Philadelphia Family Photographer | 1 Year | Clara

Family

Charlotte arrived a few years back.  Now I’m not saying that she’s an obsolete model, but version 2.0 just celebrated her first birthday.  Feature-wise, Charlotte can walk and talk.  Clara, on the other hand, crawls and climbs like it’s her job and offers up the most adorable “Teek Ku” when you give her something.

I may have already set plans in motion for her betrothal to my child.  It seems only right since they were born on the exact same day, only two hours apart.

We played with the whole family at their Graduate Hospital home.  Charlotte kindly let us use her bed for snuggles and tickles.  A family photoshoot is the perfect time for a ticklefest!

I love the quiet moments of Clara with mama Kelly in the nursery.

It’s pretty impossible to resist a baby in a tutu with a cake (a funfetti giant cupcake cake with multicolored sprinkles, in case you were wondering).  The curiosity, joy, and downright devastation is perfection.

Happy birthday, little Clara.  I look forward to having you as a daughter-in-law someday!

Philadelphia Newborn Photographer | Ciaran
Ciaran Quinn is kinda sorta (but not by much) Irish. That doesn’t really matter. What matters is that I got to meet him mere days after he was born. I arrived at Lindsay and Andrew’s home in Philadelphia (I’m not good enough to know neighborhoods – it was a beautiful street kinda sorta near Penn Treaty Park). I was welcomed by the new parents and their first children: Dudley, a 6 year old Schnauzer mix, and Stella, a 5 year old Collie mix. It seemed like only yesterday (2009) that I was photographing the two love birds in their recently engaged excitement in LOVE Park. It was fantastic to see them again all grown up with marriage and puppi ...
