Baby Cassius was such an angel for his newborn session and his parents were so wonderful to work with! I love when clients trust my vision for a session and love neutrals just as much as I do.

Why Hiring a Photographer Is About More Than Just Pretty Pictures
When you're searching for a photographer—whether it's for your wedding, family portraits, welcoming a new baby, or another major milestone—it’s easy to start by scrolling through portfolios. And yes, style matters. You want to be drawn to their aesthetic, their editing, and the way they use light.

But here's the truth: hiring a photographer is about so much more than liking their photos.
You're not just booking a service. You're inviting someone into some of the most meaningful, emotional, and fleeting moments of your life. And when that moment passes, all you're left with is how it felt—and the images that bring that feeling back.
​
So how do you know you’re hiring the right photographer?

1. Look Beyond the Portfolio
Start with the images, sure. But then go deeper. What do you notice? Do the photos feel personal, emotional?
Photography isn’t just technical—it’s relational. A skilled photographer doesn’t just take beautiful images—they create a space where you can feel safe, seen, and capture your most precious memories.

2. Find Someone Who Guides the Experience
You want more than someone who just shows up with a camera. The right photographer will guide you through the process—from the first inquiry to the final gallery. They’ll help with planning, personalize your experience, give direction when needed, and also know when to step back and let real moments unfold. They will also help guide you on choose the right products for your home so you can be sure your images are preserved and not just on a cloud somewhere. Their role is part artist, part storyteller, part calming presence. Especially in high-stakes or emotional moments, a good photographer helps shape the experience, not just document it.

3. You’re Preserving More Than Just a Scene—You’re Capturing a Feeling
Photos are more than pixels on a screen. They’re the way your partner looked at you when you didn’t think anyone noticed. They’re your kids, still so small, laughing in the light. They’re the little details of your newborn baby that you never want to forget. These images aren’t just for now—they’re for your future self. For your family. For your legacy.

4. Choose a Photographer Who Gets You
It’s not about trends or filters. It’s about finding someone whose approach resonates with your personality and your values. Someone who listens to what matters to you, personalizes your session, and whose work reflects that connection. When the fit is right, the experience becomes effortless—and the results feel authentic and timeless.

Bringing Home Baby #2 (or #3, or #4): Advice for Welcoming a New Sibling
Whether it’s your second baby or your fifth, bringing a new little one home is always a big transition—for everyone in the family. As exciting and beautiful as it is to grow your family, it can also bring a mix of emotions: joy, nerves, guilt, and questions like “How will my first child adjust?” or “Will I ever sleep again?”
As a photographer, teacher, and mom myself, I’ve had the joy of walking alongside many families during this season—and I promise, you’re not alone. Here are a few tips (and gentle reminders) to help you through the transition of welcoming another baby into your home:

1. Make Space for Big Emotions
Your older child might feel excited, curious, unsure, or even a little sad or jealous—and that’s okay. Those feelings are normal, and temporary. Be ready for extra cuddles, meltdowns, or acting out. It’s just their way of adjusting to a big life change. Offering patience and reassurance goes a long way.

2. Involve Them in Age-Appropriate Ways
Let them help choose the baby’s outfit, grab a diaper, or sing a lullaby. Give them a “special helper” role so they feel included and valued. Even toddlers love feeling like they’re part of the team!

3. Prioritize One-on-One Time
Even just 10–15 minutes of focused time with your older child each day (reading a book, going for a walk, or just talking) can help them feel secure and seen during this transition. It reminds them they’re still just as important—even if your arms are often full of baby.

4. Go Easy on Yourself
You’re juggling a lot—new rhythms, new personalities, new routines. It won’t be perfect, and that’s totally fine. Take breaks, accept help, and remember: you're learning a whole new family dynamic. Grace over guilt, always.

5. Capture This Season—Even the Chaos
​It might feel a little wild right now, but this season is also full of magic. The way your toddler kisses the baby’s head, the sleepy snuggles, the in-between moments of love and laughter… they're all worth remembering.
Whether you're booking a newborn session or simply snapping photos on your phone, take the pictures. Someday, you’ll look back and see just how much love filled the in-between.

Bringing home another baby is a huge milestone—not just for you, but for your whole family. And while every child adds more chaos, they also add so much more joy.
You've got this. 💛

Cake smash sessions are always a great way to celebrate your baby's first birthday! Before the themed backdrop and the cake comes out, we take a little time to capture clean, timeless images of your baby, and a few family portraits too! These moments are so important — they show your little one’s personality, sweet expressions, and all those tiny details that change so quickly. Plus, when it comes to printing for your walls, most families prefer classic, neutral portraits that never go out of style. That’s why we include this simple portion in every session — to give you the best of both worlds: playful fun and portraits you'll treasure forever.

Then, it's time for the fun! We break out the cake and let your little one get messy! Each baby is also provided with a wooden spoon, just their size, to help make "smashing" even more fun! It's a little memento to take home after the smash to reminder them of this special occasion. Then, it's time for the bath so we can capture more smiles and to help get your baby clean. A smash-and-splash!

And, as always, LBP provides ALL the decorations, has plenty of outfits for babies for clients to choose from, and the best part - leave all the cleaning up to me! The LBP studio is located in southeastern Chester County, right down Route 1 from Philadelphia, near the mainline, and even closer to Wilmington, DE, making it a convenient location for so many.

Little Rohi here proves just how much fun he had celebrating his first birthday with a cake smash in the studio and I loved that mom and dad brought some Korean props to include in the session too!

I just love when families come back to see me year after year, especially when they are expecting a new little one! Watching families grow is truly the best part of my job.

It had been a few years since I talked to Jackie, and when she emailed me to book a newborn session, I was over the moon for her and her family!

