Summertime vibes. Time to start blogging again, like really blogging. This is a slow transition away from Meta. Back to the roots of blogging and creating original content that stands alone, with nothing to do with Facebook or IG. Meta has corrupted the idea of content and creativity and I won’t let that stand in the way of posting and keeping it real… ahh, the old, keeping it real debate. lol…. peep this song … by Qwel…”The it in keeping ‘It” real “
This verse always stood out to me ..
But brothers would it kill us to change from vain Jiggy, diddy, viddy what you give me to up jump the boogie But man it might change us to stay the same shitty Gritty, cities hittin kiddies with fronts, stunts, and hoodies Sissies with a name and claim to fame Woody looking goody, it’s all boogie to beat beat beat With deceit seat seeded and conceit’s teeth gleamin The truth gets diluted to me me me
Congrats to Deanna and Nick on their new baby, Vivianna! What a doll! Gotta give a shout-out to the very protective Farley ( best dog name ever, BTW) who made sure to let me know he was on close guard of the new precious matter in the house :)
Philly is the best place for a stroll with your sweetheart. There are so many cool alleys, funky streets, and historical sites that it’s hard to choose where to start. I had a lot of fun kicking around Elferths Alley and Old City with Rachel and Randy. These two have a great connection and had natural smiles every are they were close, making for some lovely images!
I’m excited about their wedding in Philly next March
Welcome, Maverick! Also, welcome Katie and Ron to the no-sleep club, lol.
It was really great to see the new parents again and meet their little guy, at their lovely new home on a hot spring day. The last time we met, it was a rainy day in a greenhouse for their maternity session, and the time before that was a totally perfectly cool day at the shore for their wedding. These two will make amazing parents and I look forward to the next time we meet. Maybe it will have to be while it snowing to cover all the weather conditions. :)
Fun fact: Katie’s mom used to tutor Jalen in the library one summer. She would reward him with gum when he did well. To this day, he loves gum and his grades have never been better!
See their intimate beach wedding – here – and greenhouse maternity session – here –
Summertime is here and in full effect! I met Kelsey and Jon for a bright and sunny portrait session in their neighborhood, Collingswood. In Copper River Park we had a few guests jump in the frame, can you spot the fly shot? After kicking it in the park for a few, we headed into town and stopped by Bespoke to check out their very excellent selection of home goods and house plants before wandering around Main Street.
I look forward to connecting with these two again in the fall for their wedding day!
Percy - Party of Four! Seana, Frank, and Maxine have a new member of the team - Xavier!
It’s always a pleasure to meet up with and photograph this fam jam. Next time we are going to chill and listen to records! Do you think they have ” Baby Shark” on wax? lol
It was a pleasure to meet this smiley guy! How about his crayon Vans?!? We had a loverly day for a family portrait session at Double Trouble State Park. So nice to have Aunt Sara and Uncle Doug join us. It is such an honor to create fun and creative images for such great folks!
