Gettysburg Engagment Session

I met Rachel at a location that meant a lot to her and her fiance, Matthew. They both attended Gettysburg College and it made an ideal location to take their engament photos. I loved hearing about how different areas and buildings have different meanings to them.

Thanks guys for such a great time. It was great getting to meet you and learn more about you two. Totally stoked for Rachel and Matt's wedding in Gettysburg next year!!

XC States 2010

Recently I had the pleasure of shooting the Cross Country States in Hershey for PennTrackXC.com. Here are a few good shots of some amazing runners!

I had an interesting day though. While I was waiting in between races, I heard what sounded like someone falling into the quary next to the bridge where I was sitting. I walked over to see 5 deer swimming. They jumped out right near where I was standing and tried to ram their ways through the fence. Ever see a deer swim? I never had. Sorry it's not the best photo!Later, a deer came running down the trail, came within a few feet of me, scrambled across the bridge then went leaping across the stream. Turns out a deer ran right into a runner and hit her in the face. Wild!

One of the top male runners for the day. Ryan Gil.Congrats to all of the runners!

Erin's Boudiors

I've been waiting for quite some time to share these with my blog viewers. We were waiting until after she gave her groom his album as a gift on the day of their wedding. I had a blast with Erin. She was so excited to give such an awesome gift to the man of her dreams. Afterwards, she sent me the sweetest messages about how I made her feel so comfortable, but most importantly, BEAUTIFUL. I'm sure you'll agree on the beautiful part!!

A big thank you goes to Brandy who did Erin's hair and make-up for the day. Awesome job!

The month of November only, if you come in for boudoirs you will recieve $25 off your package price. If you bring a friend, you both will recieve $50 off your packages. The regular package is $250. Calendars are an awesome holiday present ladies! I'm also entertaining boudoir bachelorette parties. If you come in with 4-6 girls, the future bride gets her entire package for free. We'll have drinks, music, relax and have a ton of fun with hair, make-up and some hott photos!

Abbey's Sr Portraits

Last weekend I had the pleasure of working with Abbey McConnell taking her senior portraits. She did awesome- especially for not being too thrilled about having her photo taken!

Abbey photographed beautifully! Rock it Abbey!
These fields are beautiful this time of year!

Thank you to my husband for coming out and holding my reflector for the day and thank you to Abbey for being such a great sport all morning!

Published

After seeing many of my photography mentors post blogs about getting published in magazines, I dreamt of the day it would happen to me. It seems almost like rising to a new level with your business. As if to say, I have arrived. Well, I can finally say it.

I have arrived.

I was recently informed that a couple I took engagement photos of had a picture published in the Patriot News' Wedding Style magazine Fall 2010 edition. They are now in the running to have their wedding published in an up and coming issue which would feature the photos I just took this past Saturday. I'm trying to play it cool, but I'm so overly excited about having my first photo published!

Be cool. Be cool. Here is the spread...

Here is the photo by itself so you can see it better.

Blasts From the Past

My faithful blog reader, Charity, one of my ONLY blog readers, pointed out that she's never seen photos I've taken at the "waterfalls" in Carlisle before. It made me realize that there are a lot of families I photographed last fall that I never posted.

So here are a few blasts from the past.

A note to current Army War College families:

I will have family sessions available all fall/winter. I was VERY busy last year, so make sure you book early to get a spot!

I have studio and outdoor session options.

Maya is Tutu Cute!

Tuesday morning I got out of the shower to find Maya's 6 year old brother helping her get dressed. He was slipping on her black tap shoes after dressing her in this new outfit that Grammy bought her. Immediately I thought- PHOTOSHOOT!

Most of these poses Maya came up with on her own.

Kisses to everyone!
