Marni & Tom’s Grandkids

Marni and Tom adore their children and grandchildren. There is nothing like the way grandparents love their grandchildren. In some ways, I believe, they can be there for the grandkids in ways they could not be there for their children. There is the fact that they can love the kids up during the day and send them home at night! Watching the way the children loved their grandparents and vice versa, warmed my heart. What a great gift.

Miles & Eva

Miles and Eva are typical siblings who love to play together and love to torment each other. Miles, a bit more serious, Eva, spirited and independent, played and laughed as I clicked the shutter. I continue to smile inside as I think back to the photo session as Miles and Eva made me laugh so hard. I especially love the photo where Eva has Miles in a headlock. Although Miles is 5 years older than Eva, I have a funny feeling she is the queen bee.

Trish & Cass

Trish wanted photos of her mom that captured different things that reminded her of Cass. Into the studio came Cass, props such as pizza and ice cream, wine, a Phillies blanket… Carrie, a dear family friend, assisted as we proceeded to enact the motions of favorite experiences. Cass was a good sport given that she highly dislikes having her photo made and given the fact that she had to change clothes several times. When all was said and done, we all had some good laughs, the photos are delightful, and Trish has a pictorial essay of the things that she thinks about when she thinks of what makes her mom happy.

Schneider Family

Happy Birthday Great Grandmother! Roz and her family have been coming in for photos for many years. It is such a pleasure documenting the family as they grow and as they celebrate life’s rights of passage. Roz just retired and her Mom was celebrating a special birthday. Four generations of remarkable, fun women. Can I please say, my memory is not nearly as good as the elder in the family nor do most of us age as beautifully as the women pictured here.
