liam + lily wynn: lifestyle family session!

BLONDEPHOTO_090706_0236

say hello to liam + lily wynn! last week i had the pleasure of meeting these absolutely adorable children for a lifestyle family session with their parents + grandparents – so fun!

they were very excited, especially after liam confirmed with me that he “didn’t have to look at the camera” (too funny!) and i had a great time watching them riding their bikes, blowing bubbles, and playing on their awesome swing set. even better, their parents got in on the action – swinging and even sliding down the slide with the kids! they are such a fun and loving family – there was lots of laughter (due to lots of tickling!), lots of hugs, and so many silly faces. i just love seeing siblings play together – learning their favorite games, and funny things they like to do. i especially love how kids always want to show you things – they are such fabulous little entertainers! 

ENJOY!

evan: lifestyle family session!

BLONDEPHOTO-EVAN-033-5094

why hello evan!

i hesitate to refer to evan as “baby evan” since the last time i saw him he was just 8 weeks old! how time flies! he’s now just over a year old and he already seems like a little man to me! evan is just starting to walk and he is full of personality – i had so much fun seeing him again! evan was actually my very first newborn lifestyle session baby – i had no clue what to do with such a tiny baby but his parents were (and are!) so wonderful, it was the best experience! when rachel (his mom!) let me know they had moved into a new house and wanted to do another session i was thrilled! it was awesome to see the whole family (including the wild doggies!) in their new digs and make some really fun photographs!

enjoy!!

leigh + scott: anniversary session.

everlasting love.

BLONDEPHOTO-LS-003-2004

meet leigh + scott. this amazing couple is bound together by love, creativity, and laughter. a few weeks ago i had the opportunity to meet up with them in downtown philadelphia to celebrate their 8th wedding anniversary (woohoo!) with a fun, impromtu photo session!

the entire shoot was so wonderfully serendipitous – leigh is the genius behind LL2B – the fabulous + renowned maker of all sorts of goodies, most notably these custom lip balms! she contacted me a few days prior to the session to inquire about a shoot and see if i’d be in the philly are anytime soon. i was already planning on heading up on the 19th for two engagement sessions and was excited to squeeze her in – especially when i found out that the 19th was their actual anniversary date! so perfect!

in addition to LL2B, leigh + scott have a sweet studio + exhibition space in the city – basekamp – that showcases large scale collaborative projects by contemporary artists. we met at the studio and then walked around town, weaving in and out of parks, courtyards, and the oldest cemetery i’ve ever seen. we made our way back to basekamp and did a few shots on the roof and inside of the studio. i got to learn about their newest project and was absolutely fascinated by the projects they work on! if i ever hesitate to refer to myself as an “artist” it is because of tremendously talented and creative people like leigh + scott. to me, they are the coolest kind of artists – using visual and philosophical methods to explore dynamic sociological issues and truly living a life entrenched and influenced by art, creativity and knowledge. i really enjoyed spending the morning with these two and can’t wait to visit them again soon. 

enjoy!

baby elia: newborn session!

9 weeks.

BLONDEPHOTO-ELIA-004-3870

oh baby! last week i met the darling baby elia – it’s been a long time since i photographed someone so little and i loved it! elia is tiny, perfect, and has two wonderful parents who simply adore him. elia is alert and intense – his gorgeous eyes fixed on everything – especially my camera! being with them in the nursery was so great – i so enjoy watching the interaction between new parents and their baby. i could see the pride, fascination and love they both have for this little guy – and after the first few minutes i loved him too!

after some playing, laughing, crying, and napping, we took a walk to their favorite park. elia looked ridiculously cute in his tiny baseball cap and he loves being outside. it was a fabulous way to spend the morning and i am so grateful that his parents invited me into their lives to meet elia and capture all his expressions and adorableness!

enjoy!
