MEET Holly & Grant

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 […]

Colin and Katie are some of my dearest friends. They started dating when they met in college three years ago, and have been madly in love since! Colin has been friends with me since high school, and he honestly is like one of my brothers. Katie is the perfect compliment for him, and I love […]

Samson is a good friend of mine from a few years back. He started dating Claire about a year ago, and I’ve been dying to get the two of them in front of the camera. So finally this weekend, I got to do just that! We had a great time walking around the Harrisburg Capital […]

Sarah reached out to me about family photos after she saw the photos I did of her friend’s wedding. Though rain threatened to cancel our fun, Grant and I headed out to Hanover to land the Meckley’s had just purchased to photograph them on it. It did indeed rain during the session, but it didn’t […]

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 […]

This session was the first full session that I photographed with my new camera the R6. After much anxiety and trying to arrange someone to meet with me before my wedding that coming weekend, I was able to secure a fun session with these two. Becca + Donavan have been dating for a few years […]

Camp YoliJwa is a sacred place. Set back in the mountains of Doubling Gap PA, it’s one of the holiest places to walk on. It’s here that a lot of love stories start, interwoven with God’s divine plan. Grace + David got engaged on this soil, and now, they get to celebrate their engagement there […]

So somehow Blake found me on instagram by searching #harrisburgphotographer. Praise the Lamb for hashtags my friends. Blake and his wife Sarah were the absolute sweetest! Their little one Lincoln was so happy our whole entire time together. He even did a great job walking all on his own an insisting on carrying his backpack. […]

Okay. So the world jumped when Canon announced the newest camera to their mirrorless line – the Canon R6. The initial R was a flurry of excitement, and the R5 shook the camera world. However, being much more expensive than the normal consumer could afford, I think everyone got excited when the newest R6 was […]
