Mat & Kids // Father's Heart Series Family Session with Dad and Kids in Green Lane, PA

Mat, Mat, Mat... I've known Mat for several years, since I was in Middle School, and he's always been a great guy. Now, he's a husband and a father to two beautiful little girls and although I haven't seen or talked with him in a while, it seemed like the same ol' Mat when I was photographing his sweet, little family.
I got to talk to Karah, while shooting the precious moments of Arella running to Mat with arms wide, yelling, "Papa! Papa!", and learn more about their parenting journey and lifestyle. They are so genuine and have such pure hearts when it comes to their children. I could explode just seeing how Mat treated those two little girls.
Words cannot describe the atmosphere that was in our mini-session at Green Lane Park. It was casually comfortable but so rich in sweetness. Mat was tender and present while speaking to Arella and oh-so gentle with Talia in his arms.
The heart I have behind my Father's Heart Series was perfectly-imperfectly captured by Mat and those adorable girls. As I was peering through my viewfinder to snap these photos, I found myself wrapped up in my thoughts.. God, you are so incredible that you would make us in your image. To see a man love his children unconditionally and so passionately, it is only a glimpse of who you truly are!
