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!

Giggles rolled through the fields and tall grasses as the sun hung low.  The Gebhart family held hands and laughed together, enjoying an evening out together.  I was fortunate enough to teach Kayla in Kindergarten last year, and I loved seeing her sparkling personality.  Not to be outdone, little brother Kurt told jokes and giggled deep belly laughs while making silly faces.  I am lucky, y’all.  Lucky to spend tiny moments with real families.  Lucky to capture their dynamic and see document their love.

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” →

Once in a blue moon, everything with a family shoot will line up- sweet personalities, adorable pets, lovely weather, and golden sun rays.  When everything falls into place, some of my favorite family moments are created.

A few weeks ago I received an email from a mom who was concerned about how her family would look in photos.  As she put it, they weren’t perfect and didn’t look like the typical cookie cutter family.  She hadn’t had family photos done in about a decade because of this and this news broke my heart.  Look, y’all…. I never ever try to make the families I photograph look “perfect”.  My goal going in to every single family session is to capture families as they are.  I want to capture the family dynamic and individual personalities. When I look back at my own family photos, the ones I love and cherish are the ones that show personalities.  My brother’s face is puffy from crying, my sister is giving the stink eye to the camera, and I look like a snotty mess with orange cheese doodle residue on my face (and most likely only one sock).  I’m sure during these photos my mom was attempting to pose and coerce us into perfect little children.  But we aren’t.  AND I LOVE IT.  Today, my whole family enjoys these photos and we laugh seeing that even at a young age, our personalities were vibrant (although I would like to point out that I’ve cleaned myself up since then…) Continue reading “Philadelphia Family Photography | Thurber Family” →
