Philadelphia Family Photographer | Magnus

Family

I love Jennifer and Mark.  I loved them years ago when I met them for their engagement session at Longwood Gardens and again at their Atrium at the Curtis Center wedding soon after.  They live in London (thanks a lot, Mark!) and have a little man that I’ve been dying to see.  Meet 14 month old, Magnus!

It finally, finally happened about a month ago when they came back to the states and this sweet, toddling, little peanut came by for a session with Jennifer’s parents who thankfully live over here.

Jenifer and Mark joked that this is their city boy’s first interaction with grass.

Magnus is new to the walking game but was jetting around like crazy.

Also notable was the constant use of neckerchiefs for the constant stream of drool.  The struggle is real.  They have so many of these they could put him in a new one with every outfit.

Favorites include doorknobs, lightswitches, thumbs, cuddling, and running.  I’m so impressed with Mark and Jennifer’s stamina.

Magnus was so delightful – fun, curious, happy and taking in everything.

If you were to open up a baby’s head — and I am not for a moment suggesting that you should — you would find nothing but an enormous drool gland. ~Dave Barry

They're a spunky bunch I had the pure pleasure of photographing down at Ocean City, Maryland just the other week.Jenn and I had been working on arranging this session forever and it finally all came together on one of the last weekends of the summer and the weather was just perfect.

Philadelphia Baby Photographer | Northern Liberties | William
I am pleased to introduce you to Mr. William Ryan.  He is an adorably round little man who digs strangers and is 100% likely to steal your heart. He came into this world after a fairly “uneventful” labor and delivery.  Those are Kelly’s words.  I can’t imagine any delivery being uneventful but she’s a tough broad so it doesn’t surprise me. He’s much like his dad, Chris.  The two have a close bond and Kelly says that he lights up for him in a way he doesn’t for anyone else.  They both savor their own quiet time and William will pensively relax at a window or in his crib for a while without any qualms.
