Spring Family Portraits :: Delaware Portrait Photographer

While weddings are the bulk of what I see in front of my lens, I also love doing portrait sessions. I recently had the pleasure of such a session with an amazing family. The W family is one of the most loving and nurturing families I have ever met. While I’ve photographed this family before, I was excited to finally get to capture them with their newest addition, Baby Aurora. Aurora and her big brother, Maverick, had a blast playing in the Enchanted Woods at Winterthur and with beautiful weather, it made for picture perfect portraits. Take a look…

Longwood Gardens Engagement | Denise & Ed

Posted in Engagements, Portrait Sessions

I met up with Denise & Ed at Longwood Gardens recently to shoot their Engagement Session. Longwood is one of my favorite garden locations for portraits. Such an exquisitely gorgeous place. Denise seemed a bit camera shy when we first started but soon enough she was doing a fabulous job of ignoring me. Don’t be quick to judge! She was really ignoring the camera, not really ME and hey, I told her to. Mother Nature provided us with amazing weather, not too cool and not too hot, the temperature was just warm enough to be perfect. We really enjoyed ourselves. Check out a few of my favorites.

Denise & Ed – thanks for such a fun time! I can’t wait for your wedding next month.

Baby Hailey | Delaware Newborn Photographer

Posted in Photojournalism, Portrait Sessions

It seems like it was just yesterday that I photographed Kristina’s Delaware Maternity Portraits and now Baby Hailey is here! She’s such a great baby, not fussy at all and just sleeps all the time, which is a blessing to a new parent. I took some photos of Baby Hailey before she was even 12 hours old in the hospital and then I met them at the house for some more photos a couple days later. Hailey looks like a porcelain doll, she’s so gorgeous and Kristina looks amazing for having just had a child! Check out the photos…

Lisa & Philip | Rockwood Park Engagement

Posted in Engagements, Portrait Sessions

When I first met Lisa & Philip, I was enamored by Philip’s British accent. I love accents. I love observing how different cultures say or do things so different from the way I do. For instance, as they were leaving after our consultation, he remarked how it was wonderful to meet me and my “pooches.” I just had to smile! Warning: I am severely dorky at times and this was one of those times…I think I must have called my dogs pooches for a week after that because I was so enlightened to have a new name for them. and Lisa – her smile is so sweet it could give you a toothache. At the time when I met her she had braces but she smiled so brightly despite them and they couldn’t detract from the smile in her eyes.

We met up at Rockwood Park for their engagement session and it was a beautiful day! A little on the warm side but still, a great day for photos. Take a look….
