2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Event Photographer

AMC Photography Studios

Bryn Mawr

“When you’re planning a milestone event — a bar or bat mitzvah, a corporate gala, a community celebration — you want every moment captured with intention, artistry, and warmth. Ann Marie Casey of AMC Photography Studios doesn’t just photograph your event. She becomes a trusted partner in making it unforgettable. Her headshot work is in a category of its own. Last spring, she took professional headshots for my entire team — capturing polished, beautiful results in just a few minutes per person. What could have been chaotic was seamless, because that’s who Ann Marie is: a consummate professional who brings calm, creativity, and contagious energy to every moment.”

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Photography Studio

Ivory Tree Portraits

Wayne

“I have been using Ivory Tree for family pictures since my children were little. This year’s family pictures were quite emotional for me, because I really got to see how much older my 3 children have grown. I am so fortunate and grateful to have photographs of them through their years. This year was also quite special for me, as I was able to get headshots for a recent job change. I am very shy and awkward when it comes to pictures of myself. Kids these days are such naturals when it comes to taking pictures! But, it was such a fun process, and I didn’t feel uncomfortable or insecure. It was an amazing personal photo shoot and I was thrilled with the results. Ivory Tree is not just a photo studio for us. We wouldn’t think of getting our pictures taken anywhere else. They are like family and I am so thankful that they’ve been there to capture all our important memories through the years. Cheers, Ivory Tree.”

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Newborn Photographer

Jessica Catherine Photography

Havertown

“Jessica gave me the absolute best newborn photography experience! Jessica took her time, literally spending an entire day with us, to make sure she captured my little boy and our family perfectly. Jessica’s attention to detail and level of perfection matched mine to a tee; I couldn’t have been happier with the results. Not only were the pictures the epitome of perfection, but the artwork that followed somehow surpassed the pictures’ perfection. I also had Jessica do an album for each of my other boys’ newborn sessions. I was also surprised with an acrylic photo from each boy’s session. I love my artwork so much that I plan to have Jessica redo my wedding album because I’m so obsessed with her and her work. Additionally, I was incredibly nervous about how my two older boys would take to a stranger photographing them as they don’t do well with unfamiliar people, but from the minute, Jessica walked through the door, my boys adored her! She was so fun and patient with them. Lastly, Jessica had one more surprise up her sleeve when she sent me a Christmas ornament with one of my third son’s pictures. This kind and thoughtful gesture, literally brought tears to my eyes.”

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Photographer for Families with Pets

Lux Summit Studio

Lansdale

“Kristen is an exceptional photographer. Her background in social work makes her immediately adaptable to the children in her photo shoots. She does an excellent job at highlighting children and the special bond they have with their family pets. As a children’s book author and dog mom myself, I particularly appreciate Kristen sharing my children’s books, where they have a home in her Lux Summit studio library. She periodically shares my books ( and other local Pennsylvania-authored books) to her child clients. I love that she includes highlighting the importance of literacy and education for children during her photo sessions. Additionally, Kristen always finds a way to intertwine all walks of life and continues to elevate and advocate for family through her photography — do check out her Dog Mom Magazine that celebrates pet parents too!”

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Family Photographer

Megan Tidmore Photography

Wayne

“Megan has photographed our children, our family, and done individual portraits over the years, and each experience has been exceptional. She has a remarkable ability to capture both beautiful portraits and natural, candid moments, always finding the perfect lighting and flattering angles without making the process feel forced or uncomfortable. She has even photographed business/work conferences for us as well with immense skill and the ability to provide imagery that captures the mood of each meeting. She is incredibly easy to work with, puts everyone at ease, and consistently delivers images that feel authentic and timeless. She has even traveled with us for college photography, making milestone moments feel even more meaningful. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients truly sets her apart.”

– Main Line Community Parent

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Documentary Family Photographer

Polina Bulman Photography

Ardmore

“Polina Bulman was a joy to work with. She was warm, responsive, and took incredible photos at my partner’s 40th birthday party. It was hard to find a photographer who was willing to take on a smaller scale event — most people would only do either newborn pictures, family portraits, or weddings, but Polina took our event as seriously one of these at a price that was affordable. She made great recommendations about ways to optimize the photos. At the event she mingled comfortably with everyone in a way that was warm and non-obtrusive which allowed her to get great shots. As an LGBTQ family, it means so much to find professionals who are not only comfortable with our family, but celebratory. By the time she left the event — it felt like she was a member of our family!”

– Miram S.

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Family Photographer

Veronika Paluch Photography

Paoli

“Where to even begin? We found Veronika through a friend who had their newborn photos done and she said it was the easiest and best family photo experience she’d ever had. Given that she had a newborn + 2 toddler boys, I was sold! Veronika has now photographed our maternity session, newborn photos of our second, and extended family photos when our baby turned one. The pictures are always fabulous, which of course is the end result you want, but where Veronika truly sets herself apart is how easy she makes it. Mom & kids wardrobe is completely handled by her, and she also has a lovely makeup artist she works with. When you’re in the newborn trenches it’s so nice to just show up and let someone else take care of the rest. The sessions themselves are also just so easy, she’s a former teacher and it absolutely shows in how she interacts with the kids to get the best out of them. She offers the option of a limited gallery purchase, but I’ll never understand how some people can choose only a handful of images to keep when I easily have 20 I want to hang on the wall. Our walls are now filled with images of our family growing, and our babies growing up, thanks to Veronika – I could not be more grateful to have these moments in time preserved so perfectly!”

2026 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Family Photographer

Amanda Slattery Photography

Wynnewood

“Amanda Slattery Photography is the absolute best photographer on the Main Line! We’ve used many photographers over the years, but Amanda is now who we use exclusively. She does families, events, lifestyle, headshots – and we’ve used her for all! She makes it so fun – even those of us who hate being in front of the camera. Her images are beyond gorgeous – she uses lighting and color stories to bring unique qualities to her photos. And she LISTENS to what her clients want – the vibe, the aesthetic, the mood, the poses. She is also reasonably priced, easy to schedule with, and the all around best.”

– Mandy B.

2026 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Family Photographer

AnA Photography

Philadelphia

“Our family session with AnA Photography was everything we hoped for. Our child started out grumpy and overwhelmed, but Anwar met him with patience, humor, and such a gentle presence. Within minutes he was relaxed and genuinely enjoying the experience. The photos capture our family exactly as we are — joyful, loving, and perfectly imperfect.”

– Main Line Community Parent

2026 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Family Photographer

Daniella Bella Photography

West Chester

“We have used Daniella Bella Photography since my daughters (now 9 & 7) were infants. Daniella is professional but also personal, flexible and friendly, which has always made our experience with infant and family photos a positive and comfortable one. My kids (and dog!) love her and are very receptive to her. We are always extremely happy with her professional photos – she particularly captures candid moments well. Daniella also did a session for my daughter and her friends’ first communion in 2nd grade – the whole experience was memorable, and the photos turned out amazing – she really captured the special milestone both individually and with friends. She is my number one go-to for any type of photo session.”
