I really enjoyed this in-home Philadelphia newborn photo session. The D. Family was full of smiles and fun. Big brother was such a charmer, and their sweet new addition even got in on the action!
I loved watching this adoring mom and dad cuddle their sweet baby girl during their in-home Philadelphia newborn session.
I loved working with this sweet family for their in-home Philadelphia newborn photo session. This handsome fella is not only adored by his mom and dad, but also the family fur-baby too!
I’m very excited to be starting a new Blog Circle with a very talented group of photographers, devoted to sharing our work providing Lifestyle Newborn Photography sessions. Each month, the participating photographers will share a recent session to feature in the Blog Circle. To see more inspiring work, please visit the blog of Laurie Carrozzino Photography, Chester County Lifestyle Newborn Photographer.
I loved working with this sweet couple and their new daughter in their home for this Philadelphia Newborn photo session. <3
I was so flattered to be contacted recently by a new stationery company for a product review blog post. Purpletrail.com offers a great selection of super cute designs, and customizing our family’s holiday cards was SO fast and simple! Their design process is extremely intuitive and every last detail was fully customizable. Shipping was also really fast, so that we now have our holiday cards in hand and ready to ship weeks ahead of our usual schedule! 😉 I will definitely work with Purpletrail.com again! Also, keep an eye out for some of my OWN work to be featured on their sample cards in the near future! 🙂 (Card image credit: Melissa Stottmann Photography)

Loved working with this sweet family to welcome baby boy J and to help them say bon voyage to their home in Philadephia.
Dear Chance,
I woke up one morning recently to realize my baby is almost a toddler. How has this happened so quickly? We are getting so close to the one-year mark and my mind is completely unable to process this fact. With each new milestone, you reveal a bit more of your budding personality. We are getting to know you now, and it is incredible. You have preferences and desires now, and you definitely let them be known. You can cross the room in the blink of an eye, and you move with purpose and intention. You might not use actual words yet, but you do communicate with us. You also like to test us and seem to have a bit of a mischievous streak. Best of all, we are getting to see your sense of humor and your wonderful playfulness.
Now that I have children, fall is quickly becoming my favorite season. I look forward to this time every year, because it means that we get to do fun seasonal activities like pumpkin picking, hay mazes, Halloween costumes, and jumping in giant leaf piles. You “helped” us decorate the house for Halloween, and you and Theo danced to the Halloween music on Pandora as daddy stretched the giant spiderweb over the front patio. You laughed as the wind blew in your face on your very first hay ride. You even snuck more than your fair share of crunchy leaves into your mouth before I could put the camera down and come scoop them out of your mouth. 😉 Next year, you’ll participate even more…but this year was special because it was your first.
We also made a trip to the farm in Virginia this past month, and you had a blast playing with Theo and your cousins, Meriwyn and Marlon. You and Marlon are so curious about each other, and he loved playing with you and your brother. I so wish that we lived closer to your cousins, but even still it’s amazing what a wonderful bond you all are forming when we do get to visit a few times a year.
My sweet boy, just you wait. The holiday season isn’t over yet…there’s still plenty of fall fun in store for next month, and then we get to celebrate your birthday and then Christmas! I am so excited that you get to join us in our traditions this year! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. 😉
Love you my sweet boy,
Mommy

Dear Theo,
To quote Olivia the pig’s mom, “You really wear me out, but I love you anyway!”
This past month has been a challenge for us. Maybe it was the back to school transition making you more tired than usual, or that pesky cold that’s been hovering around our house for the past few weeks, or the fact that a photographer’s schedule always gets crazy busy in the fall, but lately we have been really butting heads. Speaking of which, you’ve also discovered how hilarious it is to say the word “butt” this past month. Oh my sweet boy…how you wear me out!
So this month, instead of focusing on the words I am just going to hold on to the pictures. I don’t want to remember the willful disagreements and those painfully long days when you decide to skip your nap. No, I only want to hold on to this…your spunky silliness, your playful creativity, and the incredible bond that I am so very blessed to be able to witness between you and your brother.
I love you my dear, energetic one. And I know we will get through this phase. <3
Love,
Mommy

Dear Boys,
If there’s one thing I want you to remember about this summer, it’s that we had a LOT of fun! I know I don’t always have the most patience, and some days are more exciting than others…but overall, I’ve really relished this first summer at home with both of you. It’s such an incredible feeling to watch the two of you experience the world through each of your unique perspectives, and to know that now our little family is complete. It just makes my heart feel so very full.
This past month, we got to spend a whole week with Abuela, and of course the two of you absolutely soaked up all the extra attention. I was really happy we were able to take a day trip to the beach with her, as I know she missed out on our annual trip to Sea Isle this year. You both loved playing in the sand and splashing around…it was such a fantastic day for all of us! 🙂
One of my favorite parts about this summer has been the hour between dinner and bedtime. This is the first summer where we’ve had a little bit of flexibility on bedtime, and it’s so much fun to be able to go out for walks, play outside, or treat ourselves to ice cream as the sun is setting. I look forward to summers in the future when we’ll be able to go out to movies in the park, Phillies games, bonfires, and even just watching the two of you chase fireflies after dark.
I love watching the two of you build your relationship with each other. With every passing month, Chance just adores you more and more Theo. And I love watching how much you love to snuggle with your baby brother and teach him new tricks too! You are the perfect little comedy duo, and your daddy and I have so much fun just sitting back and watching the show! 😉
As school starts in a few weeks and our schedules will change, it’ll be bittersweet to say goodbye to this summer. Of course, I’m also looking forward to spending the fall and the holiday season with you two, but for just a moment I want to just say thank you for such a wonderful summer. I love you both so very much, and I’m so very thankful to get to spend my days with you. <3
So much love,
Your Mommy
