When I got the email from Terry & Michael that they wanted me to photograph their family at their new home in Philadelphia, I was so excited! Dara & I were able to visit Philly in January for our one year anniversary and we really loved the city. So this time around, we made a mini vacation out of our visit, stayed at our favorite spot The Hotel Palomar, and even brought our four legged child LOLA. Dara came along with me for this fun family session (lola decided to sleep in at the hotel) and I cannot tell you how much she helped. She is so great with interacting with the children and giving direction (we don’t pose people very often). She also photographed with me, and a few of these are her shots. I am so blessed to have her work along side me!
We started out the session with this little guy. John was so easy, super happy, and ready for his closeup. I think he’s a natural in front of the camera.

Michael really loves Thomas the Train and wanted his favorite train book to be a part of the shoot. I absolutely love it when people include some personal items that help tell the story of who they are. It could be a favorite toy or book for kids, or for an engagement session maybe incorporating the picnic basket used during your park proposal.

Like John, Rory was also thrilled to be in front of the camera and was such a great model. Dara got her to do a few spins in her pretty dress, and she totally worked it!

Then we had a fun family picnic in the backyard.

Me and Derek go way back….like all the way to 2007. I used to work at the greatest suglass boutique ever Solstice Sunglass Boutique, and Derek was the assistant manager. It was so much fun working there, probably because it never really felt like “work” and because of that crazy discount. It’s probably safe to assume that over half of my pay went to investing in quality eye wear. I say “investing” and “eye wear” because it sounds much more responsible than saying I blew all my money on designer sunglasses for dara and I, but that’s another story blog post. I will say that we still have boxes of “quality eye wear” including gucci, marc jacobs, ray ban, mosley tribes, dita, and oliver peoples; one can never have too many sunglasses.
After my time (and discount) at solstice ended, I still kept up with the crew, and heard the great news from Derek that he had started dating Jason. Dara and I met Jason and immediately loved him. He and Derek are perfect together and really compliment each other. We were so blessed to have them as guests to celebrate our wedding day in New Orleans and spent a few great nights at the wine loft together. When I was in Louisiana in March I had the pleasure of shooting these two. They were so easy to shoot and were super comfortable in front of the camera. And you can tell they were up for anything like running in a fountain together.
I had so much fun shooting Jason & Derek. Dara came along on the shoot to “help” which mainly consisted of making us all laugh. We had a great time in downtown Baton Rouge. Derek & Jason we miss you guys!

Today I celebrate the last day of being in my early twenties…..tomorrow morning, I’ll be waking up as a 24 year old and officially be in my mid twenties. Think about it: 20-23 is your early twenties, 24-26 is mid twenties; and 27-29 is late twenties. I know everyone must be on the edges of their seats wondering what I’m doing to celebrate this momentous last day of my early twenties. Well my friends, I’m working, sipping on lemon water, and maybe reading two magazines that came in the mail for me yesterday.
I’m also patiently waiting on my wonderful parents to arrive in the city. They are flying in from Houston for the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. I haven’t seen them since Christmas (which seems like FOREVER ago). I’m a huge momma’s boy so I can’t wait to see her and cannot wait to see my dad on his first trip to NYC.


Happy weekend to everyone
