Philadelphia Newborn Photographer | Ciaran

Family

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 puppies and house and baby!

I hardly believe it myself but I was there for hours and Ciaran was wide-eyed for pretty much all of it. He was taking everything in.

Don’t you just love this nursery? I could do an entire post on this room alone – including the handmade maps (Neverland, Wonderland, and Land of Oz), whimsical mobile, and fluffy clouds all over the walls.

He was so amazingly alert. Just 10 days old.

It was a lovely day so we took a walk to a local park to see if that would help put him to sleep. And it did.

…Until we got home.

This was truly a lifestyle session for the entire family. I loved it!

Philadelphia Pet Photographer | FDR Park | Lisa + Chris + Bella
It was a few weeks ago when I met up with Lisa, Chris, and, most importantly, Bella, for some pictures at FDR Park in South Philadelphia. It was a beautiful afternoon. The light was luscious and the weather was just right!Bella is a 1.5 year old beagle who loves her stuffed raccoon, rolling around in anything, sniffing anything, but will (amazingly, I think) come when called even when off leash. She’s a petite little thing for a beagle but has gorgeous big, brown eyes and the sweetest little face.We played and ran around with her parents, Lisa and Chris, who have known each other since 9th grade but lost touch only to reconnected about 2 y ...

Delaware Newborn Photographer | Wilmington Home | Jackson
I want to cover my walls with this little guy.  Jackson came out as 6lbs, 9oz of 100% adorableness.  That’s not an easy feat since it often takes a little bit for babies to sort out all of that squishing from the previous 40 weeks. He certainly made Katelin work for it though.  31 hours of labor and she never felt the effects of her epidural due to a medical condition.  31 hours!!!  And then he had the nerve to come out with the umbilical cord around his neck.  His parents are fashionable so it makes sense that he’d be accessorizing at an early age. Katelin was positive he would be a girl.  James had a hunch he might get a boy. ...
