You may recognize the beautiful woman (Nina) in these photos from some of the portfolio photos on my website. I first met her via a friend: Ruben of Studio H Photography. He’d first worked with her through Model Mayhem and Nina and I were introduced during a photoshoot he invited me to. Oh, I guess I should mention -which- beautiful woman, since there are obviously two! Nina is the one in the bottom row/middle of the black and white photos. The other lovely woman is her mother.

Nina contacted me to shoot a family portrait session with her family in Longwood Gardens, PA as a gift to her mother for Mother’s Day. Yes, please! A beautiful family in a beautiful location, on a beautiful day with beautiful lighting. I couldn’t ask for more.

Below are a few of my favorite photos, but I plan to post a few others soon, plus photos from a recent wedding and another session with another beautiful family.

Isn’t the brotherly love sweet? After being with them all day, I could really tell how much these two brothers cared about one another. They picked on each other like brothers often do, but the bond there was obvious from the moment I met them.
