Main Line Family Photographer | de Gennaro 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

Newtown Square Engagement Session | Malia and Chris

So wait, why am I telling you about this?  It has absolutely nothing to do with Malia and Chris and their lovely engagement session, right? I promise you it does!  There is a point, so keep on reading! Continue reading “Newtown Square Engagement Session | Malia and Chris”
