Willow Grove Family Photographer

Pete Malone — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 19:11:46 +0000

Almost four years ago I had the pleasure of being the videographer for Barb & Mark on their wedding day. They had a beautiful late November wedding at The Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Center City Philadelphia with a reception at the Cescaphe Ballroom in Northern Liberties. Barb & Mark called me a few weeks ago to photograph their family while they were all in town over the Christmas weekend. With video editing I get to feel as though I know each person in the wedding video very well having seen them over and over and over some more during the course of the edit. So, meeting up with Barb, Mark (who, by the way are expecting) and their family was like getting together with good friends…..not to mention the fact that Barb, Mark and I totally hit it off right from our first meeting over three years ago. You guys are the best! Thank you for thinking of me for your family portraits. It was absolutely my pleasure to see everyone again and spend the afternoon with you all. And Mark you definitely do make some top notch nog!

Willow Grove Newborn Photography

Pete Malone — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 02:26:59 +0000

Samuel is new around here. He was born just before Christmas. Sam’s mom Kate is actually our son Max’s pediatrician. She has been so kind and helpful towards Dawn and I as we learn the ropes of being new parents. From our very first visit to her office several months ago Kate, set Dawn and I at ease and made us feel very comfortable. We are lucky to have found such a caring and patient doctor to look after our little guy and to take the time to answer any and all of our “new parent” questions.

One recent morning I photographed Kate and her husband Randy’s new (and adorable) baby boy Samuel along with his big sister who was super excited to have her photo taken. These are a few of my favorite images from that shoot. Welcome to the world Samuel!

Ocean City Family Photos | Gettin’ Beachy With It

Pete Malone — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 01:52:28 +0000

My good friend Mike and his wife Jenn asked me to meet them on the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ the other week for a family portrait session. So Dawn and I packed up the baby (and all that accompanies a newborn) and we headed down the shore for a couple of days. First stop……Ocean City. Mike, his brother Ed, Dawn and I all went to high school together and it had been a while since we had seen each other. After we said hello and told each other how young we all looked etc. etc. it was on to the photos for Mike and Ed and their families on the beach. Thanks for giving us an excuse to head down the shore guys. It was great seeing you all. The kids are adorable. Enjoy these photos!

Ambler Engagement Photos | Kristin & Anthony……and Jack

Pete Malone — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 23:16:06 +0000

Kristin & Anthony are holding their wedding celebration this coming November at the Flourtown Country Club. Although we just met for their engagement photos the other week, they have both been on this blog before. Kristin graced these pages as a guest at a bachelorette party for Kate Middleton and Anthony was a groomsman at Melissa & Ed’s wedding at the Talamore Country Club last September.

Kristin’s son Jack joined us for the first half of the shoot in Ambler. He was a total pro in front of the camera and I think we came away with some great family shots for Kristin, Anthony and Jack. Enjoy these pics guys. See you all again in November.

My good friends Leah, Evan and their daughter Ellie are visiting the East Coast this week. I met them on Wednesday in Baltimore for a visit and to take some photos as I had not yet met Ellie. Great seeing you guys! Ellie is beautiful and she is such a happy little girl.

Senior Portraits | Jessica

Pete Malone — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:01:54 +0000

Jessica is a senior in high school. She is also my brother in-law’s niece as well as a super cool and fun girl. We met for a senior portrait session the other week. Being that there was family involved, the senior portrait session turned into a family photo shoot which somehow turned into a Gina & Tammy in pink feather boas shoot by sunset. Hmmmm…….I wonder how that happened?

Jessica, Tammy, Nick & Georgie, I had a lot of fun with you all. Thank you for having me out with you the other week. Good luck in your senior year Jessica. You are a beautiful girl…….just look at the photos below as evidence of that!

Marisa was the only one that climbed a tree in a dress that day.

Family photo time.

Near the end of the night some of the tougher and unruly seniors showed up.

Halfway to 100! Floyd’s 50th Birthday Bonanza.

Pete Malone — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 23:22:56 +0000

Happy 50th Birthday Floyd!! You celebrated like a champion last weekend. Congratulations my man. Here’s to health and happiness in he next 50 years!

We love you 217.

- Dawn & Pete

More of Floyd’s 50th bash is over on the personal blog.

Ann Marie, Sean and mini-Sean

Pete Malone — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 17:41:02 +0000

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.

Katie + Brian + Kennedy | Philadelphia Museum of Art

Pete Malone — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 22:51:20 +0000

Instead of a straight up engagement shoot, Katie & Brian wanted to include their beautiful daughter Kennedy in their engagement session at The Philadelphia Museum of Art the other week. Kennedy kinda stole the show with cuteness. She was BY FAR the most well behaved and pleasant baby that I have ever been around. She was completely happy and relaxed for the entire shoot. With Kennedy willing to play along with any of our ideas, we were able to capture some great family portraits for Katie & Brian’s young family. Enjoy the photos guys.

Kennedy almost made it all the way up the “Rocky” stairs on her own.

After working the camera for a while, Kennedy took a break so that I could spend some time focusing on Mommy and Daddy.

Clouds started to roll in near the end of our shoot. But Kennedy was well prepared for any sort of weather with her stylish little hoodie.

Weddings, Engagements and Baby photos are coming!

Pete Malone — Wed, 26 May 2010 06:46:08 +0000

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!
