I picked up my phone to just text this photo to some friends, but though hey let me share it here!

Was inspired recently after staying at a friend’s house to put this painting right here in my kitchen.

What if spaghetti sauce splashes it? Can it handle the heat? The color and joy it’s brought to me has already quieted these concerns.

Also, LOVING this bday gift tea pot from ♥️

One of the most frequent questions I get is “Regina! When’s the best time to take baby pictures?”

Would you just look at these chunky baby legs!? There’s no wrong time. Anytime is the best time.

Newborn photos are special because your baby is so tiny and fascinating. Six months or whenever your babe starts sitting up is another magical time. And then marking the first birthday with a photo session is another great moment. They’re all wonderful. Amen.

Photographing families in the weeks leading up to the arrival of a newborn is such a heightened moment in time.

I imagine this little baby will grow up and love to see these photos one day.

So much anticipation and love!

Nine months can feel like an eternity when you’re expecting a baby, but in the grand scheme of your life it goes by in a flash. Especially when you already have a little one you’re chasing after. Because of the way time seems to fly, I love capturing a few maternity images for clients who book a newborn session. This way the fleeting pregnancy time is documented before it’s done and fast-forward you’re holding your newborn in your arms!

Early morning Labor Day Weekend light ✨

I’m inspired by this Toni Morrison quote …

“I think of beauty as an absolute necessity. I don't think it's a privilege or an indulgence, it's not even a quest. I think it's almost like knowledge, which is to say, it's what we were born for. I think finding, incorporating, and then representing beauty is what humans do. With or without authorities telling us what it is, I think it would exist in any case. The startle and the wonder of being in this place. This overwhelming beauty—some of it is natural, some of it is man-made, some of it is casual, some of it is a mere glance—is an absolute necessity. I don't think we can do without it any more than we can do without dreams or oxygen."

That Cove Beach magic light! 💫

What a joy meeting families in Cape May this August for sunset sessions.

✨Another summer in the books. Hopeful for a healthy fall filled with family sessions and preschool portraits.

One of the many tasks of running a business is collecting client reviews/testimonials/feedback so that I can keep improving as a photographer and as a business.

This recent review from a newborn session made my heart soar!

Most importantly I hope it puts you at ease if you’re considering hiring a professional photographer. The more you trust the process, the more enjoyable the experience for everyone. ♥️

Photographing families at the beach is my second favorite location (my all-time fav being at your home). If you're planning to be down the shore this August, let's talk about setting up a photography session!

When people google "Philadelphia Family Photographer" and they find me and reach out, one of the concerns I get is "what if my kids act up during the session?". I am happy to say that it always works out!

Clients again and again will say "I can't believe you got these photographs, Regina!". For this session the moms were just off camera with some of the freshest material I've seen.

Pretending to fall is hilarious apparently! ♥️

I have been trying to photograph these elusive little cutie patooties all summer long!

They are living near the creek behind my backyard and in the field next to us.

This morning was finally my day. A mini fawn newborn session! 😊

Newborn photos to welcome baby #3 - A GIRL! Buckle up for the sweetest older brothers and Stella, the loyal rhodesian ridgeback. I love this family!

There are so many reasons to update your professional portrait. From profile pictures to email signatures, it’s so much easier presenting yourself in a professional way with a beautifully lit portrait.

When clients book me for a professional portrait session we talk about your goals for the photos, come up with a plan to make it happen and then meet for the session either in your office space or in an outdoor area.

It takes less than an hour and my turn around time is less than a week. It’s not that hard! Let’s get started!

Group rates available to photograph your whole team.

Message me today for available dates! Let’s get it on your calendar and off your to-do list.

I can’t get enough of this super cool family!

Dogs – plural, snakes, extended family under one roof (I grew up with my Grandpop living with us, by the way, and it was wonderful), WALLPAPER, drive-way basketball, flora, fauna, tattoos of the family snake, archery enthusiasm, impromptu weight lifting, The Philadelphia Eagles, matchy matchy but make it Hawaiian, motorcycle with a sidecar, the list goes on and on.

A palpable love and acceptance at this home. Inspiration!
