Ann Marie, Sean and mini-Sean

Ann Marie & Dawn work together as 8th grade reading teachers at a local middle school. So, when Ann Marie and her husband Sean were thinking of having some photos done of their young family they didn’t really have too far to look. I was happy that they asked me to come to their home and photograph baby Sean shortly after his first birthday. We spent a couple of hours together shooting in and around their home on a gorgeous spring evening. It was great to hang with Ann Marie and both Seans (big & miniature). Thanks for having me guys. Enjoy your photos!

I think this was Sean’s reaction to an airplane passing overhead.

A very inquisitive look for such a young man.

Dawn pointed out how Sean and Sean Jr. have the EXACT same expression in this photos. Ha! They do!

I normally don’t ask anyone to get naked on their shoot. But little Sean seemed like he would be cool with it. So off came the clothes.

And then we finished the evening off with a wagon ride up and down the street.

This one is my personal favorite of the day.

Weddings, Engagements and Baby photos are coming!

So, I have been shooting, shooting and shooting lately. All this time out in the fresh air and sunshine is keeping me far away from my computer….which is good. But that means that with all of the shooting as of late, the editing has been getting backed up. Adding to that is the fact that I will be out of town for the next several days. So, before I leave, I wanted to post a few quick “sneak peeks” of some of what’s soon to come. I hope you enjoy these recent images. And if you happen to BE IN some of these recent images, congratulations and please enjoy the preview of your shoot. I am working hard behind the scenes to get these full blog posts and events up as soon as possible. Ok, OK. I’m on my way out the door very shortly. I’ll be back early next week. In the meantime, enjoy these images!

Roviellos, Richardsons & Famas!

This past weekend I was invited over to the home of Rick & Christine to photograph their family and grandson William. Rick & Christine’s daughter Cara had contacted me to shoot this family portrait session as a gift for her parents’ 60th birthday. In fact on Saturday, the day of the shoot, it actually WAS Christine’s birthday! What better way to spend a birthday than with all of your family hanging out, relaxing, spending time together and in the case of the Roviellos….cooking and eating! Thank you to Cara for having me out for the day. And thank you so much to the Roviellos, the Richardsons and the Famas for making my job so easy and enjoyable. I had a lot of fun with you all. Thank you for inviting me into your home and making me feel so welcome. I hope you enjoy these photos!

The birthday girl.

I had the privileged to document the making of a Roviello family traditional recipe for “Veal Birds”. Surprisingly there was lots of veal but no bird involved in the dish. I can actually almost taste these delicious treats when I look at this photo. So good!

The next item on the menu was Oregenata. Here Cara and her sister Tina are rolling out the dough for the Oregenata.

6 month old William soon took over the focus of the afternoon with his antics.

Proud grandparents.

!!CAUTION!! If you make a funny face during our shoot, it WILL get blogged!

And from here on out, Will kinda stole the show with cuteness.

Avery’s 1st Birthday Photos!

Avery is 1! And what better to celebrate the milestones of life than with a portrait session? After all, I was there when Avery was just 2 weeks old, so why not be a part of her 52nd week on the planet as well?Avery’s parents Jess & Andrew (good friends of ours as well) invited me over this past weekend for some portraits to celebrate Avery’s first birthday. The adults had a chance to catch up, Avery got a new dress from Dawn and I and best of all, nobody cried! Happy birthday Avery. Congratulations. Let’s do it again next year, shall we?

Abby & Jake

Just the other week I met up with Becky and her two little ones, Abby & Jake. We spent a few hours together playing at the playground, snaking and just a wee bit of crying….but I pulled it together sooner than later and dried up my tears for the good of the shoot! I hope you like the photos of the kids, Becky! They were a lot of fun. Hopefully we can do it again soon!

Abby & Mommy.

Nobody was happy that we were leaving the playground.

Caden’s 1st week

Pete Malone — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 18:19:27 +0000

Kate & Jon have been planning Caden’s first photo shoot long since Caden was out and about. He was born just last Wednesday. Kate had seen an image of a newborn in a football helmet on TV months and months ago. She showed me the photo that was saved on her DVR well before Caden was born so that we could get an idea of what she wanted for his first photo. Luckily for us all, Caden was able to fit a very quick photo shoot into his feeding and sleeping schedule yesterday afternoon.

We placed (the very well behaved) Caden gently into his dad's old Ursinus College football Helmet and shot very cautiously and quickly. You never know how much time a newborn is willing to give before a crying fit! Kate & Jon, I hope you guys like the helmet photo. Congratulations on the tiny new addition to your family. Lots of love!!



Introducing Baby Avery
Pete Malone — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:58:22 +0000
I spent yesterday afternoon with two lovely ladies; my good friend Jess and her brand new baby daughter Avery Maia.  Avery was born just over 2 weeks ago.  Yesterday was her coming out party!
Congratulations to Avery’s proud parents Jess & Andrew Surden.  Thank you Avery & Jess for spending the afternoon with me.  I hope that we can do it again soon.
A fresh diaper and a wardrobe change and Avery was ready for her close-up.



Jess and I traded for a minute.  Jess took my camera and I took Avery.  Jess proceeded to snap one of the best photos of the day!


Avery has a fuller closet than me…and she’s only 2 weeks old!  Of course I don’t poop in my pants (that often) so, I guess I can get away with a few select outfits.









We got a smirk out of Avery just before I took off.  She was probably glad that I was packing up to go!
