The cutest little elf!

Daddy's Little Boy

Big tough daddy melts right in front of my eyes!  And who wouldn't with this sweet little bundle of happiness all tucked up in your arms.  This one is a definite canvas wall portrait which will be stunning!
LOVE his little dimple.

A Sweet Little Angel Babe

I LOVE, love, LOve taking portraits of tiny little squishy, pink-skinned, soft & cuddly infants.  This little darling was a particular favorite.  She was just as cute and sweet as could be.  They are only this small for such a brief time.  Please do not miss out on capturing the first few weeks of life.

INFANT Portraits are taken within the first 14 days of birth.  CALL me when you deliver to set up an appointment.    610.429.3715.  

I look forward to creating a beautiful, timeless portrait of you infant.

The BLURRY BEach Baby

This is the perfect image of Cora at the beach.  So happy, and running around chasing the "birdies".

Beach Baby!!!

There is nothing quite as precious or facinating as watching a young child experience the sand and the sea.
This happens to be the cutest baby in the world...our grand daughter.  She is such a beach baby.  My hubby Joe a.k.a. Pappou (Pooh, as Cora calls him) assisted with this photoshoot. His main job was to make sure that Cora did not run straight into the water before I was able to get a few good shots.  He did a fairly good job. But after 10 minutes, all that "posing" stuff was history.  Running as fast as her chubby little legs could carry her, she was off to the ocean's edge with Pooh running close behind.  It was a day that neither Pooh nor I will ever forget.  Precious memories with our precious grand baby.

I am now an official resident of Brigantine and offer stunning Beach Portraiture.  The fall is the perfect time to create these cherished images.  Call for an appointment... 610.429.3715

Angels Among Us

Well, what can I say.  This little angel is very special to me.  I first photographed him when he was only  a few days old.  Now, he is two!  He is such a sweet, sweet little boy and I had a blast photographing him.
As I always say, this time of your child's life goes by so quickly.  In a blink of an eye they are all grown up,...no more wobbly little legs or edible baby fat.  I enjoy every child that I have to privilage to photograph.  Thank you for that!

BIRTHDAY BASH!!!!

Just wanted to make a quick post of a few images of  BABY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY photo session.
Honestly, this session is a MUST.   We start out photographing in fun and vintage clothes and end up....well, with a delicious cake (as you can see!).  Everyone LOVES this session.  It is fun and heart-warming to document your babies very first birthday.  These sessions are my personal favorites.   Images from this session make a fun and fabulous collection of canvas wall pieces that can be clustered together to tell the story of the day.

Happy Birthday Cora-Belle!

Can you BELIEVE that Cora is already one year old!?  It seems like yesterday we were welcoming her into the world.  So tiny, so sweet, so precious.  This year has been filled with so many amazing moments.  It has been so fun & rewarding to document her first year of life through photographs.  Now I will put together the collection of maternity, infant & baby photographs for her Keepsake Box (for more information about the Keepsake Club,  go to my website and click on "Gift Registry")... an heirloom collection that her parents can add to each year.  How Will you Document your child's Life???  Call the studio for a no-obligation consultation.  610.429.3715  (West Chester, PA)

Merry Christmas...and Happy New Year BABY!

One of Life's greatest treasures is having a grandchild.  This is our granddaughter, and she is a gift.  Of course, I am excited because I get to document her life through images. She is 10 months old already!  I love going through the pictures I have created of her, looking back at each stage of her babyhood.  Such precious memories.  I encourage you to think about investing in fine art photography to document your child's life, and other important events.  It is a gift you give yourself now, and one which will be cherished for generations to come.  Hope you had a wonderful holiday.  Peace, Health and Happiness always.

ADORABLE CORA Belle ~ the cutest baby EVER!

Wow, it has been so long since I have posted.  Last weekend I had a photo shoot with this darling little 10 month old.  She is wearing a headpiece designed by EOE Jewelry (Essence of Elegance Jewelry).  

Cowgirl Boots & Cowgirl Hat Do Not a Cowgirl Make!

Last night my hubby Joe and I met up with a good friend of ours who has two beautiful horses, Sierra and Romeo.  Loving horses, and wanting to wear my new cowgirl boots that Joe bought me for my birthday this year, I jumped at the opportunity when Doug asked me riding.  "Yep...sure, I've been riding before", I stated.  "I love horses!"  So up at 6:00 am this morning, and out to the barn I went, all decked out in my cowgirl hat, cowgirl boots and a courderoy long sleeve shirt which looked very cowgirlish.  I looked like the real deal.  After we saddled up, we rode around the pasture for a bit, then off into "big-boy" country... Open fields and wooded areas...looking for wild mushrooms.   I was riding Sierra, a very sweet natured 'Ole Girl who did not even need a bridle.  The slightest command with the reins and she obeyed.  I was  feeling fairly confident. As we approached the entrance to the 300 acre preserve, I notice a very, very large tree trunk blocking the entrance to the path.  "Ummm...how are we gonna get through there?, I asked.  "Don't worry, Sierra doesn't like to jump" said Doug. He assured me she would step right over the tree trunk.  As we approached, I could feel that she may be thinking of jumping, especially since Romeo had just effortlessly taken the leap.  It was a matter of pride, ya know? Well, you can guess what happened next.  Yep, she jumped, and off I went.... hat a-flying, Maui Jim's a-flying, and Helen a-flying, right into the wooded underbrush, landing on my hip.  OUCH!!!  I did not move right away.  I thought I broke my rib, as it was painful to breathe.  Sierra did not run, she actually stood there looking as shocked as me.  She definitely did not mean for things to end that way, although I think she was feeling proud of herself for showing Romeo she could jump.  Unfortunately, my fall ended the day.  I did get back up on Sierra (YES I DID!) and rode part of the way back to the barn before dismounting and walking the rest of the way. What did I learn?   Cowgirl Boots & Cowgirl hat do not a 
Cowgirl Make!

Perfect Twins...Brother & Sister

Every day I stop and acknowledge just how great my job is!!!  Working with infants is such an honor, and a tremendous leap of faith for new parents...I mean, they don't know if I really know what I am doing (but I do!).  Even though, they hand over their brand new babies (less than 10 days old) and entrust me to carefully pose & photograph them. This trust means everything to me...and to getting the shot.  So, here is the result of brand new parents who entrusted me with their darling, precious twins.  ADORABLE & POWERFUL.  

Little Cora Sweet-Pea

Babies bring incredible JOY to Life.  I love photographing infants.  THey are adorable, squishy and they smell like baby lotion!!!  Love that smell.  THey do GROW & change Soooo much in the first several months of LiFe...so I encourage you to capture these most wonderful, precious moments.   Call the studio and book an infant session, within two weeks of this post and receive a free 8x12 print (with min. order).

Babies and Bows

The Sweetest Angel Baby
