I have absolutely no idea how I haven’t blogged this family session sooner, but with the beautiful, [FINALLY] Spring-like weather today, I can’t think of a better time to share. This gorgeous family was wonderful to photograph. After shaking off some photo session jitters in the beginning, they were naturals.
I had trouble narrowing down my favorites, but here they are!.jpg "Ambler_Family_Photographer_1")

Happy Friday and yay Spring! :-)
When Michelle contacted me to tell me that she was expecting baby number two, I was so excited. Michelle’s first maternity session is one of my all time favorites and I was super excited to see Miss Sara Grace, who I hadn’t seen since her newborn session. This time around she was just shy of her second birthday and it’s funny how although she has of course changed a ton since then, she is also very much the same. She was a spunky newborn and she’s a spunky two year old too. My kind of girl. :-)
I may or may not have come home after this shoot and told Jason that we just have to live on a farm. Isn’t their farm the best?.jpg "schwenksville_maternity_photographer_1")

We were not thrilled with the horses. We liked them much better off in the distance, nice and tiny. I think Sara Grace’s face is so cute here though..jpg "schwenksville_maternity_photographer_4")
These are by far my favorites. They just seem like what childhood should be like and they make me smile very big..jpg "schwenksville_maternity_photographer_5")
Can’t wait to share little sister’s newborn photos…and of course more of Sara Grace. ;-)
I just love photographing Lauri and her family any time they’ll let me (poor Mikey has been forced to put up with far more photo sessions than I think he’d care for, although thankfully he’s a good sport about it). Miss Fin makes the best faces. I have been photographing her since she was a tiny babe and I can’t believe what a little person she’s suddenly become. She’s full of opinions – as most 2 year olds are – and talks up a storm and makes my job so much fun.
This particular session, we headed to downtown Bethlehem for some laid back hanging out. We strolled down Main Street, chased a band up the block, hugged a pumpkin, sang itsy bitsy spider and just generally had a fun afternoon. Here are a whole bunch of my favorites. :-)

Do you see what I mean about the faces?! The best!
Last year, Derek turned one and I was lucky enough to join his MANY friends and family to capture the event. It was like a wonderland for the kids with a bouncy castle, music and dancing, games and of course, cake. It was so much fun for me to capture all the happy little faces.
We started out with a few portraits of the birthday boy..jpg "Philadelphia_Birthday_Party_Photographer_1")
As I arrived, Derek’s parents and grandparents were still busily setting up since there were torrential downpours the night before, into the morning. Everything got done though and the Airport theme was adorable. I loved that Derek Airlines cupcake cake!.jpg "Philadelphia_Birthday_Party_Photographer_2")

I don’t think there are too many kids that don’t love bouncy castles..jpg "Philadelphia_Birthday_Party_Photographer_5")
The entertainment was the big hit of the day though. The kids and parents gravitated towards the music and games, even with everything else there was to do..jpg "Philadelphia_Birthday_Party_Photographer_6")
My personal favorite from when I was a kid, parachute games!.jpg "Philadelphia_Birthday_Party_Photographer_7")
I’m so glad I could be there for such a happy day for little Derek. :-)
These are beautiful, Katie!
