We specialize in newborn & family photography because we love kids. Honestly, we're not photographers who work with kids sometimes. We're experts in working with kids. We think it's more than kinda important & what makes all the difference in creating a fun experience for your kids and a relaxing experience for you.

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. 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 local fam (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!

Hi, I’m Donna and I join the team with loads of experience working with littles and their families! My absolute fave title of my life is ‘mom’, and I literally can’t believe how quickly children grow up and fly the nest.

When I’m not in studio, you’ll find me hiking with my pups or curled up on the couch knitting!

marcy

Hello, I'm Marcy and I'm a bit of a sap. I love the experience of growing with families. In fact, I've been with the studio since 2011!

When not in the studio can be found camping with my family, Kevin, Blake, & Brooke! I also love to shoot landscapes, I was even published in a book!

I've moved into a remote role where I'm no longer shooting which allows me to work from home and focus on our School program!

Hey, I'm Sam and while I've been a photographer for years in New York, I only recently moved to Philly to be closer to family. I didn't begin my journey with kids as a photographer, but rather as a swim instructor. As a collegiate swimmer, I translated my love of swimming to teaching and coaching!

When I'm not in the studio you'll find me on my bike, at the gym, restoring vintage cameras, or hanging out with my family.

Sammy

Hey, I'm Sammy and I started my career as a nanny before finishing my Bachelor of Arts in Film and Media Arts at Temple.

When I'm not in studio you'll find me cooking, mostly Italian meals. Of course, I photograph them for insta!

Yup, we're Lara's little ladies (not so little anymore - ugh)! We both love to ride horses and are in the school plays. While Lorelai loves to play with puppies, volleyball and cooking with Nick, Caitie loves anything Marvel related, field hockey, drawing & student council!

While you'll find us in school most days, we get to the studio for events, usually giggling and drinking the hot coco or lemonade!

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'm currently a Penn State student majoring in biology. But am in Italy studying abroad this Fall. When I graduate, I'll be heading to med school!

Being in State College, leaves me less time in the studio, but I'm always close by!
