Welcome to the world, Jade! I can’t wait to share these newborn portraits at home in Media PA with you! I’ve been photographing Jade’s parents Julianna and Dave since 2014, when they got engaged. They got married at Rodale Institute and before we knew it, they were growing their family. I photographed their son’s newborn […]

There is nothing more special to me than capturing my couples and their growing families. I captured Lauren and Mike at Ridley Creek State Park during their beautiful engagement session. Recently, I had the chance to photograph them as new parents to their beautiful baby boy, Mason, during their Chadds Ford PA newborn session. Newborn […]

Welcome to the world, Luca! I adored working with this sweet family to capture their studio newborn photos in Media PA. These three were easily  the sweetest little family and Carley and Matt have fallen so easily into their new roles as Mom and Dad. Carley decided a studio session would be ideal for their […]

The Philadelphia newborn portraits truly have my heart because of my love for new parents, Kimberly and Shane. I’ve worked with this sweet couple several times over the last few years. Together, we’ve documented their engagement session, COVID elopement, bigger wedding celebration, and their maternity session at Longwood Gardens. Now, they’ve welcomed their darling baby […]

Welcome to the world, Brynlee! I had the honor of photographing sweet Brynlee’s Philadelphia studio newborn session in Philadelphia this year to celebrate her arrival.

James is Christina and Greg’s first baby and he was an absolute angel during our in-home newborn portraits. He slept like a champ and was so settled the whole time! This is part of why I encourage parents to schedule their newborn session between the first 7-10 days of their baby’s arrival home. Babies at […]

Welcome to the world, Baby Bowen! I’ve been waiting to meet this little guy since I began working with his parents, Kristen and Jesse. They chose a shortened membership plan through Le Papillon, which meant that we photographed Kristen’s maternity session and a newborn session when Bowen arrived. His Media PA lifestyle newborn session did […]

One of the most real joys of being a wedding and family photographer in Philadelphia is watching my couples become parents, and then grow their families. Lauren and Jason are one of those couples. Last year, they welcomed their first son, Cooper, to the world and asked me to document their first session as a […]
