“AMC Photography is by far the BEST. The professionalism, the beauty, the patience is all captured at the highest level of quality. I will absolutely be using them for small to big events for family, friends, and work. Most recently they snapped special Fall moments with my family and made its way to our holiday cards and the main photos in our living room. The work is just superb. So grateful.”
– Michelle G.
“We have been getting photos from Ivory Tree for many years now. EVERY picture is beautiful! I am so happy with the professionalism, creativity, and reliability. It’s always a wonderful experience when working with them!”

2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Photographer
Megan Tidmore Photography
Serving the Philadelphia suburbs
“I would like to nominate Megan Tidmore for her work with me and my family for our family photo session. She was recommended to me by someone in my neighborhood as I was looking to find a new family photographer. Before Megan I was using another photographer once every 6 months for my two small children (They are not so small anymore 9 and 11 years old). I wanted a photographer who was patient, efficient, creative and unique but also the photos to be timeless and beautiful. Megan created photos that met my criteria! She was thoughtful & met all of my requirements for my photos. Mostly my son (who is the 9 year old) was starting to lose patience half way through the session and Megan was able to convince him to get through the rest of the session. I am surely going to use her for my special family moments moving forward, she is now stuck with me and my family for a lifetime! I think she deserves recognition and I am looking forward to our next session together.” Thank you, Dr Agarwal.””

Best Documentary Family Photographer
Polina Bulman Photography
Main Line and Greater Philadelphia
“While I have not had the privilege of working with Polina Bulman personally, I have been deeply moved by the incredible connections she forges with everyone she meets. Her ability to build meaningful and genuine relationships with her clients is nothing short of extraordinary. Polina has a rare gift for making families feel completely at ease, allowing her to capture their most authentic and beautiful moments. The memories she creates for her clients are not just photographs—they are treasured reflections of love, joy, and connection. Watching her work is witnessing magic in action.”

2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Newborn Photographer
Veronika Paluch Photography
Serving the Greater Philadelphia Region
“It’s always a wonderful experience with Veronika. I first came to her for maternity and newborn photos…and 4 years later, she’s still our trusted family photographer. I have looked nowhere else since then! She went from a baby whisperer to toddler whisperer, capturing the most natural stages of our lives…the crying, the clinginess, the laughing and silliness. Besides being an amazing photographer with her composition and bringing light to her photos, she’s a true giver and always have the families interest as her priority. She has an enormous wardrobe to dress her families and would take time to help you style it to what fits your family needs and personal taste. You know you’re in good hands when you’re with Veronika!”

2025 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Photographer
AnneMarie Hamant Photography
Serving Philadelphia, the Main Line, Chester County, and beyond
“Annemarie is an extremely talented photographer and such a pleasure to work with. When we saw rain in the forecast for our scheduled family photo shoot, she was extremely flexible and accommodating, offering several different ideas on alternate times / locations to ensure we got the photos we wanted. At the session, she was so kind and engaging with our 3 year old son to keep him focused and happy during the shoot. She has a lovely vision and I couldn’t believe what beautiful photos she captured in a short period of time. I will absolutely work with her every time for our family photos!”
– Main Line Parent Community Mom
2025 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Photographer
Daniella Bella Photography
West Chester
“Daniella takes absolutely gorgeous photos and she is so good with newborns and moms. Her studio is cozy and inviting and Daniella is very sweet and friendly. After loving my first baby’s photos so much, i couldn’t wait to schedule a shoot with Daniella as soon as i found out i was pregnant with my second baby. I couldn’t wait to be back in the warm comfy bubble of the studio, watching the behind the scenes magic, and i couldn’t be happier with the results. These are photos we, and our families, will cherish forever. It’s so important to have these early days documented in such a beautiful way.”
– Lauren E.
2025 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Newborn Photography
ElannaDPhotography
Philadelphia and the Main Line
“Elanna has such a great way with newborns. She is patient, thoughtful, and such a pleasure to work with. Elanna went above and beyond to accommodate us- when we forgot a bow for our toddler’s (the big sister’s) hair, she offered to let us borrow a headband from her collection (saving the day), She delivered beautifully composed images that captured this special moment in our families life perfectly.”
– Lauren G.

2025 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Photographer
Katie Hess Photography LLC
Philadelphia suburbs
“Katie is the best newborn and family photographer I have ever worked with. She is so patient and will not rush any session. She understands life with a newborn means unpredictability and she will stay as long as she needs to get the shots you’re looking for. She knows babies need to eat, need support to sleep etc and is so patient. She is excellent with little kids and getting them to enjoy a family photo session. It never feels forced to them!”
– Kristen Y.
2025 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Newborn Photography
Meredith Hunt Photography
Downingtown
“Meredith loves what she does and it shows in her work and all her interactions with her clients. The photos she has taken of my newborns are absolutely incredible. She captures the smallest details that are so easy to miss in those busy newborn days. I had told her I hoped for a particular picture of my newborn with his siblings, and she was so patient and went out of her way to create the most beautiful photo- exactly what I wanted! As a former NICU nurse, she even answered so many questions I had as a worried new mom. You can tell she loves the babies she photographs and makes each experience special…from the personalized welcome to the ordering appointment to the beautifully packaged photos…everything was above and beyond!”
– Jen M.
2025 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Photographer
MnM Family Photography, LLC
Chester Springs
“Marisa of MnM Family Photography is a joy to work with and her photos speak for themselves. She has a keen artistic eye and the galleries she produces are a wonderful combination of posed family photos and beautiful artwork. She took stunning newborn photos of my son in her in-home studio and we have worked with her on numerous other occasions, both mini sessions and family sessions in different locations. Every time, she is an absolute pleasure to work with! She is able to help guide us to avoid awkward photos, coax smiles out of shy kiddos, and document the little unplanned moments that I’ll want to remember years down the road.”
