Morning in the Life with Nelle | Documentary Family Photography | Emmaus, PA

I had the pleasure of photographing sweet little Nelle and her parents a few weeks ago in the adorable town of Emmaus, PA. We started our gorgeous fall morning with a trip to Let's Play Books (recently named the best indie book store for kids in PA, and I can totally see why!) Nelle has clearly inherited her parents love of reading, but when your mom is a school librarian, and your dad is an author, I think that's to be expected!

From there we headed over to the Emmaus Farmer's Market, where I wanted to buy everything. I love that Nelle tags along, I think the farmer's market is a great opportunity for kids to learn about food, and see where their food comes from. I'm glad I got to accompany them on their Sunday morning routine, and I'm looking forward to shopping there myself soon!
