Philadelphia Maternity Photographer | Chestnut Hill | Moira + Brett

Family

Once upon a time I photographed a beautiful couple.  They married in a magical place called Holly Hedge Estate with beautiful flowers and a crowd that danced all night long.  They live in Chestnut Hill with a cranky cat named Piper and I had the fortune of being brought into their lives again.  This time for a bump.

Moira and Brett are due sometime this month so I met up with them at their Philly home for some maternity pictures.

They don’t know the sex and aren’t telling names (it would help if they chose some!) but most are pretty certain that Moira has a boy in there and has been going by RJB for RickyJimBob.

This sweet belly button used to be super deep, now it’s just flat.  How great for Moira that she is carrying this baby entirely in this big belly on such a petite frame!

She has been going through gelato like a madwoman but she truly craves wine and deli meats.

Once Moira gets her wine and Wawa, I expect to be getting a call so I can see this little nugget (likely with lots of black hair like Brett had as a newborn).

Philadelphia Family Photographer | 1 year | Jack
I have been lucky enough to follow this little man through the past year and it has been extraordinary.  Here is Jack at his newborn session: I visited him six months later and saw this: This time we had Mom and Dad around and we took in some morning rays at Spruce Street Harbor Park in Philadelphia for Jack's 1 year session.  The hammocks were a little unsettling. Jack’s eyes are just as blue and vibrant as ever and, looking back from the beginning, it is wild to see him grow up from a tiny little peanut to a little boy (with so many teeth!). As always, he was a delight.  Even through some colds and road trips, ...

New Jersey Newborn Photographer | Mt. Laurel Home | Harper
Little Miss Harper Laine stayed wide awake for practically our entire session at her home in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey last week.  I get it; when literally everything is new and you’re the star of a photoshoot, you want to hang out and see all that there is to see (within 6 inches of your face). This isn’t to say that she was upset.  Not in the least.  Harper was pleasant while I was there, showing off her gorgeous Pinterest-worthy nursery (teepee, DIY flower mobile, the softest color palette) and a few questionable/fashionable headpieces. New mom, Jeanette, looks fabulous whenever I see her.  She’s a total workaholic and this was ...

Main Line Newborn Photographer | Bryn Mawr Home | Nora
Little baby Nora made her parents work for her arrival.  There is something called a Nurse’s Curse and Deirdre got it. I’m not going to get graphic but Nora was late and then caused one hell of a ruckus to get out.  This included running late, water breaking to start the stopwatch, vacuum, forceps, retained placenta, and a couple units of blood for Deirdre.  9+ pound Nora was larger than expected. Have I mentioned that Deirdre is a labor and delivery nurse?  That just seems unfair.  But then there's this face! But here she is with soft, fuzzy hair that, from the back, makes her look a bit like Sonic the Hedgehog. ...
