Amanda contacted my Scranton family portrait studio about two months ago and asked me to photograph her family and I was honored that she asked. We had never met, although she is a wedding photographer here in the area where I live. Amanda is the owner of Amanda grace Images here in Scranton and as a photographer you rarely if ever have any pictures of you with your kids in them.

It was a pleasure to give the gift of photography to a photographer and I love that other photographers in the area ask me to do it so often. I can’t think of a higher compliment then to be trusted by another photographer to capture images of their family.

So many family sessions to share on the blog I don’t know where to begin. At our family portrait studio in Scranton we are full of people wanting their holiday pictures taken and often we head out of the studio for a lifestyle session. Documenting a family and their love for each other was one of the best things I did this week and this session was one of my favorites. Having a young family myself, I know how meaningful it is to have good pictures to hang on your wall. I have been a father now for two years and I am constantly taking pictures of my son. I am a big fan of apple products and they sell this little device that sits on top of my entertainment center called an Apple TV. I have probably 1000 pictures on it loaded with memories of my family via pictures I have taken over the last few years. If I can offer any advice to new parents it would be to get lots of pictures taken of your growing family. The time goes by so fast and you really want to make sure that you have pictures to remember each stage of your family as it grows. I know that when I am an old man I will be looking at the pictures I have taken over the years of my family. They are probably my most treasured possession.

Sometime being a photographer in Scranton PA is challenging… Sometimes it’s fun… Creating Portraits is part of my job as a photographer

Here is a preview from a session today I had with Albert & Melissa. They have been married for around 7 years or so.

In about 6 months Melissa will be a mother and Albert will be a Dad.

Now that you have all that random information can I say i love this picture?

The Gillian family came to our Scranton Newborn Portrait Studio last week for some newborn photography and thought I would give a little preview of their session on the blog today. I worked with them both for their maternity session and we had a fun day working together so when they came into the studio with this little one it felt like there was a new member of the family coming for a visit.

I love working with young families who are having their first child. I remember a few years ago when my wife and I had our first child and I can honestly say their is nothing like seeing new first time parents and the joy they have about the new little person they have welcomed into their family.

Check out these newborn baby hats that we used for this session.

Our Scranton newborn portrait studio is located on Meadow Ave in Scranton PA. If you are expecting feel free to fill out the contact form on this website and we can get you in our schedule when your little one comes.

Newborn Photographer Clarks Summit

Lavelle Family

The Lavelle family invited me to their home in Clarks Summit for their newborn family pictures this week and gave me their whole home to work with for their pictures. I was not able to photograph their wedding a few years ago so when they had their first child they asked me to photograph him when they brought him home from the hospital. It was really strange meeting them because I did not recognize them and then they started to tell me the story of how they met with me to photograph their wedding. Unfortunately, due to a scheduling change at the last minute I was not available on their wedding day. After they saw these pictures they asked me if I would be willing to photograph child’s baptism so a few weeks later I met up with them again for a few hours to document that special time in their lives. As a photographer you really are invited into peoples lives in a way that is hard to explain. There is so much joy that I get out of what I do and I feel really blessed about what I do for a living.

Every now and then I get a call about a family portrait session that involves around a dozen grandchildren. Most of the time I tell people I am not really interested in such a project. It’s not because I don’t want to do that kind of photography. I actually love the idea of photographing a half dozen kids.

The problem is usually managing expectations.

I could bring all the kids into the studio and get a very formal photograph, but things are changing in the photography industry as of late.

I like to think I am on the front end of that change here in Scranton. A family session with us is typically pretty crazy. It’s full of energy laughter and letting kids just be kids.

I like to capture children as they are and not force them into behaving in such a way that is not natural to them. What ends of happening is a series of pictures that are meant to be displayed together that represent the happiness that is a family.

Here are a few of my favorites from this session last week.

I thought I would take some time today to share a few images from a family session we had last week. Over the last two weeks I have photographed around 16 families from Clarks Summit. It’s been crazy… This is the first year I have been opening up our schedule for family sessions. I think part of the reason I have done this is that I have a little one at home these days so naturally people have been seeing pictures of my son and asking me if I could do something similar for their family.

I am so grateful to all the people who have trusted me this year with their family pictures. It’s been a bit overwhelming fitting everyone into my schedule and I am sorry for the people we had to turn away, but next year I will open up a few more weeks to get everyone in.

I honestly have had more fun with my camera this year then I have ever had and look forward to having even more fun in the months to come.

Hatfield Family

Today I thought I would share a very different family session that happened this week. I have known the Hatfield family for many years. Andy worked with me a long time ago before I became a photographer, so I knew him before he had kids. Stephanie is a personal trainer here in Clarks Summit at Browns Gym so she wanted to have their session on a track up at Abington High School. I have to be honest and say I was a little worried about how this session would turn out as I had never done something like this before.

Regardless of my worries I loved this session. This family has a ton of energy and they were very easy to work with.

Hope you guys love these images, because it was something I really enjoyed doing.

Yesterday, the DeMarco family came in from New Jersey for another session with us. The weather all day yesterday was a concern, but it ended up being a beautiful day for pictures. I photographed this family a few years ago and this time their was a new addition to the family.

I hope you guys enjoy these pictures as much as did taking them. It’s beautiful to see families as they grow and get bigger in front of my camera.

shot Jessica & Jeff’s wedding in Delaware last year and one of the things I love is meeting up with my clients when they have their first child. For this session I was brought down to Jersey shore a few days before the hurricane hit a few weeks ago. I met up with their family and spent the day photographing their beautiful son.

It’s always nice to get out of the studio every now and then to photograph newborns especially when I get to sit on the beach for a few days when I’m done.
