ridley creek state park family | 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

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!
