Merry Merry!

Snow Session {Moorestown Photographer}

I wasn't sure if this session would happen because the evening before was filled with gusty winds and our first snow of the season.

I'm so glad we decided to brave the chilly temps and have a 'snow session,' it was WONDERFUL...so many amazing shots.

For now, here's a little sneak peek.
Love this ~

and this how about this little beauty, just gorgeous ~

and full of personality, she wears her cowgirl boots everyday, and knows how to work the camera:)

Worth the wait {Moorestown children's photographer}

We had to reschedule this session a few times due to all the rain we've been having, but we finally pulled it off on a chilly but beautiful morning!

I love the lip...how adorable? {and don't worry mom, we have smiles too, I just can't get over the cuteness of this}

the handsome big brother ~
and last but not least, miss pouty lip's gorgeous twin sister:-)

I hope you all have a Happy Turkey Day! I'm making my first trip to the Macy's day parade. Can't wait:)

Fa la la la - la la la {Philadelphia children's photographer}

Okay, so the title of my post is cheesy...I know, I know, but the holidays are in full swing here! I am finishing my 2009 sessions and I'm working long hours designing holiday cards & finalizing galleries so prints can be ordered in time for holiday gifts {remember, prints must be ordered by 12/1 to ensure holiday delivery}. I feel like an elf, and then this dress...how can you not want to rock around the Christmas Tree with a dress like this?



...and have you noticed that B*101 is already playing holiday music..and the turkey isn't even on the table yet:) Sheesh.
Fa la la la - la la la:}

Don't adjust your monitor, she really is that cute! {NJ child photographer}

Ohh, I loved this session so much! Everything was beautiful, the family, the light, the location, just loved everything:}



This little beauty, has quite the personality...I brought dolls and a tea party along and she really just wanted to play with her cars! How cute is that?
You know me, although smiles are great, I can't resist the pensive looks, here's one that I adore and she is holding her cars:)

Dynamic Duo {Moorestown, NJ photographer}

These two are both adorable...



and fun....


I'm not sure who had more fun at the photo session, me or them?

Great job on the styling Mom! I love Crewcuts, they have the cutest fall/winter line this year...I wish they sold that adorable grey dress in my size:-)

Connection {Moorestown child photographer}

I really adore capturing the connection between siblings. This brother and sister duo were so cute together. This was a mini session, but I was having such a good time that it turned into a not-so-mini session:)






I have availability for one more mini session this Sunday (11/15) in the afternoon, contact me @ lisa@lisatrakis.com if interested:)

Cutie bear {Moorestown baby photographer}

I'm thoroughly enjoying photographing the cutest kids around in the gorgeous weather this week.




I love this little bear's blue eyes, isn't he adorable?

Happy Harvest! {South Jersey Child Photographer}

Aahhh. There is nothing better than crisp fall air, adorable models, and beautiful foliage for portraits.



I'm hoping for great weather in November, all of this weekend rain is wreaking havoc on my portrait schedule. As of now I have two available spots for the mini sessions this Saturday (November 7th) and I'm booking for January 2010 for full sessions.

The Newborn Special {NJ baby photographer}

I had such a great time learning the art of 'baby whispering' and baby posing from the amazing Kelley Ryden!

Here are some of my images from the
workshop ~

Since I'm so excited to photograph newborns this winter, I'm offering 25 complimentary custom designed birth announcements for all winter newborn sessions (December - March). Also, the first three winter newborn sessions booked will receive a $100 print credit.

**Sessions must take place before the little peanut is 2 weeks old:) Please contact me with your EDD to get on the calendar***

Magical Morning {Haddonfield Child Photographer}

I had such a wonderful time this week photographing one of my favorite families!

Now this shot is a little different than the close-up-looking-right-into-the-camera shot that I normally share in my sneak peeks...this just speaks to me and I adore it. There is something magical in the lovely morning light, and the content smile of a carefree 3 year old on his swing.


Speaking of magic, this is a new favorite of.all.time...I just keep going back to look at this one. It doesn't get much sweeter than this!


Check out this adorable family...


I'm going to tag this as an example of What-to-Wear. I'm often asked how families should dress for portraits and this look has everything I would recommend: color, texture, layers, a fabulous coordinated color palette that isn't too matchy-matchy, and last but not least custom hats from etsy!

Oh, and before the emails start rolling in, the baby's dress is from Mini Boden. I adore Boden!

2009 Holiday Mini Sessions {Moorestown Child Photographer}

It's that time of year again!

The 2009 calendar for full sessions is closed...and this will be the only day of minis this year, the final openings for the season. {Click to see larger}

They were announced to my wait list over the weekend and they're selling like hotcakes:) Get'em while the last!

Two little princesses and their family {Moorestown family photographer}

These two little girls are all about princesses, so adorable:)



and what's a photo session with two little princesses with out a princess tea party?

Sisters {Moorestown child photographer}

This one just makes me so happy:}
I love photographing sisters...I think it's because I just can't imagine my life with out my 2 sisters. They really are my best friends.


I'm sure these 2 little ladies will spend hours battling over clothes and staying up late chatting about love and life:-)

Availability update: Full sessions for 2009 are all booked up {still accepting newborns for 2009}. I've had several inquiries for mini sessions and I may open up a few mini sessions in early November. If you are interested in a mini and would like to be the first to know the details, drop me a note at lisa@lisatrakis.com.

Best Friends...

These little guys aren't brothers, they are best friends:)


Well, their mamas are bffs and they are destined to be the same.

So much to share, so little time {Moorestown baby photographer}

I've been busy lately photographing lots of adorable kiddos, and the newborn workshop was AMAZING!! I will share more on that soon.
For now, here's one of adorable Cruz...


Best of luck this weekend little man!

Newborn Casting Call {NJ newborn photographer}

Sweet baby girl {NJ newborn photographer}

She was so sweet and so sleepy...


We could not wake her up, that's okay with me, I LOVE sleepy baby shots.

This little guy was so adorably squishy...



and totally tuckered out for his photo debut.
How cute it he?

Love her baby blues! {Moorestown children's photographer}

I had so much fun photographing about-to-turn-1 year old cutie this weekend! She has the most beautiful blue eyes.




Happy Birthday, baby E!
