The coolest
team, ever
Experts in working with kids
it's not enough to be an amazing photographer, you have to be amazing
with kids because like a good teacher, it makes all the difference
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!

Maddie
Hey, I'm Maddie and you'll find my in the Wayne Studio! While I'm originally from Lancaster, my love of exploring started when I studies abroad in London before graduating from Muhlenberg College.
When I'm not in studio, you'll find me in the dojo as I'm a first-degree black belt in Tae Kwon or singing my heart out, as I'm a true theater kid at heart.
