Milestone Session: Parker is One! [Delaware and Pennsylvania Lifestyle Family Photographer}

As much as I love Milestone collections, I am always said to see them end. It usually means that the baby I have photographed is turning one, and is now entering toddlerhood. I have had the honor of photographing Parker and his wonderful family since he was in his mommy's tummy, when I did their first maternity session at Longwood Gardens.  Since then I have watched Parker grow into an adorable little guy, and his big sister Natalie grow into a smart and wonderful little girl.

Even though this was Parkers 1 year birthday session, I focused on photographing the entire family just loving each other and having fun.  I was super happy to have Parker and Natalie's grandmother available for a couple of images!  Take a look below:

2013 Year in Review {Delaware Lifestyle Family Photographer}

Whew! Here we are again! Closing out another amazing year. Just a few months ago, I was saying that it is taking forever for this year to get over with, and now, here it is.  2013 has been an amazing year for Marisa Taylor Photography. There has been lots of learning and growing. Branding my business, coming up with a pricing structure that works for me, learning to cater to clients even better than I have before, new shooting techniques, finding and honing my style while exploring new styles, it has been a whirlwind. An amazing one, and I do not regret any of it.

Trying to balance raising a two year old, marriage, home life, and a business is tough. Especially when you have an auto-immune disease. But this past year has proven that I can do it.  That I DID do it.  There have been many times when I wanted to quit, when I just wanted to sell of my camera gear and not do it anymore.  Many nights that I have spent editing and emailing, and anguishing over photos.  Many days comparing myself to other photographers and why I am not them.  This was this year that I broke that spell. This was the year that I proved to myself that Marisa Taylor Photography is here to stay.

So with that said, 2014 is going to be even more amazing. I have special collections in store, I want to do more stylized family and baby sessions, as well as continue expanding my fashion brand, Marisa Seasan.  I want to learn more, grow more, and meet more amazing photographers and photograph more wonderfully amazing stories.

So let's take a look back at 2013:

In 2013, I have photographed 35 family and portrait sessions, 3 weddings, 2 engagement sessions, 3 boudoir sessions, 26 newborn and baby sessions, and 1 birth! Not to mention all of the sessions I have photographed of Charlotte, special projects, and my new dive into fashion portraiture. 

None of this would have been possible without YOU.  So a huge thank you to everyone! Everyone who has supported me, everyone who has believed in me, everyone that has trusted me to tell the story of the love that they share with their family.  Please continue spreading the word about Marisa Taylor Photography! Have your friends & family like the Facebook page!  

See you next year!

The Rosini Fall Family Session {Delaware and Pennsylvania Family Photographer}

Part of the reason that I love being a baby and family photographer is because I get to have my baby fix on a weekly basis. And let me tell you, little Miss Francesca, and those adorable cheeks make me definitely want to have another baby.  The last time I photographed her and her amazing family was when she was a newborn.  So as part of her Milestone Collection, we headed out to Ridley Park for their second family session, and at this age (Francesca was 4 months), the smiling and the gooing was in abundance!  She was such a good sport, even when I put her on her back in basket surrounded by leaves!  Take a look!

10 Day Blog Challenge: Day 8-Three Turn Ons {Delaware Wedding & Lifestyle Portrait Photographer}

Good morning, good morning! It's great to stay up late. Good morning, good morning to you! Clearly, I am in quite a musical mood today.  But let's get to today's blog post challenge topic...three turn on's.  I only get three, so I have to think carefully!

1) Intelligence. I can't help it, I love me a smart man. Or just smart person in general.  I think intelligence is a great thing. And if we can hang out and have a nerd off about a particular topic, then you are awesome in my book. Hey, it's how my husband got me :) I totally went after his brains.  Ok, that sounded a bit zombie-ish.

2) Style. I'm not talking about modern style also.  I love historical fashions. So if you can rock the Victorian, Renaissance, or Mad Men look, another A+ in my book!

3) Genuine. I'm only 25, but have been through quite a lot in my time here on earth (that makes me sound like an alien!). But one thing I do love is a genuine person.  There are so many people out there that are ready and willing to take advantage of you, who have the "what can you do for me?" attitude, that I ended up very guarded. It's nice and refreshing to meet someone who has such a genuine personality, that they just want to be there just to be there. Nothing in return except genuine friendship.


Ok folks, so what are your three turn on's? Pin It

Family Session-The Paul Family

Thanksgiving is tomorrow! I hope you all have a great one with your family, friends, and loved one.  Tomorrow, will be my first year cooking Thanksgiving dinner!

But before that happens, I have an amazing fall family session for you! Meet Scott, Carly, and Scarlett. An adorable family who loves Yo Gabba Gabba.  On a semi-related note, I watched it with my daughter for the first time today, and I think I enjoyed the show more than she did! Moving on, here is the amazing Paul family! I had such a blast photographing them. And Scarlett, is just too cute!
