This trip had been a trip in the making for YEARS. Seriously. Since 2020, we’ve been dreaming of traversing the rugged and beautiful landscape of Iceland. We planned this trip three times – once in 2020, then again for 2023, and then again for 2024 – the third time was the charm, and we finally […]

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 […]

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 […]
