"Regina has photographed our family for over 1O years. From our son’s 1-year photos where she set the mood and conducted a fun session in the comfort of our own home. She even includes the family dog! Her carefree nature while taking photos puts everyone at ease and she’s brilliant at finding just the right lighting and background to make coherent photos and a “look” throughout the album. Her photos of our family have become cherished possessions throughout our home. She captures everyone’s personality, especially our zanny son! Highly recommended." -Philadelphia area parent

At-home photo sessions are where the real magic lives! I love capturing all the camera-ready smiles and the in-between real moments. From rocks in pockets to love notes to tent-bed coziness to Lego city adventures to harvesting carrots out back…

What a dream to visit this island! A place I’ve always wanted to see and so inspired now. #nantucket
Small Business Saturday flew by, but it’s never too late to support the small businesses you love. I’m so grateful for every family who has trusted me with their photos this year. If you’re thinking about booking a session, sharing my work, or recommending me to a friend ... it all makes a difference. Thank you!

Grateful for my families who invite me back year after year. Watching these two sweet sisters grow has been such a highlight! It’s the greatest gift to witness your little ones becoming bigger ones. ❤️

Family photos take on another level when the family dog is involved. Somehow the dog manages to be both the calm and the chaos while also the star of the whole shabang.
Am I right, @allihoffkosik? ♥️ Irv!
I was so heartbroken when I heard that this sweet golden retriever passed away suddenly. These photos turned into little treasures, holding all the love, sunglasses-wearing goofiness, and fluffy tail wags that marked time for this family and brought so much joy.
I am so thankful to my clients who trust me to capture their family and beloved pets (who are like family members too).

It’s been a whirlwind fall portrait season — thousands of tiny giggles and silly faces! Preschool portrait days have become my favorite.
I love capturing the bold personalities and holding gentle space for the shy ones who need a little extra time to warm up. Every little personality showed up beautifully and it was an honor to capture all of them!
If you’d like to see me at your child’s preschool or daycare, I’d love to connect. 📷✨

It’s been awhile since I introduced myself here! Hi! I’m Regina — a preschool + family photographer based in the Philadelphia, Pa area.
I specialize in capturing kids and people as they really are: curious, funny, shy, bold, wiggly, thoughtful, and everything in between. My approach is gentle, natural, and connection-driven, so the experience feels more like play than pressure.
If you’re new here, welcome! I’m glad you’re along for the ride.
A little more about me …
My favorite People: Steve (my husband & high-school sweetheart), Mae and Bryce (our kids)
My favorite Place: Andorra Meadow in the Wissahickon @fowissahickon
My favorite Music: @drdogmusic ...Fun fact: Summer 2024 (slide 10) we traveled to CO to see their show @redrocksco and it was aMaZING!
My favorite Dog: River (our black lab). She makes us laugh every day. To know her, is to have rubbed her belly.
Thanks again for following along! Life is full, ever-changing, and wonderful. I capture the moments and people that make it meaningful. ♥️ And I’m so thankful to my clients who trust me with capturing their family memories.

Family photo season is here! Want genuine smiles and natural moments in your photos this year? Here are a few of my favorite tips to help your session feel easy, fun, and full of real connection:
🍁 Choose a relaxed, familiar location.
A park, your backyard, or somewhere your family feels at home will help everyone loosen up and enjoy the moment.
🍃 Coordinate, don’t match.
Go for complementary colors or tones that fit the season. Laying everyone’s outfits out together on a bed ahead of time can help you see what works best.
🍂 Get playful.
Hug, laugh, run, or be silly together — the best photos come from genuine interaction.
🍎 Bring snacks.
A quick snack break (pretzels or goldfish) can keep energy high and moods happy, especially with little ones.
🧡 Embrace the imperfect.
The best moments often come from the in-between — laughter, movement, and connection. Just keep smiling and let it unfold.
Bonus tip: plan something fun afterward, like a stop for ice cream, to give everyone something to look forward to!
I’m always chasing those real, natural, in-between moments that unfold during the progression of a session. Just keep smiling!!
