It was over 100 degrees. The kind of heat that clings to your skin and makes you second-guess all your plans. But this family—this beautiful trio—showed up to Ridley Creek State Park with the kind of love that doesn’t just survive the heat... it shines through it.

From the moment we met in the parking lot (already sweating), we could tell this session was going to be something special. Yes, baby Ava was the heart of the shoot—chubby cheeks, curious eyes, soft baby laughs—but what really stood out was the connection between her parents. They didn’t just come to document their growing family—they also wanted to take time for just the two of them. To pause in the middle of parenthood and say, “This is us, too.”

And we loved that.

As we look back through the images, we see so much more than just pretty photos. We see a couple who’s still deeply in love, now holding their daughter in the middle of it. We see a family that chooses presence over perfection. And we see a summer day that none of us will forget.

To this sweet family: thank you for trusting us, for braving the hottest day of the year, and for letting us witness your love—not just for Ava, but for each other.

These two have been together for three amazing years, and ever since year one, they’ve been dreaming about doing a paint war photoshoot. Life kept getting in the way (because, ya know, adulting), but this year? They finally said, “Let’s DO this.” And ohhh, did they ever.

What I loved most was how this wasn’t about getting perfect photos. It was about them being them—goofy, spontaneous, totally in love, and not afraid to get a little (okay, a lot) dirty. The kind of love that’s not just about the Instagram-worthy moments, but about the real stuff—the messy, hilarious, heart-full-in-your-throat kind of stuff.

Dom & Stacey: You absolutely crushed this session. Thank you for bringing the color, the chaos, and the full-on magic. Here’s to three years of love, laughter, and many more paint wars in your future. ❤️💛💚💙

Engagement Session at Ott’s Exotic Plants | Tori & David

We are so excited to share this magical engagement session with Tori and David at one of the most unique and lush locations in the area—Ott’s Exotic Plants. This place feels like a hidden jungle tucked right into Pennsylvania, and it was the perfect backdrop for a couple whose energy is just as warm and vibrant.

Tori’s vision for their engagement session was spring florals and we accomplished just that! Tori’s flowing floral dress that complemented the surroundings beautifully, while David kept it neutral, classic, and cool, perfectly coordinated. Every corner of the greenhouse gave us a new little pocket of paradise to explore.

We met these two back in October at Arianna & Billy’s wedding at the Lazaretto Ballroom. They were both members of the bridal party—Tori as one of the bridesmaids and David as a groomsman. So when they reached out about doing their engagement photos we were absolutely thrilled!

Seeing these two become more comfortable and confident behind the camera is nothing short of rewarding! It starts with teaching them our core poses, and implementing silly, cute prompts to help them relax and loosen up behind the camera. Seeing this come to life on them has us so excited to photograph their wedding in May of 2026!

Because turning 40 with your best friend calls for McDonald’s fries, a bottle of wine, and a fierce game of Sorry!

When Crystal and Dani reached out to book a birthday shoot to celebrate their 40th birthdays together, we knew it was going to be fun. But we had no idea just how much personality, laughter, and creativity they were going to bring to the day — and honestly? It was iconic.

These two met at work years ago and instantly clicked — the kind of "we’re going to be best friends forever, whether we like it or not" kind of connection. Fast forward to now, and their friendship has grown into something truly beautiful. They've been through everything together, and they still make time for wine nights, inside jokes, and check-ins that feel like therapy sessions and comedy shows.

And let’s talk about this shoot.

Crystal and Dani didn’t just show up — they showed out. They brought their favorite things to the session, turning it into a full-on celebration of who they are: McDonald’s fries and cheeseburgers — because some cravings are lifelong, and nothing says “comfort food” like a golden arches run with your bestie. The game Sorry! — a nod to all the competitive game nights over the years. We got shots of them mid-game, mid-trash talk, and fully in their element. Let’s just say… no actual apologies were made. Wine — naturally. Because what’s a milestone birthday without a toast (or two) to all the memories made and the ones still to come?

Crystal & Dani, you make 40 look amazing. Thank you for letting us capture your love for life, for each other, and for McNuggets. We can’t wait to see these images light up your birthday bash this summer!

Happy Birthday, ladies — and cheers to fries, wine, friendship, and four fabulous decades

There’s something magical about photographing someone right on the edge of a new chapter—especially when that someone is as full of joy, warmth, and love as Leah.

We began our session at one of Widener’s most iconic spots—Old Main. With its stately columns and historic architecture, Old Main was the perfect backdrop for the beginning of our session. We quickly hopped into the street (yes street) and a University campus security was nice enough to block traffic so that we could get some beautiful cap tossing photos in front of Widener signs. We utilized the campus’s beautiful foliage for some photos with greenery in the background. Leah wanted photos with the Widener clock and under a statue that is notoriously good luck for graduates to walk under. Next, we made our way to the Widener Pride lion statue. This spot is practically a rite of passage for any Widener graduate. Finally, we stopped at Leah’s Sorority house.

