Newtown Square Family Photography | Chung Family | Ridley Creek State Park

Published on by allieskylarphotography@gmail.comLeave a comment

Two weeks ago, after a few rain reschedules, I had one of the most enjoyable family sessions ever.  The Chung family scored one of the most beautiful days with glowing sun and unseasonably warm breezes.  We explored Ridley Creek State Park, discovering hidden paths in the gardens and crickets in the fields.  Andrew is in my Kindergarten class, and while seeing your teacher outside of school can be strange (most of my students think I live in the classroom), he was happy to pose with his sisters and make his parents laugh when it was their portrait time.  Soo and Haesung have 3 amazing children with infectious laughs and mega-watt smiles. I am truly blessed by the families that come into my life. I cannot imagine a better way to spend my days!

Beautiful family photos at the philadelphia museum of art

It’s always amazing to me how much families change in just a year.  Children grow, bonds get stronger, 365 days of new memories are made.  One year ago, I photographed Stephanie, Brian, Drew, and  Owen (and Matthew) in the rolling fields of Valley Forge Park.  It’s one of those sessions I will never forget, for many reasons.  Mostly, I will never forget the bond and love this family shared.  This year’s session took place at the Philadelphia Art Museum, high above the urban jungle we call downtown.  We laughed our way down the rocky steps, and Owen ran his way back up, and licked ice cream as the sun finally set.  This family, right here, they’re pretty awesome and I am so glad to continue this experience with them!

Philadelphia Family Photography | Bennett and Luft Families

When your family is spread out around the country, it’s very special when everyone is able to come together for a few days.  The Luft and Bennett families (well, most of them!) were celebrating the end of summer in Media and decided it was time to update their family photos.  We were smack dab in the middle of a heat wave (I believe the index was well over 100 that day) yet we all made it through with many laughs (and with rotating AC breaks!).  Here are just some of my favorites… Continue reading “Philadelphia Family Photography | Bennett and Luft Families” →

Bryn Mawr Family Photography | Barnes Family

Noon sun is the absolute worst.  Seriously, ask any photographer and they will agree.  You will ALMOST never find me shooting midday unless I have to… or unless the cutest family asks last minute and it just so happens to be beautifully cloudy.  I sincerely believe that clouds are diffusers from Heaven.

The Barnes family was fortunate enough to have clouds and a sleepy town to shoot in.  We photographed their session on Memorial Day, and while all of Bryn Mawr was nursing a holiday hangover, we were gallivanting around this historic town.  With  posing in front of the old movie theater, crossing the walk in Beetles fashion, and all around laughs and giggles, this shoot is not one I will easily forget.

Christmas Cards.  What will we do for Christmas Cards? Family portraits? It was an odd thought that struck me out of nowhere. How will I ever be able to take a family photo again knowing that our family will be forever incomplete in every picture we take for the rest of our lives?

It occurred to me not long after our 3rd son, Matthew John, was stillborn 10 days before his due date last May that, all of sudden, something so beautiful, so joyous, took on a whole new meaning. I resigned myself to the fact that it would be a very long time before we would be able to take family portraits again – – or ever. Needless to say, we did not send Christmas Cards that year.
