Hiya, I'm Lara and I'm not a photographer. Yeah, I know super weird to own a portrait studio when you can't shoot. But I love the experience. I love chatting with all of the new folks I get to meet. I love the memories we create. I love the design aspect of our art. I love the team. I love the vibe. I love the fun we have. I love kids. I love my kids. I love our signature scent. Literally is there a better reason to go to 'work' everyday?
My favorite things include relaxing at the Chesapeake, snuggling with my labs, family dinner with (all 14 of us) every Sunday. gardening with my girls, and cooking with Nick. Ironically, I couldn't cook before the pandemic and now I'm known for my chocolate chip cookies, pizza every Friday night and fresh bread! I legit don't even recognize myself but I take it as a sign we are always growing!
If you pop into the studio, I"m the one wandering around without shoes and a cup of coffee in hand. Check out the blog for all the fun!

Kaeleigh
Hey, I'm Kaeleigh and I'm the Creative Director around here which means I'm the one who curates the backgrounds and ensures every image that comes out of the studio is quintessential Ivory Tree. It's kinda crazy that I've been with the studio since graduating from Antonelli in 2016.
While I'm originally from Staten Island, I grew up in Bucks Co which is why I love our Newtown (Bucks Co) Studio!
When not in the studio you'll find me with my husband, Dan, hanging with our family or at an Eagles game!
My favs
Nicole
Hey, I'm Nicole and I'm a University of Richmond graduate. I'm particularly proud of being goalkeeper for the University of Richmond's Women Lacrosse Team.
While I'm originally from Yardley, I love spending time in Lavallette with my family.
When not in the studio you'll find me hanging at the beach, surfing or doing anything outdoors really!

Sherlin
Hi, I'm Sherlin and originally hail from Richmond, VA! I hold a true passion for the arts, food, & culture which was cultivated during my studies abroad in both France & Hong Kong.
It was my photography career that brought me to PA in 2020, shortly after receiving my BFA in Photography at Savannah College of Art and Design.
When I'm not behind the camera you may find me at yoga, the art museum, out trying a new restaurant, or cuddled up with my dog Chloé!

Hi, I’m Fiona, and I’m the Studio Manager. I handle all things studio-related—whether it’s booking a session, answering your questions, or making sure everything runs smoothly. My goal is to make sure your experience with us is as easy, fun and stress-free as possible.
Originally from Scotland, I’ve made the Philly area my home for the past several years. When I’m not at the studio, I’m likely out exploring the area with my three kids, going for walks or fostering kittens and puppies for the SPCA (because there is always room for some extra furry friends in our house!!).

Lorelai
Hey, I'm Lorelai, Lara's youngest daughter! I'm in seventh grade. I love riding horses, being in the play, student council and volleyball. But my favorite is cooking with my dad!
Like Caitie, most days I'm in school but get to the studio for events, usually giggling and drinking the hot coco or lemonade! But my fav is giving out balloons during events!

While I'm usually at school, I do get to the studio for events!

Julianna
Hey, I'm Julianna but you can call me Jules. I've been with the studio since 2018. And if you ask me, I'll tell you I'm the head intern! I recently graduated from Penn State majoring in biology and am headed to Penn State College of Medicine!
Being in State College, leaves me less time in the studio, but I'm always close by!
