With all the rain Central PA has been getting, we almost had to cancel this session but thankfully, we were able to squeeze it in between rainstorms. We spent the night catching up and talking about […]

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 […]

I love photographing seniors, and Libby was no exception. She has the sweetest and kindest heart, and is following in her mom’s footsteps to become a nurse.
