Allyson and Will met at a Halloween costume party seven years ago and we wish we knew what they were dressed up as!
We enjoyed a gorgeous engagement session with the couple recently locally at Longwood Gardens. Says Jana, “As soon as I saw Allyson’s dress I knew we were taking them straight to the purple Wisteria!” The two are to be married this fall in Philadelphia.

Nate & his parents came all the way up to the studio from Annapolis for our MiniSession with them recently! He was such a handsome, curious, and bright little boy and we loved the time we all had together.

Brother RJ and his sister brought their significant others together for some wonderful family portraits that also showcase perky canines Lily & Lexie!
RJ and his fiancé Stacy are to be wed this fall.

“When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk. He trots the air, the earth sings when he touches it.” –Dauphine in “Henry V” by William Shakespeare, regarding one of his favorite animals: the Horse

The flowers were remarkable and the weather was absolutely perfect for some perfectly irresistible equine fun!

This vibrant and sophisticated young lady is Rachel and she had her portrait session with us in her home recently. She was so excited when Jana asked her to put on her “party dress”! Rachel LOVES MUSIC and is gifted with the violin. The house was amazing and the perfect backdrop for this special pre-Mitzvah session. Making a cameo in this photo set is her adorable Shih Tzu! We’ll be there to capture her special Bat Mitzvah celebration this coming weekend!

We love working with this ever-blossoming family! From the engagement session all the way through to their 4 year old firstborn and toddler twin young ones, we have really seen this couple grow into an energetic, thriving little family unit.

This MiniSession features happy girl Melanie and her parents with fluffy pup Belle. Such a precious little girl!

Baby Enzo is back! He’s one of the studio’s favorite little guys — and he’s getting bigger and bigger; soon we won’t be able to refer to him as Baby Enzo anymore! We seem to have an unintended theme with Enzo’s portrait sessions — race cars, anything with wheels! His FIRST SESSION with us as an infant ended with him in a red race car. (Seriously- click that link- most adorable baby boy on the planet!) In his mini-session with us a week ago we couldn’t get him away from the bright yellow sports car parked outside of the studio!

Happy Mother’s Day to Enzo’s mommy Kim! And Steve – we can’t wait to have you three back at mkPhoto!

If you like these, you’ve got to see baby Enzo’s portrait session with us from last June, too! We can’t get enough of this big-eyed little boy.

We’re celebrating Mothers this weekend at mkPhoto – here are a few images of Lydia & Mommy from their MiniSession with us a week ago!
Baby Lydia was the cutest and chattiest little thing when she warmed up to us, and with eyes as large as the moon! Practicing her vowels and consonants made it an adorable challenge to capture a smile, but we got one in the end. :)

Pretty young lady Remy posed for her pre-Mitzvah Getting to Know You session with us in Hockessin recently. She’s a natural! (Styling by Aubrey for Claudia Seyler Hair and Makeup)

These fun, informal portrait mini-sessions are wonderful for allowing our clients to see what we do and how we do it so they know what to expect at the actual event. The sessions are a part of the Mitzvah package the portraits from them are great to use for a variety of reasons ranging from Mitzvah party invitations to guest sign-in books for the Mitzvah celebration itself!

We are looking forward to Remy’s Bat Mitzvah coming up in June.