Summer Love!

I met up with Nikki and Spencer on one of those perfect early summer evenings, and from the very first photo, I knew this session would be something special. These two compliment each other so well, with Nikki’s outgoing personality complimenting Spencer’s reserved nature. Once behind the camera for a while these two became more comfortable! From the very beginning of our session, these two were nothing but fun, love, and easy laughter. Nikki has this radiant kind of warmth, and Spencer’s calm, grounded energy balances her in the most beautiful way.

And because no perfect summer evening in West Chester is complete without a little something sweet—we made a stop at Gemelli Gelato for a mid-session treat. Spencer LOVES ice cream and gelato so this was very fitting!

As the sun began to dip behind the trees, we made our way toward a rooftop parking garage for a few final golden-hour shots. Between the quiet, romantic light and the way they naturally leaned into each other, the session wrapped up on the most heartwarming note.

And here's a little fun fact that makes this story even sweeter: We’ll actually be photographing Nikki and Spencer’s wedding on Sophia’s birthday —October 17th! And honestly, I can’t think of a better way to spend the day than celebrating love with these two incredible people.

his past spring we had the absolute honor of photographing Naheda, a Thomas Jefferson University graduate!

While studying at Thomas Jefferson, Naheda was involved in a variety of organizations that helped her get involved in her community and allowed her to advocate for action. She was deeply involved in the Law and Society Honors Society, a program dedicated to exploring the intersection of justice, policy, and community. She was also an active member of Bridge TJU, an organization on Thomas Jefferson’s campus that fosters ideological diversity, and constructive dialogue for their students. We are so proud of Naheda for continuing her education career at Widener University’s Delaware Law School.

She Did It — A Temple University Graduate, and One of the Brightest Lights We Know

What an honor it was to photograph Maura! We started the session right outside of the Fox School of Business—a building that meant so much to her journey. Maura was an Innovation and Entrepreneurship major at Fox. There’s something poetic about seeing her stand in front of the place where she spent countless hours chasing her degree. From there we chased some light around different spots on campus including Speakman Hall and the owl statue.

Reflecting back on these photos, you see a kind of smile that is different. It is the kind of smile that comes after you’ve survived something, built something, achieved something. You could see the peace in her, the pride, and a readiness for whatever’s next. Congratulations Maura!

We first met this beautiful family during our Red Truck Sessions, and from that very first shoot, we could tell they were going to be the kind of people whose journey we’d love to be part of. Over the years, we had the joy of watching their daughter, Kennedy, grow and change, during those same sessions year after year, and it’s been nothing short of amazing to see her bloom into the incredible little girl she is now.

So when we heard they were expecting again, and this time a sweet baby girl named Lacey, we couldn’t have been more excited. It’s such an honor to continue capturing their family’s story, and this newborn session was a moment we’ll hold dear for a long time.

If you’re reading this and considering documenting your own family’s journey, whether it's a newborn session or a milestone shoot, we can’t encourage you enough to embrace it. It’s not just about pictures—it’s about capturing the essence of your family in the now, so you’ll always have those memories to look back on.

Thank you to this incredible family for letting us capture such an intimate and beautiful time in their lives. We can’t wait to see all the moments yet to come!

In January 2023, we had the incredible honor of photographing the wedding of Doug and Kiera, a beautiful couple whose love for each other radiated throughout the entire day. It’s hard to believe that just over a year has passed since that magical winter wedding. Since then, their love has only grown deeper as they welcomed their adorable son, Doug, into the world.

We’re so excited to share their journey—from their stunning wedding day to their life as new parents. It’s truly a special experience to witness and document such significant moments in a couple’s life, and we couldn’t be happier for Doug, Kiera, and their sweet little one.

Baby Boy John’s newborn session was a blast!

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph his parents’ engagement session in Philadelphia at the Shambles a few years ago, and now, I got to meet their beautiful boy. It’s funny how life comes full circle. Their engagement photos captured the beginning of their journey together, and now, these newborn photos will capture the start of their family’s journey. It’s such a privilege to be able to witness and document these important milestones!

As photographers, we are fortunate enough to witness and capture the most intimate and meaningful moments of a family’s journey. And for us, the story of Matt and Brianna has been nothing short of extraordinary. From their backyard, intimate, wedding to the excitement of welcoming their first child, Ellie, and now the precious arrival of their son, Colin, we’ve had the honor of documenting their family’s milestones. Each session has been a unique reflection of their love, and their latest newborn session with little Colin is one we are especially excited to share.

For newborn photos, the key is focusing on the baby’s natural movements and features. Colin was simply perfect, and we took full advantage of his calm demeanor, capturing those close-up shots of his tiny hands, feet, and sleepy expressions. We also used soft, neutral colors to create a peaceful, timeless feel — drawing attention to the precious little details.

t’s always such a joy to see families return for another session, especially when it’s to celebrate the arrival of a beautiful newborn! We had the privilege of photographing Katie and Jerry’s maternity session a few months ago, and now, we’re thrilled to welcome their newest addition, baby Callan, into the world. What made this session even more special was that we also got to meet big sister Cam, who was all smiles and excitement to introduce us to her little brother!

