"IMAGES YOU CAN FEEL"

I have always been obsessed with documenting life through a lens. When my first son was born (14 yrs. ago) I took things a step further and started to really learn how to creatively capture moments. I studied everything I could get my hands on and that was when I started to understand the science of light.

My children's first years were so magical to me, all I ever wanted to be in life was a Mom. I had a hard time believing and trusting that all my dreams had come true. The idea that this time was going by so fast made me want to hang on to every second even tighter. Somehow I felt that if I had a photo of each moment, I could actually freeze time. Well my boy's are 14 and 11 now so obviously I couldn't really freeze time, but when I look back at those photos... I am taken back to those moments again. I can actually hear their giggles, screams and babbles of nonsense. I can smell Johnson's baby shampoo, desitin, and strained carrots. So for me it is the next best thing to actually freezing time (and it really is my only choice). Because of this, I strive to catch those "real moments" that do evoke such memories in all of our senses.

My eyes and heart are trained on the little things others may overlook. Do I take way too many pictures of my own children, you bet I do. Do I take way too many pictures at every family session? You bet I do. Do I have to wade through hundreds of shots to get the ones that will move you to tears? You bet I do. Would I change a thing? Not for anything in the world.

One lucky little lady… Philadelphia newborn and family photographer, Moments Caught Photography

May 7, 2012 – 1:24 pm

I loved getting to know this new family, and can say with confidence that this little lady is truly blessed. With parents so obviously in love with each other and their new baby, and a wonderful support system this baby will have everything she could ever need. Looking very forward to watching this family grow over the years.
Enjoy your sneak peak “B” family!

    Beautiful session Sandy!

A dream newborn session…. Philadelphia newborn and family photographer Moments Caught Photography

April 25, 2012 – 12:55 pm

One of the biggest issues newborn photographers have is keeping the baby calm, happy, and asleep in order to achieve those beautiful curled up newborn poses everyone wants. Well… that was certainly not our issue with baby Harper (don’t you love her name). In fact we couldn’t rouse this little one no matter what we did. Finally at the very end of the session Grandma was able to use some tried and true tricks that only a Grandma can pull off and I got a small glimpse at baby Harper’s beautiful eyes. Enjoy your preview images and your beautiful baby girl!

and the award for the most hair in a newborn goes to…. Main Line, Philadelphia newborn photographer

April 23, 2012 – 1:45 pm

No contest, I have never seen a newborn with as much beautiful hair as little Addison (not even my own son, who held the record before now). Addison has as much personality as she has hair as you will see with the wide range of expressions she shows in her newborn photo’s. Her parents are clearly in love with each other and their new baby and I wish them a lifetime of happiness as a new family!
