I’ve been taking photos for Sheri & JC for FIVE YEARS! I look forward to their sessions every year!
This year – they asked if I would join them on one of their favorite hikes – at the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon!
I forgot that I was supposed to meet them in town and follow them out – so we had a little later start than I intended – but it worked out BEAUTIFULLY!

JUST LOOK AT THAT SCENERY – I knew this was gonna be a good one!

I love those shots! I’m gonna call you out here Sheri – every year she says – maybe a couple of us – but mostly just the kids!
GET IN THE PICTURE! When your kids are older – they will have so much joy having pictures with their parents in them!
Lifestyle sessions are the BEST way to get you photo-shy people IN THE PICTURE!

THOSE pictures on the other hand – I do not love so much.
Gross. Ugh. Ack. I wouldn’t even really tell you that I’m afraid of heights – but THIS gives me a panic attack! ALL THE NOPE!

Another long one – I mean – they are all long – because I have that over-shooting problem I mentioned – but COME ON! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PICK!
I hope you’re still with me!

Sheri & JC – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to come along on a hike – it turned out to be one of my FAVORITE sessions of 2016!
Maybe – just maybe next year you can take me to Hawaii with you for your yearly session! We are running out of new places to shoot!
