Beth, Chris and N were kind enough to invite me up to Philadelphia to photograph them in the neighborhood where Beth grew up. It’s a really cool area, where we couldn’t go more than half a block without running into someone Beth knows. I met this rad family at another client’s wedding and it was great to see them again. And always exciting when folks are looking for that documentary angle to their family pictures (because I really don’t do any other kind of family sessions).

Many visitors to my blog will already know that I am not a full-time wedding photographer (yet).  This means lots of things.  For one, it means I can’t photograph as many weddings as full-timers because I simply don’t have the time – this makes my brides extra mega special to me, and it also means I get to be really selective about who I work with, which is completely awesome.  Sometimes it means I have to be away from DC for a while and might be a bit late returning phone calls.  And very, very rarely, it means I get to ride in a helicopter.
