• You'd love to have a family portrait session that fully captures who you are, how you connect, and how much affection surfaces when all the members of your family are present within the camera frame.

    We're happy to capture your family in our studio, complete with gorgeous light and minimal distractions, or in your comfy-cozy home full of familiar toys and routines. No matter where our session takes place, we'll delight in your delight. And we'll encourage you to pay attention to one another instead of the camera, because there's no 'add happy' button in Photoshop.

    We don't care whether you're barefoot or wearing fuzzy slippers, and we won't be sending over a twenty-page list of suggestions about what to wear. (We can make you look beautiful in sweat pants if you love each other.) We just want to capture your family. Your habits, your quirks, and your love. And when you view the images we've created together for the first time, we want the depth of love you feel for your family to grab you by the collar and bring tears to your eyes.

    The video below provides a peek at how portrait sessions unfold. If you have questions or would like to schedule a portrait session, click on the 'Contact' link above or call 215-206-3689. Oh -- and thanks for stopping by, lovely!

    P.S. That's Kristen up in the header -- Haunani is camera-shy.

THE MAGAZINE! WOOP WOOP!

Um.  I guess there are photographers out there who are so used to being published that they open the magazine featuring their work, sip their latte calmly, read the article, yawn, and then go about their day.

I am not ashamed to tell you: I’m not one of them.  When the UPS guy came, I tore the package open while talking a mile a minute, did a little dance, started crying while dancing, and then read the article.  And danced some more.

This is even MORE special because it isn’t about me — it’s about GIVING IS AWESOME, which is — well, you know, awesome.  If you’d like to help in a simple way, GO HERE and vote for Giving is Awesome to win the ‘Name Your Dream Assignment’ contest.  We are steadily climbing up the charts — from 100ish yesterday to #56 today — let’s get to number one!!  Woot woot!  (See the last blog post for more details.)