For Callan’s session, we kept the vibe cozy, warm, and intimate. He was born on Christmas, and we wanted to reflect that within his session. These early days are all about bonding and connection, so we made sure the environment mirrored that. The session took place in their home, which made it even more special. The soft, natural light from the windows illuminated the space perfectly, adding to the calm and serene atmosphere. We love when families choose to have sessions at home because it allows us to capture their personalities and the love that fills their space.

When Lauren and Jordan first reached out to me about photographing their engagement session, I could instantly feel their excitement—and their deep connection to one another. After chatting with them about their vision and their journey as a couple, it was clear that this session wasn’t just about taking beautiful photos; it was about capturing the genuine love and bond they share.

Valley Forge, with its sweeping views, rich history, and peaceful atmosphere, was the perfect backdrop for these two. The park offered not only stunning natural scenery but also a sense of timelessness that felt like a reflection of Lauren and Jordan’s love. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just another engagement shoot—it was an intimate, authentic celebration of their relationship.

It’s such a joy to look back on the past two years of photographing Roland, Harrison, and Asher. We’ve had the privilege of capturing their personalities as they’ve grown in both spirit and size—and it's been so much fun to see how they’ve blossomed!

This year, we met up with them at the beautiful park in Newtown Square. The greenery, the open spaces, and the playful atmosphere made it the perfect backdrop for this family that never stops laughing. There’s something so special about watching these kiddos grow from year to year. Roland's new confidence, Harrison’s growing sense of humor, and Asher’s boundless curiosity and out going personality remind us of how quickly these little moments can slip by—but how important they are to capture.

It’s been such a pleasure to see them transform before our eyes, and we can’t wait to continue to watch them grow in the years ahead. The love this family shares is so evident in every picture, and we're thankful for the opportunity to document their beautiful journey.

Fall is one of the most magical seasons for a family session! Ridley Creek State Park is the perfect backdrop for capturing these memories. Recently, we had the honor of working with an absolutely adorable family back in October. The crisp air, golden leaves, and cozy vibes set the perfect stage for a day filled with laughter, love, and the excitement of their expanding family.

This sweet crew consists of Mom, Dad, their lively little boy Declan, and the soon-to-arrive addition to their family. Declan, with his big bright eyes and playful energy, made this session unforgettable. He was full of curiosity and was such a joy to work with as he roamed around the park.

A Spooky Yet Sweet Halloween Wedding at the Lazaretto Ballroom

When it comes to Halloween weddings, few can top the magic and warmth that radiated at Billy & Arianna’s Lazaretto Ballroom Ballroom wedding. For them, the evening wasn't just about spooky vibes and eerie decor—it was about celebrating a love so pure and true that it made every detail of their special day feel like a dream come true. The morning was filled with good food, laughter, and Arianna’s anticipation to see her groom.

There are few moments more moving than the one when a groom sees his bride for the first time on their wedding day. But for Billy & Arianna, it was even more profound. As Arianna made her way down the aisle, Billy’s face lit up with overwhelming emotion. He couldn't hold back the tears—tears of joy, tears of gratitude, and tears of love for the woman who was embarking on forever with him. His display of emotion made everyone at the ceremony feel his love for Arianna. We couldn’t help from tearing up.

It’s moments like these that remind us of what weddings are truly about: not the decorations, the food, or even the party—but the love between two people that will stand the test of time. This wasn’t just a celebration of their wedding day—it was a celebration of their entire journey together, and the next chapter they were about to write.

These two beautifully unique souls were bound together forever on October 26th, celebrating with all of their friends afterwards with TONS of 2000’s emo music and a lively sparkler exit.

We met with Maura, Adam, and their littles at Parque Ridley Creek for an energetic family session! These guys were so much fun! We got to meet their dog Saquon and their newest addition, Gina!

This elegant stone mansion & garden provided us with the perfect backdrop for Noah and Lia to run around and us to capture!

This beautiful beach maternity session in Brigatine, New Jersey means so much to us. We love being able to capture our forming wedding couples as they grow as a family! Kiera & Doug are no exception. Kiera is glowing and such a stunning mama to be! It was our first time at Brigatine beach and the golden light and clear beach did not disapoint! There was a variety of sand dunes and stunning shore line for our sunset photos!

We cannot wait to meet baby boy Douglas!

This Longwood Gardens family session in Kennett Square was everything!! The light was looking just right, our little baby Nathan boy was smiling just right for the camera, and we finally didn’t have to reschedule due to rain.

Fun fact: we rescheduled this session 3 times

BUTTT… these photos were definitely worth the wait. Renee, Tyler, and their sweet boy Nathan are the sweetest and we had an amazing time walking around Longwood with them. We stopped to smell the flowers (Nathan’s favorite) a few times. He’s one of the happiest little kids that we’ve ever met.
