Sharing is caring!

When one of your dearest lifelong friends asks you to photograph her family at one of the most beautiful locations that happens to be one of our favorites, you better believe I will jump at the opportunity!

Of course, I would do anything for my girl Lizz “Bean” and her crew! We even had her sister Morgan and her kids join us for this special family photography session at Harriton House in Bryn Mawr, PA.

I’m lucky enough to say I have known this crew for about 20 years now and have been blessed to watch their children grow up through the years. Being able to capture these memories for them is truly special.

If you have been following me for a while, you probably already know my friend Lizz. She has been by my side, assisting me during my photography sessions for quite a few years and has helped me more than she knows. I am always grateful not only for her help but for her friendship.

A Bryn Mawr Family Photo Session at Harriton House

For this Bryn Mawr family photo session, we started with the kids. Traviss, Charlee, and Annabelle are absolutely adorable!

Annabelle loves running through the open fields at Harriton House. Her little curls bouncing as she explored the property was such a sweet moment to capture.

While she was enjoying the beautiful outdoor setting, I photographed Morgan with her children, Traviss and Charlee.

It took a little time to bring out those adorable smiles, but those genuine moments were worth every minute.

Next, it was time to capture Lizz, Danny, and Annabelle together. It took a little bribery to convince Annabelle to take a few family photos, but after that, lollipops worked like a charm!

Sometimes those little moments behind the scenes are what make family sessions memorable.

Danny works part-time for the Conshohocken Fire Company, and he wanted to capture a special photo with his little girl.

By the time we finished the family portraits, Annabelle was ready for a break. A little extra time with Daddy was exactly what she needed to feel better.

Sweet Mother-Daughter Moments

Lizz also wanted a few photos of just her and Annabelle, and how could I resist? Those quiet moments between a mother and daughter are some of my favorite memories to capture during a family photography session.

So we slowed things down and captured some sweet mama-and-daughter moments — and life was good.
