One of the greatest joys of being a family photographer is seeing families return year after year. It’s truly an honor to document their growth and the beautiful changes that unfold over time.


I was so excited to see little Eloise again—she’s grown so much in just one year! This session was full of laughter and sweet moments. Eloise was a happy, giggling girl who clearly loved being photographed with everyone in her family. Some of my favorite images from the session were of her with her uncle—their bond is already so strong, and it really shines through in the photos.


For this session, Claire’s mom wanted to incorporate the Philadelphia skyline, so we chose RCA Pier in Camden, NJ as our backdrop. It was a little breezy that day, but the view of the city and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge was absolutely stunning. RCA Pier also features a beautiful green space in the center, which would be perfect for a spring, summer, or fall photo session when everything is in full bloom.

If you're looking for family photography in South Jersey or want to capture your family with the Philadelphia skyline in the background, RCA Pier is definitely worth considering!
