PERFECTION!!
We went outside for a few shots before the sun went down!
A DREAM TO PHOTOGRAPH!
I love that VOLDEMORT was there!!
An Marisse & Michael – I had a GREAT time spending the day with you! THANK YOU so much for asking me!
I got a message on FACEBOOK from An Marisse asking if I was available on September 25 – but I already had a family session and an engagement session scheduled that day!
We talked a little bit more and she was very interested in booking so I asked if my other sessions could reschedule – and they said ABSOLUTELY!!
Michael and An Marisse live in California but were traveling back to PA to get married because it’s where Michael grew up!!
I met with them in person a week before the wedding. I knew she would be a DREAM to photograph!
An’s sister was there to help her get dressed!
Sometimes photos just BEG to be black & white!!
I didn’t plan this shot – but when I looked back through the window to see if she was ready – it was waiting!!
A STAINED-GLASS SILHOUETTE!? YES PLEASE!!!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!!
An Marisse changed dresses and we met at the park!!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!
STUNNING!!
Make sure to come back and see the rest of their wedding!!
Cassie messaged me about engagement photos for her and Kolton!!
I was SO excited but that also turned into the realization that someone I grew up with in church (who is my age) has a daughter preparing to get married!?
I AM NOT THAT OLD!!
BUT – Jared’s parents met my parents at my dad’s 40th birthday party – so … I AM that old!!!
ANYWAY – we met at Waverly Glen because it’s BEAUTIFUL and local to them (and me when I’m visiting my parents)!
I had a little time to kill before they got there – so I explored!!
It was late September and a little chilly – so we avoided getting IN the water!!
The top of the waterfall is also GORGEOUS – so made a trip up the hill!!
STUNNING!!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
Cassie & Kolton – thank you so much for trekking all over with me!
I hope it works out to be there on your wedding day!!
NIKKI!!! I had such a great time trekking all over the farm with you guys!! I hope these pictures are everything you were hoping for!
Heleen and her family were submitted by here sister for my BEAUTIFUL contest in March of 2021!!
We set up a Monday evening in September and it was an absolutely GORGEOUS evening!!
I hope you can FEEL the happiness in these photos!!
I LOVE this sheet with the shadows!!! You might have figured out that it’s my new favorite thing!
GORGEOUS!!
The definition of childhood – a big stick as a sword!!
PURE PERFECTION!!
Heleen – I LOVED hanging out and chatting about life and Jesus with you!! I can’t WAIT till next time!
Brandie messaged me and asked if I had any openings for fall photos – thankfully I did!!
We met at my FAVORITE creek!!
Part of the challenge in coming to this creek with several clients is finding new ways to see it!!
I LOVE THIS ANGLE!!
Brandie!! Thank you SO MUCH for spending a little bit of your afternoon with me!! I hope to see you again soon!
THE BUBBLES!!!
I LOVE a good veil shot!!
REAL smiles are the BEST smiles!!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!
A little photographer in the making!!
She makes ALL the faces but I LOVE this little face the best!!
THE BEST WEDDING CAKE TOPPER EVER!!!
ALWAYS make time to sneak off together and grab a few photos before the end of the night!
I try to keep myself OUT of the photos – but this one called for it!!
Danielle & Martin – I absolutely LOVED spending your wedding day with you!!
I hope to work with you guys again soon!!!
I met Danielle & Martin through the best referral source out there – YOUR WORD!!
Kate Blackwell (a former bride) works with Martin’s sister Amanda and that’s how she got my name!
PERFECT SHOT!!
You know that details are my FAVORITE!! And these details – are my ABSOLUTE favorite!!!
Danielle REALLY wanted a picture of her daughter in HER wedding dress!! It only lasted for a quick moment – but we got it!!
BUT we did get some GREAT ones of V in her own dress!!
She is SO MUCH FUN!!
A little bit of LEGO – I DO!!
These scenes are my favorite – just capturing what happens to be in front of me!!
Isn’t she SO GORGEOUS!?
Perfect moments!!
I loved the shadows in this spot!!
Those last few moments before the BIG moment!!
SO BEAUTIFUL!!
HUSBAND & WIFE!!!
I ADORE those shots!!! The bubbles – their sweet kiddos looking on!! PERFECT!
OH MY HEART!! Those bubbles and the crinkled nose!! A crinkled nose smile is a REAL smile!!!!
I’ll show you the rest of their wedding tomorrow!!!!
I went to college with Saunseray – so we’ve known each other a LONG time!
BUT – Jared’s cousin Alyssa is one of Saunseray’s best friends! Alyssa got a gift certificate for them and we were finally able to work out a time together!
Aren’t they such a gorgeous family!?
THE BOYS!!
THE GIRLS!!
PERFECTION!!
PERFECT!!! I LOVE THAT SHOT!!
SO MUCH FUN!!
I am in LOVE with these silhouette shots!!
THE BOOKENDS!!!
I realized when I was editing these photos that I didn’t have any of the 5 kids together – except a silhouette.
Luckily they live not too far from me and were able to meet me in downtown Corning between sessions the next weekend to grab a few!!
Saunseray – thank you SO MUCH for meeting up with me again!! I appreciate that you were so understanding!!!
I hope to see you again soon!!
I’ve been taking pictures of this family for nearly 10 years!!
This year they met me at a favorite creek exploring spot!
OH MY GOODNESS!! I LOVE THAT SPOT!!
Sherry – thank you SO MUCH for making the drive to this GORGEOUS spot!!
I wonder where we should go next year!!!
