We were blessed with a gorgeous fall-like Saturday morning right after Thanksgiving. And look at those two kiddos – they held that position for longer than I have seen two siblings hug! This was the perfect session and family to end the crazy busy holiday season!

They sure thought I was funny – or maybe it was just Isaac loved to laugh/scream!

Love a daddy’s girl!

Money!!!! Everyone is looking and super adorable to boot!

Long red hair – yes please!

Can’t not get a photo of these two lovebirds!!

Do you remember this cute red head from last year? My how big he and his sister have gotten!

I love that in the first photo John is holding a piece of brick and the second he has acorns in front of him. All boy!! (a handsome one at that!)

“Hey Julia give John a hug!” She lifts him off the ground and gets close to the neck-grab!

Things haven’t changed much for Julia in regards to wearing twirly skirts and spinning in circles! There is nothing better than that carefree abandonment children have!

Randon was being a bugger (after spending the day at pre-K, he came home exhausted!) and this is what happens – tickle attack!

Boy has he changed since this time last August! He now goes to “big kid” school and is loving it (though every day he wanted to come home and nap, even with “quiet”/nap time at school!). I’m proud of what he has accomplished since my parents received custody of both boys last March!

love.love.love. them both!

Grandkids!

The grandkids with the grandparents along with the two younger girls showing off their splits (with toes pointed mind you!)

Several weeks ago I took some photos for Tiger Hall Kids (finally catching up on my blog!). Here is a small sampling of what the adorable place looks like along with a few kiddos! There is an open play time which is seriously one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard or seen. If you are needing to get your child out of the house when it’s raining/snowing/crappy weather or just want them to interact with other kids, Tiger Hall is definitely the place you need to take them!

How can you not learn in such a fun environment??

Handsome lookin’ young men!

You may not know it but these two guys are twins with gorgeous smiles!

The baby of the family!

Boys being boys!

Love the air that Skyler got on this one.

Ellie and Jeff remind me of Jada and Will Smith. Such (beautiful) lovebirds!!

This is probably my favorite photo of the entire bunch – love the real emotion from Hunter!

Apparently Marquand Park has lots of fly-overs via helicopters, small planes and even a few large ones. Almost every time we stopped and looked. I’m so glad I was able to capture this photo.

Yes we even did the marcarena and electric slide! Lots of fun dancing to the iPod touch!

He doesn’t look like a 9 year old does he? Way too sophisticated! (and if you notice he has the sleeves up as far as they would go – mom, the nanny, and I were bundled up, not this guy!)

Last one, playing in the sand!

Coming up tomorrow – a holiday gift guide!!!

Love the look on Mr. Gavin’s face in this one.

Darby has the most beautiful brown eyes I think I’ve ever seen and her smile is infectious!

I cannot believe how big Sloan – last time it was hard to get her to stand still much less sit and smile! Love this photo of Mom and Darby!

Are they not adorable in the red coats and black hats?

I always recommend women wear something that will make them feel beautiful (we all know that a wardrobe can either make or break how you feel!). And these sisters did just that. I love the colors on their sweaters and the scarves. Simple yet making a statement!

This shot melts my heart – love seeing a grandma proud of her grandchild.

I love a good pouty lip and Mr. Mason had it down pat!

What a good looking family this is!

Calista has one of the most infectious smiles I’ve ever seen – gotta love the dimples!

Happy 3rd Birthday Calista!!!

I love working with twins, especially when they are at the age to tell you who is older. It never fails that the older one will tell you he/she is older (even when not asked!). In this case its Jalen, so I put Elise first!

I am honored when my clients chose me to be their photographer and the J family is no exception. Amy contacted me not long after Anthony and I moved to New Jersey but our schedules didn’t work out until just now. We met up at Tyler State Park in Bucks County, PA to get some fall photos and document their lives as it is right now. Amy + Matt, thanks for the park suggestion and being good sports!

This photo melts my heart!

Meet Jacob, the spunkiest, smartest little guy ever. He had me cracking up about using the computer (he’s only 3 people!) and going on to the web.

Sarene was pretty much content the entire time until we put her on her back. Otherwise she didn’t make a peep, even when she was hungry!

A family that skips rocks together stays together (love that that saying can be used in all situations about families doing things together).

I’m playing catch up with a session I photographed last Saturday with Daniel and his family. Daniel was diagnosed at 18 months old with Tuberous Sclerosis and Apraxia with the onset of seizures and praise be that he has been seizure-free for over a year now. He continues to thrive at 3.5 years of age, going to preschool and enjoying all things boys (trucks, trains, tractors, dirt, etc.).

I am so privileged to be apart of Inspiration through Art and allowing families to have custom art of their child(ren) and family. If you have a child, or know a child, who suffers from any type of serious illness or life altering disability please go to the website for more information.

He was very proud of his shoes! He normally wears Toy Story or Spider-Man character shoes, but I did some sweet talking and he was totally willing to put these snazzy slip-ons with no socks on!

He brings a smile to my face every single day!

My mom and I got this outfit for Randon when he was around the same age and I knew I wanted to reuse the outfit for these (since it was the only thing that went with what Randon was wearing).

This happens a lot with this dude. He’s been walking for awhile now, but going down the hill in my parents backyard proves to be a challenge!

A close up of the shoes! He was standing on one of the many tables w/umbrellas in my parents backyard and he was “hidden” in the umbrella.

This was pretty much Rylan the entire time when trying to get a photo of the two of them together! Love the tongue and determination!!!

Thanks for looking at my sweet and adorable nephews!!

Boy can she work the camera!

Seriously loved the evening sun.

I got some laughs out of her when I asked her to be serious and after I told her she looked beautiful.

You’ve got to be kidding me on this one! Hello gorgeous!!

Thanks again Rachel and Laurel for this fun photo shoot!

All of them had such stories to tell with their eyes, but especially Damali (2nd photo). This was her fierce, supermodel look and I love it.

I love that Dafina & Dinari have the same smile, with the teeth clinched together. What five year old does not do that?

I love sibling shots that are fun and different. Thank you guys for being willing participants on a day when you wanted to get to soccer practice!

I asked Addy to sit in the leaves for a few photos and she found two “nuts” (you can see one in her hand there). The elation and joy she got from that continues to make me smile. And those acorns were huge too!

Miss Isabelle, the happiest baby I’ve ever seen.

I’m totally in love with this photo.

I knew immediately that I was going to love this photo. I feel the love between these sisters and they are just gorgeous!
