Courtney messaged me and said – I’ve been wanting to get photos done with you for a LONG time!

It’s our FIVE year wedding anniversary and we would LOVE to schedule a session!

She’s another referral from Arica & Stephanie! THANK YOU!!

SWOON!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

I always encourage couples to bring at least two outfits – and usually save your favorite for LAST!

GORGEOUS!!

Cuddling your with your husband in an open field during sunset – PERFECTION!!

Courtney & Dave – thank you SO much for hanging out with me! I can’t WAIT to see you again!!

I’ve been photographing Amy’s family for the past 14 YEARS!!

When I met Amy – her oldest was only 6 months old. And now – well – she’s a little older than that!

This time it was HER side of the family! It’s been a few years since they were all together for a photo session!

The twins have been recreating the sweetest kissing photo since they were toddlers – but – we knew it would come to an end someday!

We compromised!

COUSINS!!

SISTERS!!

AMY!! Thank you! It was so great to see you ALL again!!

This little sweetie – she LOVES her baby brother!

EVERYONE loves the baby!

When she shushes him – he calms down. When she sings to him – he stops crying.

I LOVE THAT SHOT! Mom – my eye itches. BUT – I’m holding a baby – so … MOM TO THE RESCUE!

Those are the moments that would otherwise go unnoticed – easily forgotten. MY FAVORITE MOMENTS!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!! PERFECTION!

The little things!

The chicken things!

The tiny baby things.

ALL THE SWEET THINGS!

SARAH!! Thank you SO much for asking me to come photograph an hour in the life of your family!

I hope you love these images as much as I do!!

I met Sarah through the playgroup at the local YMCA & MOPS! She is a fellow geek & an amazing momma!

She asked me to come photograph her family after the arrival of their fourth child!

AN HOUR IN THE LIFE of their new family of SIX! YES YES!!

I ADORE THOSE SHOTS!!

BIG brother & littlest brother!

What life REALLY looks like as a momma of four kiddos! MULTI-TASKING CHAMPION!!

A VERY special delivery!!

Those brand new moments of life – when they fit in the crook of your arm like a missing puzzle piece!

This little life enters your world and you already forget what it was like before they were there – they must have ALWAYS been there.

Make sure to get a picture of THIS – fitting in the crook of your arm – because it doesn’t last for very long. They grow so very fast!!

That last shot – PERFECTION!!

ALL SNUGGLED UP in momma’s arms – the only place a newborn really wants to be!

I’ll show you the rest of their session tomorrow!!

I’ve known Anna’s dad for a LONG time! He’s the super awesome guy that hosts TRIVIA around the region!

He messaged me about taking his daughter’s senior photos – and I was SO excited!

Anna wanted to write a reminder to herself. A good one.

REALIZE YOUR WORTH!

I LOVE THIS NEXT SERIES OF SHOTS!

DEEP MUSTARD YELLOW is one of my FAVORITE colors! ESPECIALLY in those shots!

GORGEOUS!!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

REALIZE YOUR WORTH!! What defines you?

What people say about you? What you THINK you see in the mirror?

REALIZE YOUR WORTH!! It doesn’t lie in what people say about you. It doesn’t lie in that mirror.

ANNA!! I had a GREAT time hanging out with you! Thank you SO much for asking me to photograph this monumental time in your life!

Whatever you do – make sure you LOVE it!

OH – and REMEMBER YOUR WORTH!!

AN HOUR IN THE LIFE of your family – it’s my FAVORITE way to photograph!

THAT SMILE!! THOSE CLOSED EYES!! MY FAVORITE SHOT!!

BE STILL MY HEART!! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

It’s absolutely AMAZING that God created a woman’s body to CARRY & NOURISH her child. That’s a living & breathing LIFE inside that womb! MIRACULOUS!

Isn’t he ADORABLE! Aren’t they BEAUTIFUL! Angie – I cannot WAIT to meet your new addition next time we meet!

THANK YOU so much for asking me to photography this miraculous time in your lives!

I met Angie through her sister Amanda. I met Amanda because of her friend Arica. And I’m not sure how Arica found out about me – but I think it might have been through Stephanie!

When you tell your friends and family about me. When your friends and family see the pictures of YOUR family. THE BEST REFERRAL SOURCE OUT THERE!

Angie & her little family are waiting to add one more!

He really wasn’t sure of me – but to be fair – it was 9 in the morning on a Saturday!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

I won him over – in record time!!

I’ll post the rest of their session tomorrow!

It’s been a LONG time since I had a student ask to work with me!

Nate goes to school with my boys (if you didn’t know – they go to a school that has preschool through 12th all in the same building) and he emailed me asking to talk with me before he photographed a wedding in September. The only thing that worked out for our schedules was Sunday – September 2nd – but I had a wedding. I told him he was welcome to come along – and he did!

He spent the afternoon with the guys while I photographed the girls! Which is ALWAYS a help!

‘

It’s ALWAYS helpful to have two photographers at your wedding! I can’t be in two places at once!

NATE – THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming along with me! I can’t WAIT to see what you do next!

MARRIED!!

THE WHOLE FAMILY! THE WHOLE GUEST LIST! I am LOVING these intimate weddings lately!

She could NOT get that smile off her face! They made my job SO VERY EASY!!

SWOON!!

OH MY WORD!! “You’ll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress … so kiss me.”

A hike into the woods – to get married on a cliffside – SIGN ME UP EVERY WEEKEND!

DINNER WAS AMAZING!

After the ceremony – almost everyone changed and camped out to watch the PENN STATE game!

Claire & Charlie – thank you SO VERY MUCH for asking me to spend the afternoon & evening with you!

ERIN – thank YOU for giving my name to Claire & Charlie!!

I was surprised when we didn’t turn on the typical Grand Canyon route – but a more adventurous one!

A stroll through the woods to say I DO!!

WE MADE IT!

I MEAN – SERIOUSLY!!

PERFECT spontaneous moments! SO MUCH of photography is being in the right place at the right time!

Remember when I told you that their nephews and nice meant SO VERY MUCH to them?

DARLING!

She might be a LITTLE bit excited!!

Claire & Charlie – your ceremony was AMAZING! SO PERFECT!

ONE MORE POST!! But I don’t want it to end!!
