Philadelphia newborn photographer | Chestnut Hill | Deirdre

Family

Little Deirdre Quinn made a fashionably late grand entrance to the world only one day after her due date.  She arrived with a surprise, namely that she was a she.  Everyone was absolutely convinced that Moira and Brett’s wee one would be a boy.

But after putting mom and dad (especially mom) through some work, she arrived a perfect and beautiful 8lbs. 3 oz.

I met up with the whole family just a few short weeks after Moira’s maternity session at their home in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia.

I learned that D is a snorter.  Sure, she coos gurgles but she is a snorter.  She grunted, snorted, and snored her way through our session together in the most adorable baby noises you could imagine (think itty bitty pug puppy with pink bows, sweet chubby cheeks, and pink baby toes).

She has been welcomed into an amazing family.  (I should know having shot Moira and Brett’s engagement, Holly Hedge wedding, and maternity.)  I can’t wait to see watch little Deirdre grow into a little lady.

A new baby is like the beginning of all things – wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.

Dearest Hero, you were the best behaved newborn I've ever seen.  I hope you are this fabulous to your delightful parents (and brother, Bonecrusher) for the rest of your life. Hero was so wonderful - she was alert and looking around sweetly when the time called for it. And she snoozed peacefully and let me squish her up when we needed her drowsy.  We shot their newborn session at their home in Chestnut Hill. Hero was a name Preston and Jillian kept coming back to after they first saw it as a character in Much Ado About Nothing years ago.  "Hero" has its origins as a tale in Greek mythology of forbidden love and a Romeo/J ...

Philadelphia Family Photographer | 1 Year | Clara
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. She's a classy little lady. We played with the whole family at their Graduate Hospital home.  Charlotte kindly let us use her bed for snuggles and tickles.  A fam ...
