“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” – C.S. Lewis

Connecting with your family across the generations is an experience so precious and so valuable. It’s an event to be honored. There may come a time as we age when it feels like there’s not much more we need to learn. We’ve experienced so much, been through more than we can recount, and grown to be the complex mosaic we are today. But look into the face of that child standing beside you. Reflected in it is a natural wisdom that develops through their innocent curiosity. The world is novel and unsullied, and to see it again through their eyes is to re-experience it anew.

Our time spent with multiple generations sustains our youth and reminds us to play once in a while. Your babies are grown but they never stop being your child, even when they have their own babies. Don’t let them forget that! Live in this moment now with the ones you love, and make memories to treasure forever. Enjoy each smile, learn from each struggle, and always strive to Make Love Your Goal.

For a design consultation to discuss your next unique family portrait session, please call the studio (856)478-6990. We are so happy to provide you with artful ways to share your memories, that also serve to honor the ones you love.

The weather is getting warmer and the buds are already pushing out from the trees. Our farm will soon be opening up with blossoms and leaves, which presents a new photogenic scene every few steps. Every summer brings a new dimension to the gardens and farm. Your portraits this year won’t be the same as your portraits last year. Just like the landscape around us, our artistic style develops with time, guaranteeing you with unique portraits for life.

We want to provide each client with individualized attention and care. To co-create your inspired portrait session, we want to collaborate with you beforehand in order to best bring your vision to life. For this design consultation, please call the studio (856)478-6990.

Not all of us step into the shoes of our mother’s (or her wedding dress!), but knowing who she is aside from just “mom” brings us closer to her in much deeper ways. Sometimes that understanding brings us closer to who we are, and even more surprisingly to who we want to become.

What makes this photo session so special is the sisters playing with the dress together. We travel back in time with them to their mother’s wedding day. Through their joking and giggling the room is transported to the moment when their aunt stood beside their mother as her matron of honor. This experience of recreating a joyous moment shared between sisters is a priceless treasure. The session also took our minds to the future. We see the sisters together and can clearly envision that one day they will stand like this together again. For all of us at the studio, we were moved by the session and are so grateful to have been a part of creating this deeply layered series of portraits.

Make Love Your Goal

The very foundation of our studio is built upon this simple phrase. It is incumbent that we hold each individual session to the highest standards of creativity and portraiture. Our goal is to provide you with work that not only hangs like art upon your wall but also touches your heart. To have a design consultation for your next unique portrait please call (856)478-6990.

April is the month when everything shakes off the frost and begins blooming. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the last frost for our area will be April 11th, which means you can expect a lot of flowers and trees to be pushing out color in the next couple weeks. Fairmount Park in Philadelphia is a favorite place of ours to have photo sessions. Our studio is located just 25 minutes south from this stunning park, also making it an accessible location for our Phildelphia clients.

We love watching the quiet beauty of the flowers slowly blooming. It’s the perfect angelic setting for a Holy Communion Portrait session. For your session, don’t forget about the little details! Notice how the girl’s rosary beads perfectly match the blossoms on the trees. It’s that attention to detail and styling that takes the portraits to a higher level of art.

Blossoms like this will typically begin blooming the third week of April. Check your calender so you don’t miss out on this small window of opportunity to be photographed with the cherry blossoms! Call the studio to book your appointment today (856)478-6990.
