I love the light and airy feel of this home session with this adorable family. Big brother was at that age where he was a complete tough guy, until of course he was around his new baby sister, then he just melted. :-) Oh, and how about all of that adorable red hair on baby girl? LOVE!

Teagan was just the sweetest, happiest baby for her photo session. The only problem was that I really just wanted to cuddle her instead of taking her picture. I also have to say that I have never seen a cat so interested in partaking in a photo session. She followed us from room to room and would inevitably sit right in front of the camera for her close up. Love this session and this sweet little girl!

Last night I got the final layouts for the Main Line Parent Spring Issue that I contributed photography to. So exciting!!! :-) I’m thrilled to be a part of such a great local resource and I definitely hope to contribute more in the future!

I was lucky enough to get to photograph this family twice last year, once for Nate’s first birthday, and then in the Fall as well. I am happy to report that he was just as sweet and content at this session as he was for his entire party. I just love photographing him…I don’t think I’ve ever met such a sweet little guy and I’m so looking forward to another session with this family this year!

These are just a few of my favorites from our Autumn afternoon in Philly.

Love those little teeth!

Happy Monday! :-)

I’m so excited to share the news that Finley’s first birthday party was featured on the Party and Event Guide blog! I absolutely love photographing first birthday parties and Finley’s party was definitely a blast. Lauri did an amazing job with all of the details and Finley’s aunt, Andrea, made the most beautiful beach themed cake. The Party and Event Guide blog is full of wonderful party inspiration so definitely head over to their blog to check out the entire feature!

Thank you so much Party and Event Guide! :-)

Here are some of my favs from the session!!

The session was meant to be a bit of a celebration of Heather’s parents’ 30th wedding anniversary, so of course we had to get some shots of just the two of them.

This location was comfortable for no one…but they were such good sports about it! :-)

This set of photos cracks me up every time I look at them.

Heather’s brother’s reaction to his dad’s kiss is so very different from her mom’s reaction. haha!

One of my favorite things about my job is getting to know the families I photograph on a personal level, and there’s no better way to do that than photographing the everyday, mundane moments they spend together and seeing the unique ways they show each other their love. I love photographing families as they are in their daily lives in their homes, and that’s what I want to do for you! So, to win a free, in-home, personal family session, just do the following: Tell me what an average day looks like for your family. What are the little ways you show each other your love? It can be as simple as story time, doing crafts or cuddling in bed before the day gets started. I want to know what special moments make your family unique or the routines that you want to remember forever. Send your email to katie [at] kmcmenamin.com. The email can be as long or short as you’d like but of course the more info I have, the better. :)

What you Win:
I will pick one entry and will come out to your home to capture your family in photographs. What you wrote in your email is what I will plan to photograph, so be prepared to just go about your regular routines! You’ll also get a gallery slideshow from your session posted online for 1 week and a 4×6 bound album of the best photos from the session.

The good news is that even if you don’t win, everyone who enters will still get a $50 print credit to be used on any session booked in 2012. Pretty sweet, right?

Rules:
-You must email me before February 29th, 5pm EST.
-The session must be scheduled and take place before April 30, 2012.
-You must be located within 35 miles of 19428 so that I can come out to you for our session.
-The session is non-transferable, and no credits for not scheduling your session in time will be given.

I can’t wait to read all your entries! I’ll email the winner once the contest wraps up.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

This little guy was so good for our session and his extremely big puppy brother was also very good. There are not many things that have the potential to be as terrifying as big puppy paws and little baby bodies, but thankfully he was very sweet with the new baby.

Aren’t his mom and dad just gorgeous? I think it was pretty much inevitable that CJ was going to be adorable.

I love when newborns have a whole hat wardrobe for us to play with. That football just kills me.

My favorite!

Happy Valentines Day!

Last Summer while we hung out at the park, I took some photos of her adorable little family and I realized that I never posted them here. So these are some of my favorites. Doesn’t she just have the most gorgeous kids?

Didn’t Fin’s mom, Lauri do a great job with all of these decorations?

I think this one has to be my favorite! :-)

After messy cake eating, of course it was bath time! Someone was not so excited. Haha!

Happy Saturday!
