The Ondocins: Pottstown Family Photography

A month away will do crazy things to your schedule, like put you way behind in blogging about all the wonderful people you've captured in portraits!  

But what better way to catch up on all that blogging than to start with such an adorable little baby!  Avery and her parents came up to Pottstown on the weekend of Mother's Day (yes, that long ago!  I'm so behind!) and we made a date for some family portraits.  

Despite a little chill and some breezy weather, the day was gorgeous, and so was the family!  Here are a few of my favorites from our morning together.








I had the best time playing and laughing with this little doll, and I'm so glad her parents made the trip all the way from Connecticut to do this (lucky me that her parents are our neighbors!)

Thanks, Avery, for being such a good baby!
And thanks, Mike and Amy, for sharing such a special day with me!

Keep smiling!

Happy Mother's Day/ Pottstown Family Portraits

Mother's Day...
It is my favorite holiday, which is fitting, since being a mother is the most amazingly challenging and fulfilling role I'll ever have.  

And so this week, I'd like to pay tribute to all the mothers out there, to all the strong and loving husbands who stand behind these amazing moms, and to all the precious children who bless their mothers' hearts and lives.

A Mother's Prayer
by Mary A. Loberg

Help me dear Lord, as a mother, I pray
And bless these hands folded in prayer today;


May they be ever strong as they guide, as they teach,
Being never too far for a child to reach.


May they never, with selfishness, try to dissuade,
Nor too quickly punish, nor too slowly aid.


May they point out the pleasures in laughter and song,
And may they show, wisely, the right from the wrong,


So that one day I’ll know that I’ve helped all I can
To make her a woman, to make him a man.


A special thank you to the special mothers in my life.
To my mother-in-law, who has treated my like her own from the first day we met.
I love you, Mom.


To my own mother, who taught me by example how to be the very best mother I could be.
I love you, Mom.


And to my precious precious babies.
Being your mommy fills my life with more joy than I ever thought possible and more than I will ever deserve.  
I will love you three forever.

(special thanks to dear friend Rebecca Cooper for capturing me with my babies!)

Happy Mother's Day!

For Dads! Your Mother's Day Gift is Here! Pottstown Family Photography

Mother's Day is just about a month away and each year I like to offer Dad a great opportunity to give Mom a fabulous gift!  This year's special is one Mom is really going to love!

I did some research this year and asked some fellow moms what they'd really love for Mother's Day and they all agreed that rather than a gift card, they'd love for Dad to take the initiative and get the gift himself!  I couldn't agree more!  

So Dad, here it is!




Bring the kids in for a mini session and have their portraits taken (and yours!) for Mother's Day.  Present Mom with this special gift on her special day.




This special is for just one day, so sessions are extremely limited!
Call today to book your mini session!
She'll love it!
I promise!

For Dads! Pottstown Family Photography

It is snowing as I write this.
I am so done with snow, so done with winter.
And so I am blogging about spring!  And warmer days, and outdoor fun!
And Mother's Day!

Wait... what?

OK, so I'm really thinking ahead.  But it's never too early to start thinking about it right?  Or better yet, planning it?  So here's the scoop.

I'm putting together something super awesome for all those dads out there who want to gift their wives with something extra special this year- and who don't want to have to figure it all out themselves!







Want to know what it is?
Well, then stay tuned!  I'll be announcing it in the next few weeks!
(Just enough time for all you moms out there to pass this post on to your husbands!)

In the meantime, stay warm today, and THINK SPRING!
And keep smiling!

Happy Mother's Day

This weekend we celebrate Mother's Day and I wanted to post a tribute to all the wonderful mothers I have met and photographed this past year.

"A Mother's Love"

A Mother's love is something,
that no one can explain,

It is made of deep devotion,

and of sacrifice and pain.

It is endless and unselfish,

and enduring come what may,

For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away...

It is patient and forgiving,

when all others are forsaking,

And it never fails or falters

even though the heart is breaking...

It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,

And it glows with all the beauty

of the rarest, brightest gems.

It is far beyond defining,

it defies all explanation,

And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation...

A many splendour-ed miracle
man cannot understand,

And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

Happy Mother's Day to all you special moms out there.

And to the 4 special moms in my life:

My sister-in-law, Tara, who is more like my sister.
My sister-in-law, Dani, who is months away from becoming a mom herself.
My mother-in-law, Carol, who treats me like her very own.
And my amazing mother, Mary Jane, who is the best mom anyone could ever have.

Chelsey & CJ: A Mother's Day Gift

Chelsey contacted me about this session last month when she began planning a gift for her mom for Mother's Day. She booked our session, having heard about a Mother's Day special I was running with Gwendolynn's Salon & Spa. She wanted family portraits of her and her brother to give to her mother.

I knew in an instant that this session would be wonderful because I knew right away that I was working with an awesome lady. Seriously? A college junior planning for her mother's gift a month in advance? And her younger brother, a senior at Spring-Ford High School, willingly joining her? I was so impressed!

And Chelsey and CJ did not disappoint! We met up at Valley Forge Park and found this little nook of a location that we all loved. They even brought their dog, Roxy, along to join in some of the portraits.

The warm evening light was perfect, and Chelsey and CJ were delightful! My only two complaints- CJ could not give me a serious expression, but kept flashing his handsome smile, and Chelsey was so pretty, I kept going back to wherever she was and overloaded my camera with her! Yeah, I know, tough day right?

Here are a few of my favorites from the evening.










Thanks for the great time Chelsey and CJ. I hope your mom loves the gift you put together for her. PLEASE tell her that I think she did an amazing job raising two beautiful children and that I'm sure she must be so proud. She surely is a mom who deserves such a beautiful and special gift this Mother's Day!

Enjoy pampering her and tell her I'll be calling her for parenting tips soon enough!

Keep smiling!
