood. All the same feelings apply. Parenthood is at times extremely emotional, hectic, fun, and most definitely amazing. I'm so happy to introduce one of our previous bride and groom's little boy, Jaxon. Christian and Andrea, both being teachers, were destined to be parents. We couldn't be happier for them, … [Read more...]

Meet Mr. Ian!

Philadelphia_Children_Photography_Ian 13

Not only is Ian incredibly cute, he's also very charming. This stage of the first year is a fun one (10-12 months). He's already walking (a lot), which blew my mind. He tumbled, bumbled his way down a small hill or two, but considering his age, he walked very well. As most of you know, we've been having a lot of rain. Well it didn't rain on the day of the shoot, but the ground was sure wet and muddy. Mommy and Daddy allowed him to have a little fun and get a little dirty … [Read more...]

Meet Audrey, Again| Childrens Portraiture

April 19, 2011 By Melissa 2 Comments

Our second shoot of the weekend was Audrey. This adorable little girl, full of personality. We first met Audrey 1 year ago when we took pictures of her when she was only 6 months old. I couldn't believe how much she's grown and matured over the last year. See the difference yourself from the last shoot, Baby Fever. She is now 18ish months old and looks like a 3 year old. Michael and I know all to well how fast kids grow, but it still amazes me every time I see the progression in … [Read more...]

Handsome little Reese | Ridley Creek State Park

March 15, 2011 By Melissa 2 Comments

Reese. Let's start out by saying how much I love his name. I still think of chocolate whenever I hear or say it and well, what woman doesn't love chocolate? He already has that working for him. He also has style, I suppose mom, Julie can take most of the credit for this now. His outfit consisted of khakis, a long sleeved shirt with a tie printed on it, and a jean jacket. Michael loved his tie shirt so much that, I'm currently looking for one just like it for him (well a couple … [Read more...]

the world welcomes another precious baby.

February 10, 2011 By Melissa 7 Comments

On January 29th, the world was blessed with another precious baby. And yesterday, we got the opportunity to photograph him. Meet Jacob Yuh! Jacob was sleeping peacefully when we first arrived. I'm convinced he sensed us (or maybe just Michael) and woke up not long after we got there. There were some challenges during this shoot, but we work around all the little cries. Each and every newborn shoot we've done has had its own challenges. Being able to capture the first days … [Read more...]

Meet Finley

January 28, 2011 By Melissa Leave a Comment

A new year, a new baby to photograph. Just a little over 2 weeks after being born, poor Finley had unfamiliar faces, cameras, and lights flashing in her face. At times, she was not happy with us, but then again, what baby would be? At one point, she was so upset with us that I'm pretty sure she tried aiming her pee at Michael, haha. I couldn't help but laugh to myself when typing that. Finley was so tiny and so precious. Seeing her brought back many memories of when our girls were … [Read more...]

Cole…a Handsome Little Fella | Valley Forge National Park

November 7, 2010 By Michael 3 Comments

This has been our first wedding-free weekend in months. Although, weddings have slowed down for us in Novemember, we've been booking portrait sessions from every direction (not that we mind, it keeps us busy and we enjoy them). This weekend we took portraits of Cole, a handsome little guy! I've been wanting a baby boy for awhile now and ironically the last few baby portraits we've done have been boys. Could it be a sign? Probably not, but my womb still aches for one, haha. Despite … [Read more...]

Baby Jonathan | Philadelphia

August 23, 2010 By Michael 6 Comments

Look out parents with daughters, Jonathan's been born. This little man is a charmer already at 3 months old. We met with him and his parents Jon & Maria maybe a month or two ago. We were immediately drawn to them. It's a beautiful thing when we get to see families like theirs. Hanging out with them yesterday at their home just affirmed everything we thought. They are a truly loving and happy family. That's a big deal people. =0) Usually when working with a baby, more than a … [Read more...]
