Sunday, I had the pleasure of photographing 6 sweet kids! They are all cousins and we tried real hard to get a group shot of some sort…Anna, the youngest was just not having it….that is until 5 adults,including myself put on a hysterical rendition of Elmo’s world. Here are just a few quick shots of each kid. I’ll have the rest for you soon! Thanks guys!

Last night, I met Alicia and Seth at Long’s Park for their engagement session. We had never met in person, so I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find them. But, those fears subsided when they pulled up smiling. We were quite lucky that we haven’t turned the clocks back yet and had a little more light for the shoot. The sun setting was perfect light! I tell all my couples when I am shooting to be prepared for anything. I am very random and when I see something great, we move fast. Alicia and Seth put up with a lot and we had a great time giggling over the silly things happening in the park. Here are a few from last night.

Well, it was a success! I was a little worried about trick or treat this year because last year, Braden freaked out when we put a monkey costume on him. But for the past week or so, all he talked about was being a horse and getting candy in his bucket. He would tell everyone he saw ” I go Trick or Treat and get candy in my bucket?” Everything is in the form of a question these days. So the time came and he got dressed no problem! It was great this year since we didn’t turn the clocks back yet and had a little more light to start. We met up with Kobe and Braden’s cousins like we do every year and hit the biggest neighborhood we can find. Kobe decided to be an Indian since his cousin was a cowboy.
In this neighborhood, we always start at the same house because they go all out with the blow up monsters, skulls, smoke and creepy noises. I thought this was the end of trick or treat for Braden. He went up to the house, and as soon as something moved and made a noise, he took off backward and knocked half the stuff over in the yard. I quick snatched him up and headed to a quieter house. After almost 2 hours, we called it a night. Overall, the kids got a ton of candy and had a good time. Now someone needs to hide the candy from me….

Cousin Jake the lion…

I am not a big holiday decorator. But for some reason this Halloween, I thought I was Martha Stewart. What gave me the urge to carve a pumpkin, I don’t know. I knew how this would end up….Kids start out wanting to help and as soon as you tell them to scoop out the pumpkin….”Ewwww! I’m not touching that!” And I have boys! Not only do we have to carve a pumpkin, I thought, “Why not make a cool one?” I let Kobe pick out the design from this little book we got that came with all the tools to help you carve your masterpiece. He couldn’t pick an easy one, well, it wasn’t the hardest, so I shouldn’t complain. But I knew that with those little saws they give you I was bound to break something off. I did! And I swear there was something wrong with my pumpkin. Because in all the years that we had hollowed pumpkins growing up, I never had one shred like spaghetti. So here is a small slice of Halloween in our house….luckily you can’t see the little pin holding the skull head together after I broke it off…

Sunday, I met Nicole and Kevin in Harrisburg for their engagement session. It was a little chilly down near the river, so we went into the city. I can’t remember when I laughed so much during a shoot! These two had me cracking up with picking on each other and the jokes. We had soooo much fun! I can’t wait for the wedding! Here are just a few from the day!

Saturday, Katie and I met Misty and Brian at Cameron Estates
once again for our last wedding of the season!! The day started out rainy and changed the plans for the outdoor ceremony. We started out in the main house while the girls got ready and then headed over to the carriage house for the ceremony. Even though it was held inside, it was still beautiful! This was the first time I had seen the unity cup instead of a candle. Nice touch!
After the ceremony, we took the family and the wedding party away from the guests to do formals and some fun shots of just Misty and Brian. Then it was back to the reception where Dennis from FM 97 was DJing. The party was in full gear once dinner was served. Misty and Brian both work in the entertainment industry and had many radio celebs on hand! It was great to finally put the faces to the voices we hear everyday. Thanks guys for letting us share in your special day! Here is your show and a few of my faves!

I had to use Gino’s tattoo for this!

Last week, I went to NYC for Photo Expo plus. I went with my friend Desiree and there we met up with a whole crew of photographers for dinner at The Park. What an incredible experience to be seated at a table with about 24 for the best wedding photographers in the country. (note…I have no pics of this….) I’ll see if I can snag some from my friend Jeff.
Thursday we headed over to the trade show to check out new “toys” and products for the business. We were so tired from walking the city from the day before, we rested before we went out for another GTG with even more photographers. I only took a few shots from the trip….like I said, I will get some up here soon that are not mine….Des and her flamingo from the Shootsac booth.2 of my greatest friends…. Desiree
and JasonCrazy Joel!

Sunday, I met the Hasson crew out at Lititz Springs park for their family session and some fun with the kids. The weather was better than I could have imagined! Here are a few from out shoot!

Don’t ya just love em! Luckily, I still use pen and paper for a lot, but….

Sorry for the inconvenience!!

Saturday, Katie and I met a very nervous Kelly in Lancaster at a family friends house while she got ready. Just like any wedding day, time flew by so fast, we hurried through portraits to get to the church in time. After a perfect ceremony, we headed over to Cameron Estates
for the reception and for Kelly and Andy to spend sometime getting their formals done. The weather was soooo incredible and the sun lighting up the leaves on the trees was killer! We finished up and headed into the carriage house for dinner and dancing. Steve from Occasion’s DJ
was great to work with again!
Have fun in Jamaica guys!
Here is your show!
