Ciaran's portraits at age 3

I photographed my friend's son Ciaran in the new studio. It's almost Ciaran's 3rd birthday and he is such a little man now. He is outgoing and full of smiles and such a good sport about having his photos taken.

The new studio/storefront

I finally took some photos of the new studio! It is a storefront with a cozy living room area to meet with brides and high ceilings to show off my work. It also has a shooting area with a backdrop that comes down to photograph dogs and babies. I am so proud and excited about this new space so feel free to check it out! It feels like home everyday when I walk in and is a dream come true for me.










This is the shooting area.


All the window light that comes in is great too for available light portraits of babies.




New sample albums!








I offer custom framing now too.


I love this wall my husband painted for me. He added sand to the dark brown to give it texture and dimension.




Canvas clusters are a fun way to display multiple photos in a collage.


The dogs look great displayed in this modern way.

This is called a box mount where the photo is mounted on a 1 inch box and the sides are painted black. Great for the black and white dog shoots.


Here he is. Even Blue gets his own area of the studio!











Below is Liberties Walk, the development of stores I am in. Check out it's facebook page to keep up to date with activites. It's a fun new area of philly with two blocks of restaurants, bars, coffee shop, pet boutiques, salons, bakery and some other friends in the wedding biz too. In the summer months it is full of people strolling along this European feeling walk. The string lights add some ambiance all year long.







Below are some photos of TuBelleza an amazing hair and makeup studio, Beautiful Blooms, and Eclatante event design. This area is soon becoming a one stop wedding planning destination! I feel so fortunate to be neighbors with these talented creative ladies!






Beautiful Blooms has opened a flower boutique and has an amazing window for Valentine's day!



Liberties Walk is right across the street from the new Piazza at Schmidts
a beautifully landscaped, 80,000 square foot open-air plaza with free events year-round, surrounded by three new buildings including 35 artist’s studios and boutiques, four new restaurants, 500 apartments and 50,000 square feet of office space in the Northern Liberties neighborhood.
