Harrisburg Photographer- The Joint Ball

If you love a man in uniform, you're going to love this post.  I recently had the honor of photographing a formal military ball for the students attending the US Army War College in Carlisle.  Nothing more appropriate to post this Memorial Day Weekend.  Proud to say many of these couples are my friends.  They inspire me.

 These bag pipers, who came to the event to play with no monetary compensation, had me in tears during their rendition of Amazing Grace. The USAWC Commandant said it best- if you were not moved by that, then check your pulse.

The MC for the night pulled together a beautiful event with the entire Joint Ball Committee with the help of the Hershey Lodge.

Happy Memorial Day everyone and Thank You to all the service men and women out there defending our way of life.

Took Ian's senior portraits on Sunday and am super stoked to share them. 

 I love the backlit shots.  Something I've never tried with senior portraits.

 Killer blue eyes.

Used a few Totally Rad Actions on these photos.  Love their products.  If you are a photographer, go check them out!

Devann O'Connell's Senior Portraits

A couple of months ago Devann won a contest to become one of my senior reps to help me advertise my business to others in the area for senior portraits. She was so easy to photograph! She's beautiful and posing came naturally to her. We went out on what seemed like a perfect day for photos...Gorgeous.Then the winds picked up and we keep having to dodge the rain storms that rolled through the area. After hiding in our vehicles a bit, we were able to finish the shoot.One of my favorites.Thanks Devann for entering the contest! You were a pleasure to work with.

Happy Mother's Day!

Loved the shots with mom's helping hands in these photos. Thought it would be appropriete for a Mother's Day post. First mother (meaning you have children) to comment on this post will recieve $25 off of prints or products from me! Happy Mother's Day!

I will be photographing children with little baby ducklings the second weekend in April and am planning to have photos by Easter for anyone who wants to give them out as gifts to relatives.

Kaylena's Senior Portraits

This past fall I had the pleasure of taking Kaylena's senior portraits. Since I get off of work at 4:30 and the timechange for daylight savings had already taken place- we crammed our session into a half hour of daylight. It made for an exciting shoot!
She's got the greatest smile...

Thanks for running around with me and having me photograph you Kaylee! It was a lot of fun to shoot with someone with such a great personality and who is so easy going :)
