I LOVE THAT SHOT!!!
We ran back inside to WARM UP because it was SO COLD that day!!
And they talked to to the people that couldn’t make it to the ceremony!!
I cannot imagine our lives without FACETIME!!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!
They’ve waited a LONG time for this moment!!
That’s one of my FAVORITE photos of the day!!
I ADORE THAT SHOT!!!
Courtney & Kevin – THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to spend this long overdue day with you!!!
Courtney found me on THE KNOT!
She and Kevin had dated YEARS ago and then lost touch.
BUT they found their way back to each other and didn’t want to waste another second!!
Courtney LOVES her nieces – and they equally adore her!
I love that she’s still in her jammies!!
I couldn’t believe that her stuffy was a RAINBOW TROUT!!!
My maiden name is Trout and my dad REALLY wanted to name me RAINBOW!!
Being an aunt before you have your own children – it’s a MAGICAL thing!!
True to late fall – early winter in North PA – it was a VERY windy & chilly day – but it was their wedding day and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!
Do you see how intense her gaze is!? She was MORE than ready to say I DO!!
THEY DID IT!!! HUSBAND & WIFE!!!
NOW it was time to warm up!!!
Scott is another friend that I spent A LOT of time with over 20 years ago!!
He is married to the sweetest girl – Terri!
She wanted some updated photos of her oldest!!
And the little brother – WHO IS ADORABLE!!!
Aren’t they BEAUTIFUL!?
Terri had breast cancer – last year – I think. She is a fighter. The things she shares about Jesus are absolutely beautiful. She is beautiful. This whole family is beautiful.
Terri’s cancer is back. Pray with us.
THANK YOU for asking me to capture a little bit of your beautiful family!!!
Meghan messaged me about having her family photos taken – BUT – she is fostering so there are rules about showing the faces of the kids you foster online.
This was the PERFECT chance to use some shadows!!
THE BEST!!
Meghan and her son – who is TALLER than her and is STILL growing!!
THE BEST!!
After I gave Meghan her photos she messaged me and said – I’m gonna be honest with you. I am an extremely difficult person to please. So when I tell you that I LOVE these pictures I want you to fully understand what a high compliment that is. I like art to tell a story so the fact that you were able to capture the story in these pictures means even more to me. I knew you wouldn’t disappoint. One of the reasons I love your work so much is because I always feel like it tells a story.
THIS IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO!!!
I love when people connect with the photos they see. When the photos they see – of complete strangers – give them the feelings. It’s why I want you to hire me. To give you emotional photography. Not because I’m a “good photographer” but because you know that I will give you photos that bring out the emotion from that moment.
THANK YOU MEGHAN!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I hope to see you again!!
I met with Roni and her family on a CHILLY November morning!!
REAL SMILES!!!
THESE MOMENTS!!!
I told you it was a CHILLY morning!!
OH MY HEART!! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!!
GOODNESS!!! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!!
THE SWEETEST BROTHER & SISTER EVER!!
RONI!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me into your lives every year!!!
NEXT YEAR – let’s do a little earlier to make sure it’s warmer!!
I LOVE photographing clients year after year after year.
But I also LOVE meeting new clients!!
We had to reschedule our session – but I’m SO glad that Megan was able to get on the schedule!
GAH!!! THAT TOOTHLESS SMILE!!!
Isn’t he SO ADORABLE!?
PERFECTION!!
THIS!!! BE SILLY TOGETHER!!!!
MEGAN!!! I loved spending the evening with you and your family!!
I hope to see you again THIS YEAR!!
I’ll be taking wedding photos for Kellsy & James in October!!
I HIGHLY recommend having an engagement session with your photographer before your wedding!
It helps you get to know one another a little bit before spending THE day together!!
I KNEW this would be a KILLER session!!
AHHHHH!!! I LOVE THOSE!!!
Kellsy and James were up for my vision!!
This might be my NEW favorite place to take photos!!
Can you guys lay in the grass for me!?
AND THEY SAID YES WITH NO PROBLEM!!! NEW FAVORITES!!
SERIOUSLY!! THE BEST!!
The location I’ve been wanting to try out – which is a little bit of a hike to get to – AND a killer silhouette shot!?
They’re my FAVORITE!!!
Aren’t they GORGEOUS!?
Kellsy & James!! THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME & ADVENTUROUS!!
I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR WEDDING IN OCTOBER!
Linda grabbed a last minute opening before the “season” ended!
That is one of my most FAVORITE photos EVER!!!
That one wasn’t posed. It wasn’t planned. It just happened!! AND IT’S MY FAVORITE!!
LINDA!!! Thank you so much for spending the evening with me!!
This sweet little face!!
AND THAT SWEET LITTLE FACE!!
Watching this family grow has been SUCH A JOY!!
I ADORE that series of photos! They collect those nuts with her and her grandparents and I’m SO happy we were able to capture some of those cherished moments!
The wind. The smiles. The hugs. The love. The eyelashes. FAVORITE!!!
And you KNOW I love a good silhouette!!
PERFECTION!!
They were married at this EXACT spot!!
And now they’re here with their sweet girls they prayed so hard for!
FAVORITE!!!
Jessica & Chris – I LOVED spending the evening with you guys!
I can’t WAIT to see you next year!!
I’ve been taking photos of Sierra and her family for OVER 7 years!!!
We met through MOPS and PLAYGROUP at the YMCA but also knew lots of different mutual people through lots of different connections.
I spoke about my friendship with Missy and Sierra wanted in on something like that.
We both made an effort to connect with each other and get together.
And if you’ve followed me on social media at all – you now know that Sierra and her family are part of our people.
TRYING to be serious is HARD!
She might be one of my FAVORITE people to photograph!!
I LOVE THAT SHOT!!
Jose & Sierra – THANK YOU for your friendship. THANK YOU for asking me to photography your lives!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
