Luxury Philadelphia & New Jersey Family Portraits

Preserving the Beauty of Every Stage of Life (Before They Hit the Teen Eye-Roll Phase)

For Families Who Want to Be in the Moment—And Actually Have Proof They Were There

Time flies. One day, your little one is glued to your side, and the next, they’re demanding snacks and asserting their independence. Parenthood is a beautiful, chaotic circus, and you’re the ringmaster.

That’s where I come in. As a Philadelphia family photographer, I freeze time (not literally—I’m not a wizard… yet) so you can relive these fleeting moments, minus the tantrums and snack crumbs.

Because years from now, I want you to look at these photos and remember—the giggles, the hugs, and the time they actually thought you were cool.

 
 
  • "How do I book, and what’s the process?"
    First, you send me a message. Then, we chat. Easy, right? We’ll talk about your vision, location, and how to make this the most stress-free, fun, and least “What do I do with my hands?” experience ever.

    A session fee secures your date, and I guide you through everything—because let’s be honest, you already have enough to plan between soccer practice, school pickups, and remembering to drink your coffee before it gets cold.

    📍 Serving Philadelphia, South Jersey, Main Line, Delaware County, and the Jersey Shore! Basically, if it’s pretty and photogenic, I probably shoot there.

  • "Do I need to shop for outfits?"
    Nope! Put that Amazon cart away. I’ve got a client closet filled with gorgeous, handpicked, vintage and couture dresses for kids, and I bring them TO YOU. No last-minute mall runs. No debating if that dress you ordered is actually “mauve” or “dusty rose.” Just beautiful, stress-free options, ready to go.

    Dress Options Include:

    • Ethereal Tulle Gowns (For when you want that soft, magical, “straight out of a storybook” look.)

    • Delicate Lace Dresses (Timeless. Classic. Like your grandma’s fine china, but way less fragile.)

    • Vintage & Heirloom Styles (For a timeless, nostalgic feel—perfect for framed wall art.)

    • Whimsical Fairytale Dresses (Because what kid doesn’t want to feel like they walked out of a fairytale?)

    I also help with styling—so if you’re panicking over outfits, breathe, I got you.

  • "What can I expect during the shoot?"
    Here’s what won’t happen: Stiff posing, forced smiles, or awkward “What do we do now?” moments.

    Here’s what will happen:
    ✔️ Running, twirling, playing, and actual fun.
    ✔️ Kids being themselves (yes, even the wild ones).
    ✔️ Zero stress for you.

    We’ll meet at a gorgeous location—whether that’s a tulip field at Dalton Farms, a wildflower meadow in South Jersey, or chasing waves at the Jersey Shore. My job? To make you laugh, keep the kids engaged, and capture all the tiny, magical moments in between.

    Bonus: If your kid decides to photobomb their own sibling’s moment? I’m here for it.

  • "How do I get my photos?"
    Once the session is over, I go into full editing wizard mode, carefully perfecting each image so that they’re ready to be hung on your walls, gifted to grandma, and posted all over social media with the caption “I CAN’T EVEN 😍.”

    Within a few weeks, you’ll get a stunning online gallery where you can:
    ✅ Download high-resolution images
    ✅ Share with family & friends
    ✅ Order prints that make your walls look amazing

    Basically, you get gorgeous, joy-filled memories that last forever.

  • "What do other families think?"

    "The most magical experience! Dee made everything effortless, and the photos? STUNNING. My daughter felt like a princess!" – Amanda L.

    "I was so stressed about outfits, but Dee’s client closet was a lifesaver. Everything was beautiful, and the pictures were breathtaking!" – Jessica R.

    "Hands down the best photographer in South Jersey! She knows how to make kids laugh and capture the best moments." – Lauren M.

  • "What if my kids won’t cooperate?"
    Oh, they won’t. That’s just how kids work. But don’t stress—I have a million tricks to keep them engaged, laughing, and having fun. Worst case? We roll with the chaos, and those turn out to be the best photos anyway.

    "Where do sessions take place?"
    I offer outdoor sessions at gorgeous locations in Philadelphia, South Jersey, and surrounding areas. I also do in-home lifestyle sessions if you want that cozy, “we actually live here” vibe.

    "When will we get our photos?"
    Your final, hand-edited images will be ready within 2-3 weeks—faster if I resist the urge to spend an extra hour swooning over how cute your family is.
