je vois photography

There’s a family who I know would adopt me if anything ever happened to mine.  My mom’s best friend, the grandmother (although she looks and seems too young to be called that) of this bunch, asked if I could photograph some of the day her first granddaughter was baptized.  She had three sons of her […]

There is an adorable family that goes to my church that I hadn’t gotten to know very well.  Their kids are a little older than mine, and we just hadn’t had many occasions to visit.  This summer though, they had a new baby girl and I was so excited when Silena called me to take […]

While I was away this month, some dear friends had their first baby.  I hate that I couldn’t rush right over to the hospital.  Luckily, Caleb was still very sleepy and tiny so I could take some precious infant portraits.  He’s adorable.  And watching Andrew and Jana with him was priceless.  What a marvelous phase […]

This is little Owen.  I got to meet him 6 months ago when he was less than a week old.  How adorable is he now?  Equally adorable is his big brother Jamie.The real problem is that I’ve photographed this beautiful family so many times that they’ve become friends.  I have to make myself stop talking […]

Several years ago I nervously drove to the home of a family from my church to photograph their new baby.  I didn’t know the couple very well and hadn’t shot many newborns, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.  A few hours later I left with captures I knew they would be happy with, that […]

An old family friend called a few months ago to get her adorable son’s one-year portrait session scheduled.  Sadly, I hadn’t met John Turner yet.  Both his mom and dad are calm, easy-going, reasonably quiet people, so I expected similar traits in him.  But no, no, no… this little man is on the move, expressive, […]

In the past, when you’ve seen my favorite little McCarthy family, there have been just four.  At the end of the year, though, Amy’s mom contacted me about family portraits for the WHOLE family.  That included her (Debra) and her 4 daughters, plus all their spouses and children.  As with most activities that involve that […]

Are you sick of family Christmas card pics?  I am.  But I love this little family so much that I can’t help but post it.  About halfway through the session, Rachel (mom) and I decided that 18-months is the hardest age for photos.  Charlotte was not going to sit still for more than 15 seconds.  […]

This Christmas was wonderful for my little family.  I hope yours was, too and that you have a very Happy New Year! 

My friend Dan has 3 babies.  He always refers to them as “my babies” in this sweet southern drawl with eyes ablaze in a way that makes you feel how much he loves them.  You’d think he was talking about infant triplets… but no.  These “babies” are 6, 3 and almost 2.  I got to […]

Do you remember the precious Cloud boys?  We saw them as newborns and then again last Christmas.  Now they’re full-blown, running around, candy eating toddlers.  One thought I was funny and liked the camera.  The other thought I was crazy and wanted no part of my nonsense…This black and white image makes me laugh.  It’s […]

The Guillens called me after sweet Selena Harrison told them about me.  We hadn’t met until the moment the session begin (which was a little late since Susan and I both forged Friday afternoon traffic to get there.)  When her gorgeous girls hopped out of the car at Mt. Laurel, I knew I would love […]

The sweet McCarthy family is quickly becoming my most photographed family!  We met for some family and 2-year portraits last spring, did Amy’s beautiful maternity portraits a few months ago and this week I got to meet the newest addition- Owen!  He was just 5 days old here, but alert and sweet and snuggly and […]

Meet the Harrisons!  You saw daddy Kevin a few years ago when we did a session to use as publicity for his music career.  Now you get to meet the rest of the family.  Gorgeous Selena is one of those people that really listens to you when you talk, and remembers what you say.  We […]

I’ve photographed the Hogue family a few times.  At the start, I admired them and liked Meredy, but I didn’t know them that well.  Now I love them each.  And Meredy has become one of my dearest friends.  Someone I would call to cry or pray when I’m at my lowest.  And someone I thoroughly […]
