Amy LOVED their session from last year and brought the WHOLE family in for the next one!

I was greeted by these smiling faces – I knew it was going to be AWESOME!

This little guy was NOT interested in me AT ALL! But I assured everyone that I win them over – eventually! Almost always!

They LOVED this part!

And I LOVED THIS PART!

Then the sillies started!

See – almost ALWAYS!

Little dirty faces! I LOVE THEM!

Amy – thank you SO MUCH for having the entire family together for a session! You guys were SO FUN!

I took Forrest’s senior photos – and his mom asked if I would come take pictures of his newborn little guy!

Little did I know that when Sadie walked in with Forrest – I had taken her senior pictures too!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

OH MY HEART!

SERIOUSLY!

And those ones! LOVE!

In true newborn form – with me – he had NO interest in sleeping!

Forrest & Sadie – thank you SO much for spending the morning with me!

And – added benefit – Sadie comes to MOPS now – so I get to snuggle with this little guy and watch him grow!

You might remember Stephanie & Zack from their wedding – their first maternity session – and “just because” family sessions!

Another sweet baby boy on the way!

Well – I assure you – he’s here and approaching 6 months old at this point – but he certainly WAS on the way at one point!

Fall is GORGEOUS here in PA!

ADORABLE!

GORGEOUS!

SO BEAUTIFUL!

Stephanie – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to capture this BEAUTIFUL season in your family!

I was in the room when this sweet little thing took her first breath! And getting to see her grow – it’s SO BEAUTIFUL!

You can’t forget the grandparents!

And the friends that are basically family!

OH MY WORD! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Brand new baby cows! BE STILL MY HEART!

Kelly – thank you so much for having me over! I cannot wait to see you guys again SOON!

I’ve taken family photos for Christine in the past – LOTS of pictures of her daughters (they’re basically my FAVORITE people to photograph) – her horses. You name it. She messaged me with another request to do a session – but this one was a first for me!

DUDE!

I love that shot on the left! Determination. Readiness. Focus. Strength.

MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE!

Look at that intensity!

Chris – thank you for asking me go out-of-the-box!

I loved this session! Such a strong representation of commitment and discipline!

 

I LOVE getting together with Luke & Faith and their ADORABLE kiddos!

Momma and her babies!

He is such a sweet boy!

 

Faith & Luke – thank you for asking me to come to your NEW place! I can’t wait to see you again this fall!

Autumn – I LOVE watching your little family grow!

OH SWEET BABY!

ADORABLE!

It’s not right. I shouldn’t be jealous of a newborn’s hair!

Autumn & Ryan – I cannot WAIT to see you this fall!

Adrianne contacted me about newborn photos for her daughter!

Sheri and JC – I did their PA Grand Canyon session this fall – recommended me to her! Thanks guys!

This might be one of my favorite lifestyle sessions!

OH MY HEART – I love those two shots!

MY FAVORITE!

OH! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

That last one – his blurry foot in the corner. Momma cradling her baby girl. LOVE!

The whole family!

Adrianne – thank you so much for welcoming me into your home! I hope to see you again soon!

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!

THIS WAY FOR ADVENTURE!

This truly was a lifestyle session!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that last shot! Perfect focus is totally over-rated!

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!

MIGHT BE THE BEST FAMILY SHOT I’ve EVER taken of them!

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!

 

 

Ashley and Jason welcomed a sweet little boy in December of 2015 and another in November of 2016!

And they are both the SWEETEST things!

Isn’t he DARLING!

GORGEOUS!

Ashley has such a heart for Jesus. For women. Children. Marriage. Community. Seriously – one of the most BEAUTIFUL women I have ever met!

Ashley – thank you so much for opening your heart and your home!