She was a bit on the fence about doing a maternity session, but it was free and she decided that she did want to capture this moment after all. I'm glad she did, and I know she is happy to have that moment preserved in time.

It was also wonderful to see Mackenzie all grown up! She is now the sweetest big sister to her baby brother, Cameron!

I also love how Jackie wore the same dress to the maternity session and the newborn session and that her husband wore blue to match. 

If you'd like to book a session with LBP, please reach out so we can get you scheduled! Most moms-to-be reach out around the 20 week mark.

Although this might be my first session share of the year, this cutie pie was actually the last baby I photographed in 2023. Born on December 21st, she came into the studio on December 31st!

Welcome to the world, Siena! You are surrounded by so much love from your family and you and big sis are going to be the best of friends!

Once again, I am so honored that this family drove all the way from Hoboken for another newborn session with me. I photographed big sister, Clara, 2 years ago when she was a newborn and last month I had the pleasure of photographing their newest addition, baby Scarlett! I love that mom wanted to do some similar props and poses as big sister's session, but also some set-ups that were unique to baby sister. Looking at the big smile on Scarlett's face, I'd say she agrees!

Yelloooow, can you hear me? I'm in Pennsylvania dreaming about who you'll grow up to be...

Sorry, I had to 😂 Do you have that Adele song stuck in your head now?

Anyway, it's no secret that I absolutely love the color yellow and totally wish more parents would request it, both for boys and girls. I also love this little dude, Hayden, who was beyond amazing at his newborn session back at the end of January! He was one of those babies who let me move him in any position without a peep or twitch. As a newborn photographer, I recognize that it's not the norm, but it makes my job a lot easier!

And, can we also discuss how absolutely adorable he looks in that panda hat?!? Such a cute theme for a nursery and I hope mom and dad hang a big picture of him in his room! It would make up for the fact that dad is a big NY Jets fan instead of an Eagles fan (go birds!) Just kidding!

Another 2020 session in the books, another amazing little newborn! Baby Maclin was in the studio with his super sweet parents for his big modeling debut. He slept right through it all and when he was done, he was one of the most calm, alert babies ever. I know Mom and Dad are over the moon that he is finally here and are truly so blessed!

Welcome to the world, baby Mac!

Adorable little Charlotte was in the studio last month for her newborn session, and she was simply as perfect as could be. She was so calm, and peacefully sleeping that she barely moved as I was posing her. Sweet Charlottle was also surrounded by SO much love as her parents, big sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother joined her. It was such a pleasure to meet them all and they love they have for her already was just radiating throughout the room.

Below are some of my favorites from her session and I cannot wait to see how they look on their new gallery wall and in Charlotte's nursery!

I know they say twins are double the trouble and double the fun. They are also double the sweetness, double the cuteness, and seriously give me all the heart eyes!!! 😍😍😍😍

Teeny tiny Sloane and Scarlett were such a dream to cuddle and photograph. They loved being snuggled up to one another and in their mom and dad's arms! There were so many favorites from their session, and I'll try not to share any from their birth announcements, but I need to share all this adorableness with the world!! Enjoy and you're welcome! 😉

When this family announced they were expecting twin girls, I was so over the moon for them! I have been photographing big brother, Adam, since he was a newborn, and was hoping I would get the chance to do so for these girls. Jacqueline Stella and Katherine Emma were born into the sweetest family and are truly a wonderful addition! They are such cuddle bugs and LOVE being next to each other. Also, LOOK AT THEIR LONG LASHES! I have total lash envy ;) I know mom and dad are soaking up all these newborn snuggles and Adam is handling all the changes like a champ while being a sweet big brother! This family is so blessed!

I.can't.even! The rolls, the cheeks, the big smile!!! There simply aren't enough words to describe how adorable and yummy sweet Emersyn is. Such a good baby and I love the colors mom picked out for the session - blush pink, whites/creams, and mint. Here are their favorites from her session. LOVE!

Another perk of my job (besides snuggling babies!) is that it has allowed me to connect with people from my past. I've gotten to photograph old friends' babies and in this case, the teacher who took over for my second grade class when I went out on maternity leave with my son. I am so happy for Colleen and her husband, Dan, on their newest addition. Dylan is just the sweetest little thing and I hope these pictures go wonderfully in his navy, gray, and elephant themed nursery and play room. He is one lucky little guy to have such amazing parents, and they are lucky to have him too!

It's really amazing to watch a tiny baby I've photographed grow up, but it's even more incredible to watch them become a big sibling. Cruz is officially my first newborn turned big brother. There are so many more of "my" newborns who I will get to photograph as big siblings with their littles scheduled on my calendar this year, but Cruz will forever be a first! And, Cruz's little sister, Capri, was just as amazing as he was for his session. She slept like a dream and was simply adorable in pink, white, silver, and gold. Capri, you are such a wonderful addition to your sweet family and I look forward to watching you grow as well!

Finally all wrapped up with my 2017 limited edition sunflower field sessions! We had amazing, although hot and humid, weather. Here are some more sneak peeks of all the beautiful families and adorable kiddos that came out. I already can't wait for next year!

And, a special thanks to the Brandywine Red Clay Alliance in West Chester, PA for allowing me to photograph at this gorgeous location. If you aren't already a member of the BRC, please please please consider joining. The BRC is committed to conserving our watersheds, protecting natural resources, and inspiring and teaching the next generation. They host many programs and events as well as summer camps too!

The beautiful collection of newborn products I posted on my Facebook page the other day belonged to this family. Sweet Gavin surprised everyone, making it PAST his due date, and I had the pleasure of photographing him the morning before we left for vacation. He made my job SO easy that day, curling up into all the poses, showing off his adorable rolls, sleeping straight through the 3 hour session, and even giving me a few smiles!
