Kathryn Shelton
"Naomi did a photo shoot for me and my 7 month old baby. As a mom herself, Naomi did an amazing job getting my little guy to smile and look ADORABLE in the pics. She made us feel comfortable throughout the shoot. But when I got the pictures...words can't describe. They were so beautiful I almost cried. I really appreciate Naomi capturing this moment in our lives. I can't recommend her enough."

"I had the most amazing experience with Naomi! She shot me and my little brothers graduation photos, and they came out absolutely incredible. She is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in photography, not to mention she is exceptionally personable and friendly which made the entire experience one of a kind. The photos were edited and sent back to us very quickly, and we were shocked at how amazing they came out. Thank you Naomi! You are everything❤️"

"Naomi was so sweet in person, she kindly took interest to all the little details about our growing family. She was friendly, took timely efficient yet beautiful detailed photographs. She captured the joy my playful toddler is, so far the only photographer to succeed at this, since he tends to take his time to warm up to people outside our family circle. Thank you for being friendly!"

Meet Naomi –
Founder & Philadelphia Family Photographer
I’m Naomi - photographer, painter, doula, wife, and mother, passionate about weaving your family's legacy into timeless art.
I come from a long line of artists, and growing up surrounded by generations of artwork on our walls, I felt part of something bigger than myself. That early exposure didn’t just shape my creativity - it taught me the power of legacy and how visual storytelling can connect generations.
Today, through fine art portraiture, I guide families in creating that same powerful connection. When your children walk past a beautiful family portrait on the wall, or pause to trace familiar eyes and smiles in an heirloom album, they see themselves as part of something bigger - a living map of their roots, their belonging, their place in the world. These images become more than decoration; they shape how they carry themselves, how they love, and how they remember.
Every session is a gentle pause in time: a chance to honor the tender bonds that make your family yours. What we create together isn’t fleeting snapshots - it’s legacy art. Timeless, tangible pieces - fine art prints, bespoke albums, wall art - that will be the heartbeat of your home today and become cherished heirlooms your children will hang in their own homes one day.
Your family’s love deserves to be held close, seen daily, and cherished across generations… forever.
'Portraits aren't just pictures - they're the threads that connect us across time, reminding us of where we come from and who we hold dear.'
