  • About Us:

    We are a husband-wife photography team located in West Philadelphia. We were married in 2009, and we share a love for God, for each other, for others, and for photography.

    We shoot primarily on-location, lifestyle photography, meaning we don't shoot within the confines of a studio, but come to you (your house, a park, etc.). We feel that this allows us to give you more real and more natural looking photos. We shoot weddings, engagement sessions, family sessions, child/newborn sessions, senior portraits, or just about anything else you could imagine. We would also love to photograph you event--a birthday party, church or company event, or anything else. Just let us know what you have in mind, and we'll work it out!

February Photo Challenge: Photo-A-Day

(posted by Kerith)

I’m totally jumping on the bandwagon here. My bff & her sister both posted about this photo challenge for February, and I thought it would be fun to do also. Each day is a new word/theme, and you have to take a picture of that and post about it! I’m a day behind, so today will be two posts. Let’s see if I can do every day this month! This February is also a Leap Year, so I’m excited about that. I love leap years!

Here goes!!
Day 1: Your view today (well, yesterday)

Yesterday I volunteered at the Philadelphia Auto Showwith work and got a free ticket as a thank you. The hubs was very excited about that! It was fun walking around & seeing Jay drool over cars. We got to take a (very uneventful) ride in the new Prius Highlander & sat in some pick-up trucks that I had to take a running leap into. Overall, a fun time.

Here’s a view from the day:

Jay trying out a fancy schmansy car. Like how his jacket matches?

It’s a bird, it’s a plane….

…. It’s Ellie, the wonder-pup!!

 

 

ps- excuse the messiness in the background. Our home is a work in progress.

The M Family

Before Christmas, we had the pleasure of photographing the M Family at Lorimer park. Elissa & Dan, thanks for being such troopers in the cold! Your baby is just too precious!!

 

She's almost ready to take off walking by herself!

 

Check out those baby blues! She is adorable!

Our favorite family shot to finish off. Lovin' the sun flare!

 

I’ve got a question for you…

Today is the four-year anniversary of Jay asking me to marry him. It’s crazy to think of how much has happened in the past four years. We got married (obvi), bought a house, got a pup, learned how to fight and make up, and so much more.

Each year we go to the restaurant Jay took me to after he proposed to celebrate. We went this past Friday and had fun reminiscing about the night he proposed. (I almost canceled on him that evening because I wasn’t feeling all that great.)

Hubs, thanks for teaching me about the awesomeness that is merino wool socks, coercing me into running a marathon, rubbing my feet after a long day at work, and taking Ellie out when it’s dark and cold because I get spooked too easily. Love ya!

Some pictures from when he proposed. He wrote me a song.:-)

 

 

Speaking of engagements, congrats to this happy couple!!

My widdle brudder (translation: little brother), Russ, proposed to his girlfriend, Aimee, over Christmas break. Congrats!

1st Birthday: Paige

Happy New Year!

It is time for us to play catch-up. We have some family sessions and some photos from our vacations we are looking forward to sharing with you.

First up is Paige’s first birthday photos. We met Jimmy & Esther at church and were so excited to photograph their almost-one-year-old daughter, Paige. Brace yourself, because she is ADORABLE!

We started off the session with the family in some traditional Korean outfits. They are so pretty!

 

 

Some fun with chalkboards.
