So, last night I was on my way home from a shoot and I noticed that there was a ton of traffic in town. Once I got closer, I saw what everyone was slowing down for….
If you don’t already know, I live in Mount Joy and it is a very small town. So when something new opens or happens, it is a big deal.
Yes, Sonic is now open in Mount Joy! I am a geek. I did stop and shoot. But as you see, it wasn’t of just Sonic opening…they had some pretty hot cars in the drive in.
I did not stop to eat…they were only serving ice cream so far….
Honestly, I am excited. I have never been to Sonic and I know it isn’t the healthiest of choices, but guaranteed, I will be getting chili cheese tater tots…..

I find little things to amuse myself and others…..
I saw this on another photographers blog and thought I would do it…. it is quite funny. (and a little scary)

ETA: Liesa and Mark thought these were so funny, that I had to torture them too!!!

Calling all photographers!
I had the pleasure of participating in a Pay it Forward project by John and Dalisa Cooper. The purpose for this project is to photograph photographers and their families since, well, we don’t ever have a chance to be in front of the camera. As, I looked on my shelves, I noticed that it was either the kids or my kids and husband in all the pictures. So this was an awesome opportunity. As part of this project, I am Paying it Forward by photographing a few photographers and their families for FREE! This includes the session and a free 16×20 canvas. ***Photographers only***** The only other stipulation is, you have to Pay it Forward as well to another photographer and so on. Hopefully this will come back full circle! So email me if you are interested!! Families aren’t just Parents and kids….You can be a family of one and a pet as well….
Click here to see the project and their adventures along the way.

PS. after our shoot, you have to complete your shoot within 30 days….

After months of planning…..it has started……

Well, the fun started last Sunday evening at when a bunch of photographers got together for a little BBQ at the Wiebners since John Michael and Dalisa Cooper were coming as part of their ALTF roadtrip. We stayed for a few hours and then went to Krisha’s studio for a little Guitar Hero.
The next morning, we headed back to the Weibners for the workshop. I always enjoy watching John speak. He is truly one of a kind. I admire his spontaneity and creativeness all the time. JMC and Dalisa are also doing a project called Pay it Forward. They are shooting family portraits of photographers and their families for free. It is something so special for me because I am never in my family photos. This is pretty much why they are doing it, because we are always behind the camera.. So, Tony, myself, Braden and Kobe were photographed on Tuesday as part of Pay it Forward. The only stipulation of the shoot was, we have to continue to Pay it Forward to another photographer and their family and thus, they do the same. The point is for it eventually to come around full circle.
So, if you are a photographer, and want a family portrait done, please email me!

Also, check out JMC’s Blog to see other parts of the roadtrip and road side portraits.
