Happy New Year Everyone! Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything – December was a CRAZY month for us!! I will be going back to post shoots we didn’t get to blog in 2009…. here is a shoot that I just LOVED!! Karin and I met up on a Sunday, the day after our first snow storm of the winter… it was cold, but she was such a trooper!! Hope you love your Bridal Couture Collection, Karin…. you were a stunning model to work with!!! THANK YOU for such a fun shoot!
I had such a great afternoon with Alyssa & Spencer in downtown Lancaster! We met at Carmen & David’s Creamery to start their Engagement Session, which was very fitting since this is where we had our first wedding consult months and months ago. We then ended the session with ice cream at the Creamery – if you have never been there, I highly recommend checking it out!! Carmen & David make the most delicious ice cream and have such unique flavors to boot!! Alyssa, Spencer and I had a wonderful time during their session, but I think the highlight for all of us were our Creamery treats ! ; ) Thank you for a great day Alyssa & Spencer!!! Looking forward to the big day in April!!
The Fall truly is the greatest time of the year! Besides the fact that it is beautiful, I get to hang out with all my friends and photograph their families! Katie & TJ are my BFFs and have been ever since we were all roomies in our pre-children days in Philly. They now have two children, Cole and Carly, who are my daughter’s BFFs….not to mention that Cole is my Godson ! We had to cancel their shoot in Philly where they live because of rain, so they ended up traveling out my way and it turned out to be a gorgeous day in Mt. Gretna! Love those kissing shots BFFs!
Photographing the Kelly Kids is always one of the highlights of the year for me! Hannah, Jett & Dax are just gorgeous and the camera loves them!! We chose the riverfront for this year’s session and on the way found the most adorable red and green stoop… so perfect for a holiday shoot! Thanks for experimenting with me on locations, Bree…next year we’ll have to make Shawn come along! ; )
Kara and I bonded while watching our high school boyfriends play baseball together and we have been best of friends ever since! I ADORE her family – she has the greatest husband (AKA “Doug the Couch Carrier”) and the sweetest, most beautiful children. Oh! and we can’t forget about their newest addition, Cash, who is just a ball of energy! It is so much fun to photograph them every year, and I am always excited to see what outfits Kara has come up with for them all. As usual, she didn’t disappoint… the girl’s red tutus were adorable and I was so happy to see that Jack brought his infamous red cape! And Cade just gets more and more handsome everytime I see him. It was a great afternoon of shooting – thank you all for being so great!!
Gorgeous couple!! I swear Jenny looks like Jenny McCarthy… and her name is Jenny to top it off! ; ) Their Wedding Day began at the Lancaster Bible College/Good Shephard Chapel, where they had a beautiful ceremony and Andrew was then able to get some fun photos of them outside! Everyone celebrated the night away at The Eden Resort Courtyard. The details were stunning, check out the cake by Martine of House of Clarendon below!

I might be slightly biased since Joe is my cousin, but I do believe he and Adrienne are absolutely gorgeous together! We met at Longwood Gardens for there Engagement Session, they chose this spot because this is where Joe proposed. Adrienne has truly brought out the romantic in him…. our Grandma would be so proud to see all those smiles, Joe!! Thank you for a great afternoon guys, can’t wait for July!!!
We spent two days photographing the children at Tender Heart Learning Center in Annville, PA. It was so much fun!!! Thank you to all the staff and parents for helping to make it such a great time for the kids! Here are a few previews from the shoots…
The most adorable nephews EVER!!… and their gorgeous parents! : )
Bryan & Jenni have such a unique and touching story…. they had to cancel all of their wedding plans right before the big day, as Bryan was called to go to Iraq. So they ended up having something small before he left and are now planning to renew their vows with a big celebration in June 2010. When I met with Jenni and her mom, Paula, this past August, Bryan was still in Iraq, but was supposed to return home very soon. I was so happy when I got the call from Paula a few weeks ago saying Bryan was home and that they wanted to schedule their “Engagement Session”!! Welcome home Bryan! See you guys in June! ; )
