main line family photographer | Allie Skylar Photography

Gone are the days of family photo session where each family member wears jeans and a white polo….unless you’re in Modern Family. Today, family sessions are much more relaxed, aimed at capturing genuine moments. Real laughs where sometimes you can SEE the laughter snort, or sweet tender moments that capture a bond. Some photos are messy, but that’s the way life is, right?

After a summer of rain and humidity, I was finally able to photograph the deGennaro family on a night that was both humid and rainy! Like the troopers they are, they rolled with it, and we raced around Ridley Creek State Park, lightning flashing in the distance. This family of 7 (yes, 7. Dogs are family members too!) reminded me how much I love photographing families. I’m booking a very limited number of family sessions this fall, and I would love to have your family in front of my lens too!

So excited to ship off this gallery! xoxo

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!
