I look forward to our sessions every year!!

This year – Jan asked if we could mostly do a lifestyle session at the farm!! YES!!! ALWAYS!!

THAT SWEET LITTLE GUY!!!!

I have a similar photo of his sister in that same crib!! SO SWEET!

Getting ready for farm chores!!

This isn’t a good start for him – sleeping on the job!!

This might be my FAVORITE picture to depict how I want to photograph you and your families!

It wasn’t posed. She was just doing what she does. And like many mommas – doing an AMAZING job multi-tasking ALL the things!

THESE are the moments!!

OH MY GOODNESS!! That sweet little face!

What does a mom do when she needs BOTH hands free on the farm with a newborn!? THIS!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!

JAN!!! Thank you SO MUCH for asking me to follow you around on the farm!!

This was one of my favorite sessions EVER!!!

 

 

You know this already but I HIGHLY prefer these shots to the “looking at me” shots!

AHHHH!!

EVERY GIRL NEEDS A SISTER!!

I was SO happy the sun came out for some shadows!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

I love that one too!! The sweet moment in the chaos of the background.

Sharlin messaged me after she got the photos and said – I DIDN’T EVEN SEE THIS HAPPENING! THANK YOU!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT SHOT!!!

FAVORITE!!!!!

I HAD to include that one!! Because family sessions might LOOK seamless – but I assure – they are not!!

SHARLIN!!! Thank you SO MUCH for spending the evening with me!! I LOVE OUR SESSIONS!!!

 

 

I can’t even deal with this guy!!

THE BEST BROTHERS!!

The REAL smiles are my favorite!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

These are always my favorite!

Miranda had said that *R* wanted to bring his BATMAN costume to the session!?

I said – YES!!!! ABSOLUTELY!

AND I AM SO GLAD THAT SHE DID!! LOOK AT THAT SHOT!

EVERY LITTLE BOY needs a BATMAN silhouette shot!!

Miranda & Brooks – I LOVE our yearly sessions!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

 

 

 

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!

Nikki asked if we could set up a family session at their favorite place – THE FARM!!! YES!!! ALWAYS!!

THESE ARE MY FAVORITE PHOTOS!!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

I took SO MANY photos of this family on the farm – so stay tuned!!

 

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!

 

I ALWAYS look forward to this session each fall!!

Autumn changed the location at the last minute and I am SO glad she did!!

I LOVE REFLECTIONS!!

Silhouettes show SO MUCH emotion – don’t you think!?

We tried to catch the last few minutes of sunlight before it disappeared over the mountain – but it moved quicker than I thought it would!

I DO LOVE THAT ONE THOUGH!!

AND it made for PERFECT silhouettes!!

AUTUMN!!! This is my favorite session of ours yet!!! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!!!!

WHERE WILL WE GO NEXT YEAR!?

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!!!
