Where is the best place to do a fun, Phillies themed family photo session? Citizens Bank Park! Since the season is over and there were no other games this day we had the place basically to ourselves. It was my first time photographing a family down at the Park and it made for some great baseball background photos. It would have been nicer if they could have snuck in… maybe next year? I think next years Holiday card from this favorite family of mine should include a photo of Dad streaking the field. =)

My gorgeous girls Miss. J. and R. have returned to my blog after a busy year for them both. I have missed photographing these lovely girls. Enjoy your sneak peek C. Family! xoxo

 

 

 

these smiles mean a lot to me… there were some years where Miss. R. would make me work for it… I can’t believe how much she has grown…

Beth Erisman: Amazing photos Michelle! Those girls are absolutely beautiful.

Carol: Beautiful family and great photo's!! The girls get prettier every year.

marianne: You once again captured our family perfectly. Thanks so much for being a pleasure to work with.

Chrissy: Wow--I can't believe how much the girls have grown up. Great idea for the photos. Beautiful pics.

It was so nice to see the G. Family again this year! Mr. M. has certainly become a fast moving little boy! Curious about everything, just like little boys should be. Luckily, he would slow down occasionally from his exploring for me to capture his dazzling smile. Thank you and enjoy your sneak peek!

admin: Thank you!

Chrissy: Such a handsome boy; you really captured him well!

Today, I am sharing a few of my favorites from Miss S.’s photo session. She turned 5 years old this week and each year I have the privilege of documenting her birthday at Valley Forge Park. She has grown so much over the last 4 years and I look forward to this session every November.  You may recognize her from my website and blogs past. It is amazing how she is growing into a beautiful, little lady. It was wonderful seeing you all again. Enjoy your sneak peek!

*One spot on the schedule left for a photo session for Holiday delivery! Please contact me asap!

Carol: Beautiful!!! She is getting prettier every year. The last shot is my favorite!

Rannette: Oh Michelle, I teared up looking at these, she looks so grown up and beautiful. Thank you!!! (again)

Charla: This little girl is beautiful! I love her hair!

Myrna Carino: Bellisima!!!! Loved all the pictures.

admin: Thank you all! Awww Rannette she is such a pleasure to photograph.

Chrissy: Chelle, these pics are amazing and this little girl is truly beautiful. WOW!!!

They do not get much sweeter than her, absolute new baby girl perfection!  I enjoy photographing newborns also because I can get my new little bitty baby fix and hand them back. =) Miss E. was a delight! She was welcomed two weeks ago by her very protective big brothers and wonderful family. Thanks for letting me share!

Carol: Precious little girl and you photographed her beautifully!!

Chrissy: Awww--what a sweet little girl. I love her little lips and especially great first photo. You did such a great job =) Wonderful pics!!

Sarah: Perfect newborn session. Love it!

I love photographing these boys every year. Mr. N. and Mr. A. always bring the smiles and laughs. Lately my blog posts have been about seeing all my young clients grow and I immediately thought of this image of the these happy boys. It is one of my favorite images featured on the website, it is hard to believe I have been photographing them for almost 4 years and how much they have grown into little men.

this year… handsome little men!

 

 

 

 

Carol: So nice watching these young men growing up. You always capture their personalities so well Michelle!!

Chrissy: These young boys are so expressive. I love the one of them in front of the house with the American flag in the background--perfect pic!

I am getting to show off another new sibling on the blog this week. Meeting Mr. B.’s new little sister and seeing Mr. B for the first time since his own newborn photo session was a delight. He is a wonderful big brother. Thank you for having me out again and enjoy the sneak peek of your images!

Kristin: Thanks so much MIchelle! We love them and can't wait to see the rest!

Laura S.: She's so sweet. Beautiful!

Carol: What a beautiful family. Great photo's Michelle!

Sarah: What beautiful portraits and family.

“They grow so fast.”  It sounds so cliche, doesn’t it?  There are certainly days as parents it does not feel like it is going by fast. I can name a few days I have felt like that. Like the day where we started tying our own shoes or when we began potty training. Those days did NOT go by fast at that time, but now they seem like a distant memory (well until Grey is ready for them.) Since I do not see some of clients more than once or twice a year I can definitively say “They grow so fast,” and mean it. Mr. Z. was very shy if I remember correctly a couple years ago, now he’s your typical fun-loving, non-stopping young man with his little sister following closely behind him. Thank you for having me out again, enjoy your sneak peek of Mr. Z. and Miss C.

 

 

I love all the images I create but there are images how I can sum up why I do what I do and why I love it… below is one of those images… pure perfection to me…

 

Countdown to Halloween! What are all your kids dressing up as? I have a Mario, Luigi and baby Yoshi. Super Mario Bros. has invaded my house!

Thanks for stopping by!

Michelle

Susannah: Thanks, Michelle - Per your usual, these are amazing - I can't wait to see the full set.

Carol: Simply adorable kids and you did a great job capturing them :)

The Mini-peeks!

October 25, 2011

Another blog post featuring a few photos from the Fall mini sessions…. I was excited to see Miss. A. and Mr. M. again! I last photographed Mr. M. right before my maternity leave last year when he was a wee newborn. How they grow the first year, even big sister Miss A. is growing into a little lady!  It was lovely seeing you all again.

happy hearts photography: adorable! great shots alone and together, you nailed it!

Carol: Beautiful children. Wonderful photographs Michelle!!

Chrissy: Great shots, Michelle. You really captured this family well =)

Sarah: I love that first one. It really captures his age.

Fall weather is here! Beautiful leaves and cool, crisp temps have arrived, finally. I had the pleasure of photographing these little brothers last week at the mini-sessions. It it amazing to me how much my littlest clients grow over the year.

 

We still have some availability in mid-late November. Please contact me as soon as possible to schedule.

Best,

Michelle

Colleen Carr: Can't wait to see they rest you captured that devilish grin on my little guy!

Carol: Cute little guys with wonderful blue eyes.

More boys…

October 13, 2011

I spent the weekend with two of my favorite little boys… my nephews! All boys in our family, that is how we roll. =) Of course I had to bring my camera and when looking at the photos today I realized I never blogged my newest nephew, Jasper. (gasp!) He was born in May (in a car, long story.) I can not believe my sister never mentioned to me that I never blogged Jasper since his older brother Jackson has frequented my blog over the last two years. Can anyone say “Hello, neglectful Aunt Chellie?” So here are a few of my favorites of him over the last couple of months. Jasper is a happy baby and probably has one of the most expressive faces I have seen in a young one. As a newborn, he gave the best “stink eye” probably a trait inherited from his father, luckily he is all about super smiles and silly grins now.

Jasper 1 week young…

around 6 weeks 

 

with his sweet big brother….

 

and from the other day… love all the smiles

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

November dates are filling up! So happy to hear from many of my past clients. Please contact me as soon as possible to book a session prior to the Holidays.

Best,

Michelle

Chrissy: I love watching him grown and you capturing all the funny smiles and faces...beautiful-thanks!

Carol: Great photo's Michelle. Of course, you had an adorable baby to work with (my unbiased opinion). LOVE his funny little faces <3
