Tania and Fred emailed me a few weeks ago in hopes of getting a maternity session in before they welcomed their little girl into the world! When I asked Tania what she wanted for her session she said “Grass and fields”. I think we were able to deliver on that at the beautiful park where […]

Luke is my brother in law and when his adorable girlfriend Emily is over, I insist on taking their photos. Every single time! They met at college last fall at Penn State and became instant friends. In the words of Luke, “I wasn’t looking for a girlfriend and she just showed up. I knew I […]

This is one of the most heavily asked questions in the wedding industry for photographers. When I started, I relied on what I saw on social media. I paid super close attention to what other photographers were wearing, and tried to base my attire off of theirs. The outfit that I wore for my very […]

The rain rescheduled this session for us a couple times. Mackenzie + Kenny really wanted a beautiful sunset for their engagement session to try and recreate what the sky was like when Kenny proposed. Though we weren’t ever able to get a nice evening, we made it happen with a 5am wakeup call and driving […]
